    Copenhagen's new culinary hot spot!

    In this weekend's Travel section of the New York Times:
    http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/10/02...ravel&emc=tda3

    Randi, have you been here? If so, what did you think?
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Funny you should ask, I just went there for the first time today. It used to be an open green market where you could go and buy cheap veggies and fruit from lots of stalls - and flowers out front. The people who used to run it, were all working class danes. I remember going there with my mom when I was little.

    Now it has tuned into an exclusive deli market, it seems. Hardly any green grocers there, yet. The foods they have is yummy, though - if you have the money! One stall was selling nuts, and yes, they had pecans... $5,40 for a 100 grams!

    You can see more pics here:

    If you click on some of the links you'll see pictures from the inside.

    It looks like a wonderful place - something for everyone, it seems.

    Wow, I'm tempted to book a flight to Copenhagen just to try out that coffee shop!

    All too often it seems that's the down-side when this kind of place comes into being.. They have fabulous food, but for the most part it' too expensive for ordinary folks to afford. I hope you'll be getting some local farmers and vendors in there soon.

    I'll check out your other links later when I have a bit more time. Thanks, Randi!
