    On my way to the library yesterday, I saw the Scandinavia House and abruptly jumped off the bus I was on. Even though I only went in to grab a few touristy pamphlets for my upcoming trip, the lobby was packed with people having lunch. And everything smelled delicious.

    So, if you miss food stuff Nordic style, this is a good place for that, too!
