The Drop-In
The Reykjavík Grapevine has been published out of down town Reykjavík for more than 20 years, with its offices for most of that time next door to the "World Famous Hot Dog Stand". Every day, people drop-in to our office for various reasons. Sometimes we they tell us interesting stuff that we want to share with you, so we interview them, for your pleasure. There is no theme.
