Because I had just gotten my bike (Yay!) and my iPhone (double Yay!) I was all about taking new adventures around the city this weekend. On Friday Kyle, Teddi and I set out to go to one of the free Art Galleries in Osterbro. When we entered, the concierge was somewhat confused but told us to go on back to the party. We were even more confused when we went back and found ourselves in the middle of a classy award ceremony with tons of free appetizers, champagnes and desserts. So we did what any poor college students would do… blended in and ate! We fit in by clapping and laughing when the rest of the crowd did. Here is a picture I slyly snapped of Teddi and Kyle. Cheers to free food!
After we went to Kastellet, an old fortress shaped as a star that used to guard the entrance to the Copenhagen port. It dropped about 10 degrees while we were there and almost froze on our bike ride back home!
Saturday, I called and made reservations for Café Petersborg, a traditional Danish restaurant hidden in Indre By. Kate, Andrea and I rode our bikes because it was sunny out (don’t be deceived sun doesn’t mean warm!) On our way we passed Rosenborg Castle and the guards were marching by. We all leapt off our bikes and almost killed ourselves to get pictures in time.
Although Café Petersborg is small it is actually quite famous. Hilary Clinton chose to eat there when she was only in Copenhagen for one day. It was my first official Danish meal and was absolutely delicious! We decided to get a ton of different Smørrebrøds and share. Smørrebrød consists of one slice of rye bread, typically topped with fish, but they put anything on it. The most famous is the pickled red herring which most people have their own opinion about, they love it or they hate it. My favorite Smørrebrød was the fried brie with blackcurrent jam. Yum!
After we took a short ride through beautiful Nyhavn, where my mom and cousin, Kim, will be staying when they visit. I think it is the most beautiful part of the city.
Sunday it was time for…
