In Home Alone, the McCallister family orders pizza from Little Nero’s Pizza. That place is fictional, but Easy Street Pizza in Park Ridge, Illinois, made it a reality for December.

Located just northwest of Chicago, Easy Street Pizza is one of my favorite pizza spots. For the holiday season, though, I followed the lead of the McCallister family, enjoying Little Nero’s pizza — although I didn’t order ten of them.

The transformation to Little Nero’s Pizza includes Home Alone-themed dishes, including Kevin’s Fried Chicken Mac and Cheese and toasted ravioli, Kevin’s homemade sundaes, Wet Bandits Hot Chocolate and more. They even have Little Nero’s pizza boxes for carry-out and delivery. Of course, you could still order off the regular menu. I usually get the shredded chicken pizza, but I couldn’t resist joining the fun.

Home Alone does have a Chicago-area connection, as some of it was filmed just north of Chicago. Easy Street did a fantastic job of bringing Home Alone back to the area.

Uncover the Beauty of Blue Lagoon’s Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll in Iceland

If past trips to Iceland have focused on Reykjavik and nearby sites such as the steamy waters of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon, you may not be familiar with this iconic destination’s other hotel address: Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll, centrally located in an isolated mountain range in the country’s mountain region. It was named for a mythical giantess transformed to stone by the rays of the rising sun, and the resulting 82-foot pillar of volcanic rock still stands as both a reminder of the sun’s might and a powerful argument for sleeping late.
