Copenhagen



This past weekend I visited my cousin in Copenhagen, Denmark.  I knew nothing about the city, except that it is an up and coming city, that within the next few years will probably be the 'new' Prague.  The men were gorgeous and well dressed, and the women managed to make bike riding look trendy and graceful!

The first day that we were there I walked around with Jacob and he took me to the Farmer's Market located right by Norreport.  The Farmer's Market is a great spot for lunch and has a wide selection of foods for every taste bud -- everything from duck sandwiches, to a hummus bar, to pizza, cupcakes and frozen yogurt.  After the Farmer's Market, we walked around to Nyhavn and then off to Christiana.  The weather was beautiful and surprisingly warmer than I had expected.

For dinner, we went to a restaurant called Tight and then we went out to a club.

Jacob suggested that we go to Kalaset for breakfast and order the blueberry pancakes.  Not only did we order the blueberry pancakes to share, but also the plain ones too! They might have been the best pancakes ever, and for those who know me as SammyCakes, they definitely beat my pancakes!  After brunch, we walked back down to Nyhavn for a canal tour, where we saw the Little Mermaid.  I was not expecting a little statue on a rock in a hidden area, but hey, I saw it! After the canal tour, we went back to Christiana, and then walked around Stroget.  Jacob made sure that we stopped in all of the best bakery's and the world's most adorable restaurant -- The Royal Cafe for an afternoon hot chocolate.

For dinner, we went to Pate Pate, which was very good and located in a cute area, filled with little restaurants.  After dinner, we watched the depressing Syracuse-Ohio State game at a bar, only to go home in disappointment.

Copenhagen is rated the city was the happiest people, and I agree.  I definitely see myself coming back to Copenhagen one day...I loved it!

Hotel Recommendation: The Ascot Hotel...great location and can accommodate up to five girls in one apartment style room!
