Neighborhoods
Laugavegur is the main shopping street in central Reykjavík. Next to Laugavegur is Skólavörðustígur that is also a shopping street. From Laugarvegur comes Bankastræti and when you walk past Lækjargata you go down to Austurstræti. All these streets are full of restaurants and stores you might like. I can't think of any that I would not recommend.

JOE & THE JUICE

A very famous hot dog booth where former president Bill Clinton got an Icelandic hot dog. They are the best in town. I recommend having a hot dog with everything, that is chopped onion, fried onion, mustard, ketchup and "remolaði" which is a mayonnaise based sauce with relish.

They offer great noodle soups that are thai and Icelandic inspired. They are easy to adjust to your liking and pretty affordable with fresh ingredients. My fav is D - Coconut noodles and G - Noodles for the soul, which is not a soup but a bit sweet with soya.

Thanks and apologies
Icelanders are very straight forward and don't spend too much time on talking in a some kind of manner. They find more manners in smiles and trying to be helpful. What we usually are using as to be polite is only:
Thank you (when you are taking something, leaving a store or anything) : Takk or Takk fyrir
After you eat, you say: Takk fyrir mig
If you need to pass someone or get someones attention: Afsakið
Apologizing: Afsakið and fyrirgefðu
