Place to eat: Absolut Ice Bar, Stockholm, Sweden

About this place:

The bar is tiny, you need to make a reservation, and they prefer if you don't linger too long. At the door you're provided with a pair of mittens and a cozy parka that makes you look like an eskimo. You then saddle up to the ice bar, order a drink that comes in a "glass" made entirely of ice, and sit down on an ice stool in front of an ice table. Be sure to hold your drink tightly to ensure it doesn't slide off the table. The Ice Bar at the Nordic Sea Hotel in Stockholm is basically an Absolut marketing gimmick, but it has unmistakable novelty appeal.
