I've never liked dancing in a club but if that's your thing, you have options here and a several places available for a late night/early morning snack when you inevitably leave the bar inebriated. If you happen to be there during hours where there is daylight, the weekends promise an even bigger variety of food with their Mad & Marked. From tacos to salads, cocktails to beer, there is something for everyone and a lot of seating. If you have friends from out-of-town, this is a good place to go to make everyone happy. It's kind of like that book you love with a mangled corners, dog-eared pages, and more than a few coffeestains. It may not look pretty but every time you revisit it, you have a great time.

Kødbyen is the hip new area in Copenhagen…read more Earlier a meatpacking district, now it's home to trendy bars and organic restaurants. The place still retains the dreary-looking buildings of the old days, but don't let it fool you. Some of the good cocktail bars and restaurants are here, and of course there's the famous beer joint Warpigs - although I'm not a big fan of it. Not only restaurants and bars, but this place hosts "Mad og Marked", a summer thing where they hold street food event every Saturday-Sunday.

So if you want to see what the interior and present status of the rooms look like, you can go into a very carefully, professionally done walk-through, which actually shows you the work in progress. It's kind of interesting. However, there are only so many photos and drawings of burnt ruins in the actual remnants of the ruins as they are now which can hold your interest. This is because I am a victim of the Internet, erosion of my patience. It's a shame. Because this exhibit was nicely done, but after about 15 minutes, it just struck me as I was looking at the ruins of a building that caught on fire. That was a real tragedy that I would much rather see the restored version of exist. Hopefully soon!

Most of the eateries don't have much room inside but in spring and summer a few tables appear outside or you could always take your food to nearby Sankt Hans Torv or Assistens Kirkegård to enjoy. There is something for everyone to eat on this street and after your stomach is full, head down to Ølbaren for some great beer or drink some sickly-sweet cocktails at Mexibar. Just be careful when walking in the road as there can be some traffic, especially a lot of bikes. There have been a few parties where the street was closed to cars; I think this area would have way more potential if that was a regular thing.
