Take the flybus from the airport! It is a great service, clean, reliable, and cheap.
I would say avoid taxi at all cost if you can, if you do not get a full taxi of people it will cost you a fortune compared to the flybus.
There are loads of places you can get good food from and none of it is fermented or the head of another animal. Nonnas is kinda like subway....but better, same with Hjollabattar.
Bulan is like the Mcdonalds of Iceland, there is one 2 minutes from Harpa, but there are loads of places that sell great burgers and stuff like that. You will find something you like.
Also, everyone here speaks English and everyone I have met so far is really nice, so do not be afraid to ask the locals.

No, you will be landing in and leaving from Keflav+¡k International Airport, not Reykjav+¡k Domestic Airport. I marked both airports in my map for reference. Keflav+¡k International Airport is 50 km / 31 miles from Reykjav+¡k.

And now with links & food advice.
Bus services from Keflavik airport
CCP Explorer's "Coming to Fanfest" series
Fanfest FAQ (regarding tickets etc.)
I too am a picky eater, but I've always found something in the following places (all with locations down town):
Couple of locations that are not down town, but might require reservation, get my recommendation as well; Roadhouse & Fabrikkan.
At Roadhouse the burger 'The Empire State' is my choice, and 'Animal Park' at Fabrikkan are my burgers of choice.
Plenty of bars down town double as restaurants during the day or up until 9pm. I don't expect anyone to be too upset should you ask them whether they serve food, when you're in doubt. 
If you're craving snacks or fruit, you might want to make a trip to a market (that isn't 10-11). There are two very close to the CCP office, and another in the opposing direction from downtown. CCP Explorer's map has these locations marked in!

Makoto Priano wrote:Oooh! Thanks for the map, Explorer! By the way-- when we discussed pools last, you'd mentioned Laugardalslaug as your recommendation, but I'd been eyeing Sundh+¦llin; I assume Laugardalslaug is the better facility, but Sundh+¦llin would suffice for some basic swim training? Sundh+¦llin would really not suffice. I would recommend Laugardalslaug (best) or Vesturb+ªjarlaug (fairly close by). Both are marked on my map. There is a very lovely coffee house just across the street from Vesturb+ªjarlaug to refuel.

However I have found the Laundromat cafe to be a great place to both grab a bite to eat and to meet other capsuleers. It can be a little pricey at times however it has been great every time I have eaten there and you get a lot of food for you money. It also helps that, like everyone I have met in iceland so far, the staff are nice people.
SNAPS!
Pulled pork sandwich is simply amazing!!
It is a little pricey, but it is amazing!

Thanks everyone for sharing the information and especially CCP Explorer for his 'Map of Wonders' of 'Capsulers Survival Map to Reykjavik' =)
The friend of mine advised me to visit ice lagoon Jokursarlon cause that was the most impressive sight he used to visit during his summer trip to Iceland. In addition 2 day excursion includes glacier track and Aurora Borealis watching. I am very excited =)
Can anyone say does lagoon is worth to visit March? Or the weather will ruin my impression? Or March (Spring) is not the best time to visit the lagoon? This is not an easy question, the weather in March is not predictable.
