Blågårdsgade

Blågårdsgade at Nørrebro is one of my favourite places in Copenhagen. There are some really nice shops and cafés and generally a really good vibe.

Mayol is a cute little shop with girly things for your home. The café/bar next to Mayol, Props Coffee Shop is the place you go when you need a beer or a cup of coffee combined with a long talk with your best friend, a new friend or just the paper. All of the furniture is second hand, which gives a nice feeling to the place.

Harbo Bar is a rather new café at Blågårdsgade, but there are no problems getting customers when you've got good coffee, warm apple cider and nice bartenders.

Café N (as in Nørrebro) serves cheap, well-tasting vegetarian food - and it's a nice place too! It's a small place, but people are already starting to sit outside.

In the middle of Blågårdsgade you'll find Blågårdsplads. In winter there's iceskating, in summer football and flea markets.

Nørrebro

I live very close to where Nørrebro meets Frederiksberg, but I spend more time at Nørrebro than at Frederiksberg. Maybe I need to change that and find my way around in a new part of Copenhagen, but this is a tribute post to Nørrebro!

Goodbye winter

Melting ice in beautiful Copenhagen. Now we're just waiting for the spring to come.

Call God

In this phonebooth at Blågårdsgade, Nørrebro, one can call Gud = God. Isn't that amazing?

Optician's window again

At Vesterbro. I hope you can see the glasses in the back to make clear that this IS at an optician. The picture makes me wanna have popcorn.

Favourite bike-mender at Nørrebro

This is the best bike-mender* I know in Copenhagen. It is located at Blågårdsgade, Nørrebro. The fixed my unfixable bike, and I will be grateful forever! And they have a nice-looking shop too :)

* I really hope this is a word. My dictionary says so, but I never heard it before. I still kinda like it :)

Opticians' windows: toilet paper

This optician was obviously not out of toilet paper.

Opticians' windows: beer cans

This window exhibition is pretty complicated. Crumpled beer cans and a sign saying "What is Møller drinking?", refering to a Danish saying: "Hvad drikker Møller - øller!": "What is Møller drinking? - beer!". Even though it is mostly difficult to explain a joke, I will try: When yelling "Møller" in a place that gives echoes, one will hear the echo "øller". Hah-hah.

Optician windows

During my walks in Copenhagen, it has come to my attention that opticians' windows are very inventive and humorous. Therefore I will now start a series about it on this blog. These pictures are from a pasta-loving optician located very clear to the city hall square in Copenhagen:
