Find out how you could win a trip to Iceland while eating and shopping.
If fried cod and beef tartare sound tasty to you, you're in luck. The latest edition of Zeppelin Station's Made in a City pop-up series, 'Made in Reykjavik,' will transport you with its main restaurant feature, Skál! (translated as cheers), which has taken over the space that was once Namkeen in the RiNo food hall.
The Icelandic pop-up is available through April 10.
'Made in Reykjavik' also features art exhibits, live music, and last but not least, alcohol. So, while you may not be able to travel to Iceland to see the Blue Lagoon anytime soon, you can still toss back a few Bláa lónið (Blue Lagoon) cocktails. You can also get a shot of Brennivin paired with an Einstök craft beer.
There are plenty of Icelandic goods to engage shoppers as well. Next door to the pop-up restaurant, visitors can purchase items ranging from skincare products to cozy sweaters at a pop-up retail shop.
According to Zeppelin Development’s Justin Croft and Mathieu Mudie, the goal is to provide an immersive experience that makes visitors feel like they've just stepped off a plane into a foreign country. The team even traveled to Iceland to ensure an authentic experience with all the best food, drinks, and shopping.
And if you're hoping to travel to Iceland in real life, there's hope for that as well. If you purchase food, drinks, or retail items from 'Made in Reykjavik,' you'll be entered to win a vacation to Iceland, thanks to a partnership between Zeppelin Station and Icelandair.
After 'Made in Reykjavik' has closed up shop, expect to find pop-up restaurants representing other cities at the RiNo food hall in the near future. Until then, head out to the 38th and Blake RTD station to purchase some puffins and chow down on some spicy celeriac through April 10.
