Best Hangover Cure: “The Hangover Killer” at Prikið

When you find yourself stumbling out of bed with a skull-splitting headache and a deep abhorrence of everything and everyone, look no further than Prikið for the perfect remedy. Despite there being a significant chance that the café/bar/hip-hop haven contributed to your hangover in the first place, any hard feelings are patched up by their back-to-back winner, The Hangover Killer. This heaven-sent meal comes complete with a hangover sandwich (ham, cheese, bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce, and garlic dressing), a Jack Daniels infused ‘Bruce Willis milkshake’ and a tablet of Treo painkiller. Working together, this ensemble provides you with a Hangover Holy Trinity: greasy food, the hair of the dog, and a doctor-recommended analgesic. Once you break out of your subsequent food coma, you’ll find yourself ready to go out and do it all over again.
