Monday - Dinner Ideas
It is warm and sunny this evening, so it is a great time to eat outside. Nearby, try the Cofoco Le Marché (Østerbrogade 64, 2100 København Ø) for nordic food (about 100 DKK). Take that to the lakes, and find a spot that pleases you on the sunny side. The Dronning Louises Bridge is a popular area for locals to sit on a warm evening. You could also grab a pizza at one of the many pizza shops and take it to the lakes.Sapore D'Italia ( Blegdamsvej 41, 2200 København N) is the best pizza nearby (about 50-60 DKK). Alternately for a place with tables and servers, Cafe A, noted on the printed handout map as point C, is cheap cafe with a large outdoor seating area (60-100 DKK). In the direction of your hotel, there are many cafes and small bars along Blågårdsgade which spill out onto the pedestrian street. You can also consult the listing included with the syllabus for more ideas.

Bars are contentrated around Nørrebrogade/Blågårdsgade, City Centre, and in Vesterbro around Enghaveplads. Combinations of bars and clubs can be found in Kødbyen (Meat packing district, Vesterbro). Ask an organizer or local grad student for pointers. The map from www.drinkcph.dk is also a good guide.

(A favorite is the Davids Sammling, with historical Danish interiors and islamic world art. Open until 21:00 on Wednesday, free.)

The New York Times says that a furniture and design shop down the street from the NBI is a "Treasure of Europe". Good place for a souvenir.
