...sober attraction is the city's burgeoning art scene. Two new museums have recently opened: the Sculpture Garden, adjacent to the New Orleans Museum of Art; and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, in the city's warehouse district. From downtown, spend $1.25 for a 25-minute trip north on the new Canal Street cable car to the bucolic Sculpture Garden.

The toughest part is sustaining a career, and that's about choices. It's the choices...
...Snaefells to rise up from behind your wet toes. In the restaurant, 22-year-old chef Andri Johannsson cooks with a Michelin flair. Lobster bisque infused with calvados, honey-roasted catfish, and lamb that quite literally melts in your mouth are served with organic vegetables grown in the hotel garden and wild herbs picked in local lava fields. On weekends, Reyjkavik's hip set descend to drink in the views and taste the excellent minty gin-and-tonic sorbets - a palate-cleansing aperitif, and a nod to the British who occupied Iceland in 1940.
