Selected as one of our Best Places to Go for 2025, it is the largest island in the world, roughly a quarter the size of the continental United States, but with a small population of approximately 56,000. It's also the planet’s least densely-populated country. About 80% of Greenland is covered in ice, and the majority of the nation’s inhabitants live along its western coast.

RESERVE A TABLELocated just a stone’s throw from the Village gondola, Vulcania is the brainchild of siblings Michael and Bryan Voltaggio of Food Network fame. Serving up comfort food inspired by authentic Italian cooking, the menu is filled with timeless classics and a playful nod to a childhood favorite, Voltaggi-o’s, which is served with tomato gravy and a giant meatball. The cocktail list is a combination of old standbys like Italian highballs, spritzes (try the Palmer spritz), and martinis.

The Stove is a Mammoth classic with constant weekend lines of people waiting to have diner-style breakfasts. The line is worth getting in though—the country breakfasts, like the Sierra Sunrise, a skillet with eggs, potatoes, ham, and bell peppers, and the cinnamon french toast are fantastic. It’s in a house with a sprawling front porch on Old Mammoth Road that goes hard on the country theme, with farmhouse signs and rooster tchotchkes spread throughout the restaurant.
