Reykjavik is quite walkable. If you are anywhere in the center of the city (near the Cathedral, Harpa, waterfront, or shopping area it won't be far away. Their hours are on their website (yes, they are open late)

Sixt is one of the agencies that are strongly recommended AGAINST on the TripAdvisor forum for Iceland and I try to warn folks against here. There are some very good agencies there and some very bad ones and a bunch in the middle

So you know, there are icebergs at Jokulsarlon in Iceberg. Easily reached on a 2 day tour from Reykjavik (it's about a 7 hour drive, one way) if you ever chose a land vacation in Iceland.

Troll is regularly recommended on the Iceland board at Tripadvisor

THIS. Porter Airlines flys to EWR from downtown Toronto. SO convenient and comfortable and easy to do.

If you end up with an obstructed view ticket, you can usually find a standing room location behind the grandstand. They also DO mark REALLY obstructed tickets as such, so if you are directly behind a pole, just a row or two, you will know in advance. If you are 3-10 rows behind and it is in line with Home Plate or the mound you might be disappointed. Middle of Grandstand rows is rarely obstructed, same with first 3 rows or so as the pillars themselves are a few rows back Avoid sections 6-12 and the box seats in front of them in Right Field as they face the Center Field wall and you have to crane your neck 90 degrees to see the action Tell us the opponent and date, not hard to predict how big the crowd will be. Tampa on a Tuesday is different than St. Louis on a Sunday. With the new pitch clock, game length should be shorter. 3 hour games are probably the outside expectation with 2:45 or so the average I anticipate

Can you tell us what else you HAVE done so we don't waste your time suggesting things you have already done?

And never expect NYC hotels to open on time. It is rare that they do.

What's your budget? What kind of food? What neighborhood? SO many options and we've been to NYC over 50 times in the past 10 years, should be easy to come up with the right choice for you

been there, thanked my substantial gluteous maximus for no injury but to my dignity

Yes. We've done this a dozen times. A few of those times we've been told "no" but the next place was always happy to do so for a Mr. Hamilton or two

Shuttle bus to one subway line to another subway line is a Three Seat Ride

Skim the board, you will quickly see a dozen similar threads about parking at the MCT. Never a problem to park there or right next door.

Puffin tours that only take you to water sightings are less interesting than ones where you see them on land, because in the water you don't get to see their brightly colored feet and you just don't get as close to them as you do on land. I'd suggest Vigur island from the above list, if you can't get a tour to Latrabjarg, which we thought was by far the best place to see Puffins, having also seen them on Vigur, near Vik, and on a boat tour out of Reykjavik. Other folks swear by the East fjords or Westman Island, but we haven't been to those places in the right season

Exactly. Our photo album has FAR too many pictures of me standing knee deep in Antarctic water.

You might want to find a friend who has done one of these trips instead of bumping all these old threads back up to the top. Or collect your questions into a new post and put that on the board to get answers from the entire community

We enjoyed our Vigur trip. Nice boat ride, good hike, a bit of learning, and yummy pastry!

Pretty slim. Now, if there are other deaths on that ship between now and May, it might be worth worrying. But ONLY if there are other deaths.

preseason games are always fast, but yes, regular season games should be 30 minutes or so shorter this year

A number of the rental agencies have locations in downtown

Claims of sights in May thru August make me scratch my head

1) If you can tell us where these locations are we who know the cities can opine as to the convenience of each 2) All depends on what you want to do and who you are (2 couples in their 20s? 50s? 80s?). Active tours (kayaking, etc), hiking, leisure activities (spas, etc). Or we can give generic advice. Suggest you do a little research before replying to see what your options are and what YOU want to do, not what WE think you should do.

Saga and Troll are regularly recommended. The TripAdvisor Iceland forum has excellent advice. If you post there be more specific about what you want to see and do. As @edinburgher suggests, Isafjordur has VERY few resources as it is a small town quite apart from most of the country

one other hack is Happy Hours (or as they call it in Iceland "Appy hours"), where drinks in bars/restaurants are half priced or other deals, where the prices are much more reasonable.

I have read this before but I have never seen evidence of better shows because of it beyond anecdotal "one offs".
