Copenhagen!

Hi guys,

Thanks so much for all the great info about Philly and Boston. Between my schedule and the weather a day hasn't worked out yet, but it's very high on my priority list.

In the meantime, I have plans to visit Copenhagen next week. I think I'll be there the 14th and 15th.

Where should I go? Do you know of any good stores and neighborhoods?

Visit Norway! :) Go to Günerløkka in Oslo on a Sunday. Its a very nice and trendy neighborhood. Beautiful people, nice stores, music scenes and coffeshops.

You have to visit STORM at St. Regnegade 1
1110 København K, an the neighborhood surrounding it.

This vintage shop on the corner of King's garden is my absolute favorite. A full length vintage mint condition fur coat for $100. Yes please!! Kongen’s Klæ’r is the name if you can't click the link.

Finally! Storm is a must for international fashion, but I guess you should be checking out some Danish fashion instead. Krystalgade is the street where you get a good overview. There is a nice shop for ladies called Another Nue, right next to it Wood Wood and opposite from Wood Wood there is Henrik Vibskov store, which has a good selection, not only Henrik Vibskov stuff, but also other great danish designers like Wackerhouse or Stine Goya. Can't wait to see your shots of Copenhagen.

From my experience there as an exchange student, I would advice you walk in the small streets around the University, then to ride your bike to Vesterbro, and maybe finish the night in Christiania jazz club or in one of the trendy bars in the city ! But about those, I let danish people give you more specific cool adresses ;) Have fun, and thanks for your great work on this blog!

 

Blogger A fashion fool said ... (4:08 PM) : 

i would say that you should go visit the park called Øster anlæg located in østerbro. it is so beautifull.

also, visit the vintage shop - times up.

It is by far the best way to Discovery our beautiful city... You Can also take a City bike, which Can take you to areas like Elmegade (Noerrebro) or Istedgade (Vesterbro).

and if you want to see stylish students, go to holmen, there are all the art schools, architecture, design, dance, music, film, etc. otherwise the city is full of people with excellent taste spiced with a little spark of humour.

also you should walk to the playhouse, such a nice view by the canal. and good architecture.

you should rent a bike. that's the only way. have fun!

Just walking along Strøget is a marvelous experience. Noma is supposed to be the #1 restaurant in the world; I did not get a chance to eat there. The Michelin-rated Kong Hans Kælder is quite good though if you can't get a reservation at Noma.

 

Blogger Rob said ... (4:27 PM) : 

Copenhagen excels at well-curated stores. If you are in the center of the city (indre byen), then Wood Wood, Henrik Vibskov all do Nordic- and American-inspired men’s streetwear well. Outside the inner city, I’d go to Istegade in Vesterbro, Gamle Kongensvej in Frederiksberg, and Elmegade in Nørrebro.

Hints with Danish:
J’s sound like Y’s.
D’s sound like L’s when they fall in the middle or at the end of a word.

You should definetly visit Kodbyen.

You should definitely go to Christiania! And, like others already have, I would advice you to go for stores and museums with Danish design - especially furniture! Unfortunately I don't recall any museums of that kind at the moment, but maybe somebody else in here does...?

Jægersborggade, Nørrebro. Small design shops, galleries... Visit the restaurant Relæ there - the chef used to be at noma.
Kødbyen, Vesterbro. Copenhagen's meat packing district, galleries, restaurants and bars.
Sønder Boulevard, Vesterbro. A green spot with plenty of room to hang out, play ping pong and more.
Vega, enghavevej, Vesterbro. The best concert venue - all 1950s Danish architecture and interior.
Glyptoteket, centre. Lovely museum, sculptures and late 1800 / early 1900 painting.

Dear Scott,

if you can spare the time you should drive out to
the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 3050 Humlebæk. It is about a 30min drive from Central Copenhagen along one of the most beautiful Villa lined street in all of Europe.

I hope you enjoy Copenhagens inspiration and share some of it with us.

Anonymous Sebastian said ... (4:48 PM) : 

The area around the one end of Strøget (central pedestrian shopping street at the Kongens Nytorv end)) is the posh part of town. To find the more hip and bohemian looks, go to Vesterbro, especially Den Hvide Kødby - it's a still working meat packing district which has been invaded by the creatives. Full of bars, galleries and cool people. Christiania is great - hippi'ish and dodgy - but be careful walking around with a camera, mostly because the pushers selling pot tends to be a little nervous...
Bien Cache at Gl. Mønt (http://www.bien-cache.com/) is good for shoes. Storm (http://stormfashion.dk/dk/news) is located just next to Bien Cache, and is run by a true Sartorialist - Rasmus Storm. You should book a coffee appointment with him for the best tips about shops - he knows them all (and I'm sure he would be quite happy to meet you).
As other have mentioned, Henrik Vibskov and WoodWood at Krystalgade is also good spots - and Skt. Petri Hotel is located in the same street which is a great hotel (if not so cosy then very cool).
Looking forward to see your view on our little city - you couldn't have picked a better time, as spring has sprung and everybody is going out to show off after an extremely long and cold winter.

THE ART OF in Gothersgade (Between The Kings garden & Storm ) - Quite a unique store
http://highsnobiety.com/columns/plus41/2011/05/06/the-art-of/
Open 11am - 4pm sat.

XX Remember all stores are closed on Sundays - so visit Værnedamsvej on Vesterbro or Christiania/Christianshavn.

Go through The Kings garden to Statens museum or The David Collection and gaze at (or watch people gazing at) Hammershøj

Enjoy

 

Anonymous Daniel said ... (4:50 PM) : 

Definitely check out Wardrobe 19! It's a great men's story in the University part of the city!

 

Anonymous Frederikke said ... (4:50 PM) : 

If you need to rest your feet or just lie down in the sun, you could visit Kongens Have, which is a beautiful park in the city center. You should also go to Nyhavn (a little canal surrounded by 300 year old buildings). And Christiania is a must.

You could also look at this guide for more inspiration:
http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/05/copenhagen-guide.html

Looking forward to see the pictures form your trip!

Share one of their very generous-portioned soft ice cream stuffed with chocolate bonbons while strolling (I was a tourist after all) and visit any local galleries for some amazing art works. Bon voyage. (Oh, and the Louisiana Museum is lovely, too, but if you only have two days save it for the next time.)

 

Blogger Maja said ... (5:01 PM) : 

Well of course Christiania and a stroll down Istedgade. And also Nørrebro. Copenhagen is small enough to be seen in a day or two. You should also visit the kings garden - Kongens have - especially if the sun shines, it will be a living sea of human kaviar of beautiful people.

Marianne Dulong -Silkegade 5. A beautiful danish jewelry brand/ shop.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:05 PM) : 

Fantastic! To catch the Copenhagen-vibe you should; visit Nørrebro - take a walk down "Frederiksborggade" to "Nørrebrogade" when you see how the city changes -from the central part with the main street "Strøget" into a more creative and alternative environment!
When you are at the central part of Cph - go to "The Kings Garden"(Danish:Kongens have); this is defiantly the place to spot stylish-students taking a break in the sun. You should also take the Metro to "Christianshavn" where you'll find Christiania - a truely alternative place with old home-made buildings and a people with different and more peace-full mind-set ..
For a whole other part of cph visit "Frederiksberg" ! This is a hip place with a great park and beautiful old buildings - take a walk down "Frederiksberg Allé" and walk to the heart of CPH - "Vesterbro" here you will find danish shops, vintage and the old meatpacking district where young fashion-people party all night long - the place is called "Kødbyen"; in this area you'll find some of the most interesting galleries and bars.
And as in NY - walking and a nice pair of shoes will take you any where !
Hope you can you the advice, Kirsten

 

Anonymous Annika said ... (5:05 PM) : 

You should definetly go to Jægersborggade on Nørrebro. And have dinner at Geist on Kgs. Nytorv or Kiin Kiin on Nørrebro (asian cuisine with a well earned michelin star).

 

Blogger Jo said ... (5:09 PM) : 

Welcome to Copenhagen!

You might want to keep in mind that Copenhagen - like many European cities - is very quiet on Sundays, if you plan to visit on 14th and 15th. On Sundays, all the shops are closed and the city centre slows to a crawl. If the weather is nice, you'll find everyone hanging out in city parks, along the waterfront, or, well, anywhere that has sun and shelter from the wind, but if it's grim outside, make sure to find friends to visit, coz the city will be dead :-)

I second Krystalgade:
WoodWood
Henrik Vibskov
Nué
etc.

A couple of blocks around the intersection of Pilestræde and Kronprinsensgade:
Norse Projects
Storm (fun combo of fashion/design/art)
plus all the big Scandinavian brands have standalone stores in this area, such as Acne, Hope, Bruuns Bazaar etc.

Jægersborggade in Nørrebro is great. Lots of small shops doing their own labels and great place to just hang and people watch. Coffee Collective makes some of the best coffee in town. Relæ is an excellent restaurant (will require advance reservations).

If the weather is nice, Christianshavn is a great place to wander around the back streets, canals and tucked away gardens.

Our version of the meatpacking district (where they actually still pack meat) is also worth a visit, especially at night and on weekends. Lots of galleries (check out V1), restaurants (especially Fiskebaren and PatéPaté) and bars (follow the sound). Wander up Skydebanegade for Copenhagen's best ice cream (Italian inspired, of course) at Siciliansk Is and what may be the world's smallest coffee shop, Sort Kaffe & Vinyl.

You might also want to check out "Pisserenden" - our latin quarter - between Studiestræde and Skt. Peder Stræde. Risteriet is good for a quick coffee break, or hang out in front of Riccos. Tire Bouchon for good choice of wine.

Have fun and look forward to seeing the pictures!

I don't know much about clothes, restaurants or hotels in Copenhagen, although I've got the perfect café for you! It's called Granola (http://www.aok.dk/restaurant-og-cafe/granola), hipster café number one in the city, with wooden doors and a beyond retro approach. Order, not only the compulsory cup of coffee, but their smoothies. But beware, if you order something with ginger in it, you'll probably think it's too spicy. Even though I have no idea what Bagutta is (http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2010/02/bagutta-milano.html), I believe that the atmosphere and the furnitures might be similar to Granola. And don't be alarmed by the hipsters, they are not that pretentious! Enjoy your coffee.

So cool that you are coming to Copenhagen!! Walk around the City, see the harbour front (skuespilhuset). Eat lunch at Pastis in gothersgade... Take a walk in the Kings garden in the inner City! Don't miss værnedamsvej in Frederiksberg, nice place to people watch and drink coffee or a beer at the cafe Falernum! Go to Vesterbro/istedgade to see another cool part of town!! If you have time take a boat Tour (kanal rundfart) from nyhavn, it is a little bit coorny but it is a great way to see alot of good stuff!

Hope you have a great stay

Neighborhoods:
Nørrebro:
Like many others I recommend Jægersborggade and the surrounding streets, which is an amazing venue for young people to relax, drink beer, shop etc. etc. Elmegade and Guldbergsgade is also nice streets if you are looking for young people and small shops. For a coffee break you should go to KAFFEBAR on Elmegade.

Vesterbro:
The meatpacking district is great for clubbing, and there is also a very nice bar called "Dyrehaven" very close. It is very low key and a lot of young people gather together here for a beer or some traditional danish food. Istedgade is also the place to be, if you are looking for a low key bar.

City centre:
"Strøget" which the main street is very crowded mostly with tourists, and is not anything special. But the streets around Strøget is really good. You should visit Pilestræde, Krystalgade, Studiestræde(and the surrounding streets) Here you will find vintage, Henrik Vibskov, WoodWood, Weekday, HAY and much more.

Neighborhoods like Christianshavn, Frederiksberg and Østerbro are also worth a visit, but if you can rent a bike, then it is the easiest (and most copehagen'ish way) to do it.

Restaurants:
There are many great restaurants in Copenhagen. I suggest you try one of Cofocos restaurants:
http://www.cofoco.dk/index.php
It is in danish, but you can see the address of the different restaurants and get the picture of what it is :) they are all great and cheap. Otherwise try: Relæ (Jægersborggade), Madklubben Steak (Pilestræde), Ricemarket (Kultorvet) or sticks'n'sushi at the top of the tivoli hotel.

Have a great visit!

Finally!!! Copenhagen! I have been waiting for you to come since forever. All I ever hear from people visiting this place is: "where do you stash the old, not-so-good looking people?" It's a great place for your kind of photography, I would think.

I can only second what everyone else has said:
-Kødbyen for going out (in Vesterbro)
-Istedgade for strolling and checking out all the nice cafes and chilled vibes (also Vesterbro)
-Elmegade and St. Hans Torv- good shops, good people, good food (Nørrebro)
-Jægersborggade - (Nørrebro) a must-see. The street has every kind of amazing, alternative shop. There's one, Ruben & Bobby, which is a cross between a hair-dresser and an 80's gadget shop filled with Gameboys and Nintendos and weird action figures. There's a small caramel factory, good vintage stores, Coffe Collective (best coffee in town) and loads of other fun things!

I can't wait to see your pictures

Anonymous sofie said ... (7:47 PM) : 

if the weather's nice you might want to check Amager beach! In the city itself Nørrebro & Vesterbro are great, in the center there's a nice café 'Europa' (Amagertorv Strøget) and there's a lot of great shops in the area between that café and the Marimekko store (haven't got the address). HAY e.g. (Østergade 61) is a great interior store, the whole street is filled with good shops actually.
If you want to go to a real Danish place I'd say go to Café Nick (Nikolajgade) for coffee, it's not fancy at all and it's more of a place where the locals hang out (not the youth though), but they're really friendly.

ps - rent a bike & don't waist your time visiting the little mermaid!

Hi Sart.

If you wanna see a cool and true sartorial shop go to this one:
GARODKIN
Godthåbsvej 61
2000 Frederiksberg.
www.garodkin.dk
They stock some serious nice brands, such as Pal Zileri, Church's, Santoni, Corneliani, Jacob Cohen etc..
The shop is very old fashioned, (believe it's nearly 70 years old)but if you ask me this is a true gem, and is just 3 kilometers outside the very touristy Center.

All the best, enjoy CPH

You should come to our place, Paté Paté, in Kødbyn, on Saturday evening. We seem to draw a ridiculous amount of beautiful stylish people. You can sit out on our deck and shoot people all evening long, as it is now not getting dark until 9pm. Then you can drink & eat at the same time. If you let me know, I will keep a good table for you!

Sunday, hanging out on the streets of Istegade, or Blågardsgade, and even along the bridge on Nørrebrogade if it is deliciously sunny. Those are the places where I shoot the most photos of happy stylish people.

Copenhagen is an amazing city..
Come to Greece too...you will a great time..

 

Anonymous Sophie Kampmann said ... (5:04 AM) : 

As a true Copenhagener, these are my best advice:

- Vesterbro area - Enghave Plads, Kødbyen, Oenschlagergade, small bodegas and bars in the neighborhood. For dining - Mothers or BioMio
- Nørrebro - Blågårdsgade, Jægersborggade and Elmegade (streets with interesting stores, and small little designers)
- City - Try Cafe Zirup for a quick dinner, the Jane for a quick drink, and walk around - beautiful architecture!
Have a wonderful trip!!

As a copenhagener and a big fan of your blog, I would recommend you to visit Istedgade (only the end near Enghave plads), Sønder Boulevard, and Værnedamsvej for people watching, cool cafees etc.
Visit the centre (CPH K.) for beautiful historic surrondings and classic style, and Krystalgade for danish fashion design.

Hope you'll have a great time here, and enjoy the city!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:25 AM) : 

Two things.
i) I'd be weary of going to Christiania with a camera (as others have already pointed out). The locals - although cool - do not usually accept that, for obvious reasons.
ii) You should consider going to Tekinoktay Finest Lingerie on Silkegade 13. The shop - designed by owner, Evren Tekinoktay- is an apparition of boudoir-inspired coolness! Fun fact which might get the feminists going (chill out: it does not take anything away from Evren): the owner is married to famous Danish painter, Tal R.

If you have time, do cross the water and visit Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund Strait. If not for people spotting in its beautiful parks, then at least for a visit to one of the best men's clothing stores on the planet; Très Bien Shop!

I just visited Copenhagen a couple weeks ago and fell in love with the city. Christiania for me was the most interesting and fun place to be in. Walking a round and getting a glimpse of the everyday life and the architecture that you can find and experience in Christiania was amazing! I highly recommend the place if you can bare the fact that smoking weed is a big part of the Christiania culture.

I would recommend "Told and Snaps" or "Restaurant Sankt annæ" for lunch. They offer classic Danish lunch such as ryebred with herring, potatoes, or eggs.

Check http://www.toldogsnaps.dk/ or http://www.restaurantsanktannae.dk/235-in-english.htm

Hartung at Kristen Bernikows Gade 4
1105 København K is also worth a visit. They offer classic men's garment.

A trip with the cruise ships at Nyhavn is also recommendable.

If you are looking for a drink at night you should visit "The Union" at St. Strandstæde 19, Kbh. K or "1105" next to Hartung.

I'm sooo glad that you are coming to Copenhagen - You have no idea how many times I've wondered when you would make it to our beautiful city.

For relaxed dinner I would recommend Mêlée on Martens Alle (Frederiksberg) or Paté Paté (Kødbyen).

For great shops and atmosphere check out Gl. Kongevej (Frederiksberg), Værnedamsvej (Frederiksberg/Vesterbro), Istedgade (Vesterbro), Elmegade (Nørrebro).

You should definitely take time out to visit our nice and cozy parks too -especially Kongens Have and Frederiksberg Have.

Should you need a guide me and my husband would be happy to take you around :-)

More important than any neighbourhood or shop in Copenhagen are the Hammershøi paintings in Statens Museum for Kunst (the National Gallery) and Den Hirschsprungske Samling - both are in the beautiful park, Østre Anlæg.

As for shops, two vintage ones are top of my list: Décor in Israels Plads and FN92 in Larsbjørnstræde.

Right behind Israels Plads is Nansensgade, my favorite hood.

Enjoy!

I guess you could visit noma or geranium or ... as all the others do. And it is great food.

But try to eat at Fiskebaren, which is situated in the Meatpacking district. Pastis on the corner of Adelgade and Gothersgade.

But my ultimate favorite the coffee shop Granola at Vaernedamsvej. By the way, it might be the best place on earth.

These places def accelerate your impression of Copenhagen - very people and street focussed.

Have a great trip, I'm on my way to Granola.

Go to the Meatpacking district (Kødbyen) at Vesterbro - here is lots of gallerys and try Paté Paté or BioMio for a relaxing dinner or lunch (paté paté has breakfast too) the more exclusive fish restaurant and get the party startet with nice drinks and upcoming dj's at Karriere Bar, Bakken or Jolene :) Enjoy our beautiful city as much as we do.

I was in Copenhagen for one rainy day way back in 1993 and would LOVE to go back. It was a beautiful city then and I'm it's even better now. The hilite of our day was wandering into a stony square and finding Peder Oxe, where we had a really splendid lunch. It's in an old monastery. I'm told it's still exceptional and great on atmosphere. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Rule number one: Stay away from STRØGET. You will not find any people from Copenhagen there.

Start with pizza-brunch at Mother in Kødbyen (The meatpacking district).

Then walk around at Vesterbro, and there is a good vintage furniture shop at the basement in Flensborggade.
Close to a cosy coffeeshop at Enghave Plads.

If you want to shop the danish labels go to Krystalgade - Vibskov, Wood Wood osv.

For dinner you should go to Kung Fu bar - Ravsborggade (Nørrebro) or Sundvedsgade (Vesterbro).

The best bookshop (Architecture, art, design...) in Copenhagen is at the Architecture Center.

And Olafur Eliasson made an installation at ARKEN in Ishøj (outside Copenhagen). If you have the time, then do it!

Have a good stay!

Anonymous Fanny said ... (1:03 PM) : 

Finally! Oh I really hope you'll enjoy it here! You should go to all the inner city places like Pilestræde, Studiestræde and Krystalgade - but also, pay a visit to Værnedamsvej right between Vesterbro and Frederiksberg, where you'll find some great little places, fx. Granola.
And if you're in that area and have time, it's worth taking a stroll down Frederiksberg Allé. Not a lot of people there, but it's just so beautiful.
For very cool young people, go to Kødbyen (the meat packing district) saturday night.

Very excited that you are finally coming to 'my' city. There is lots to do and see.

Go to the inner city: Krystalgade for some cool Danish design stores.

Vesterbro: Check out Istedgade and the area around Værnedamsvej and Tulinsgade. There is a really cool concept store called Playtype - they sell, as the name suggests, fonts and types for you pc.

Nørrebro: Blågårdsgade and Nørrebrogade.

Also, make sure to go for a walk around the lakes. If the weather is nice, this is where people will gather (as well and in Kongens Have (the King's garden).

Oh, and prepare for tons of people on bikes. It is the way we get around. In the city centre, you can grab a city bike for free and go on a bike trip yourself (there is a 20 kr deposit which you get back once you return the bike to a stand).

Hope you enjoy Copenhagen - let us know if you need a tour of the city:)

Best,

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:46 PM) : 

You made my heart stop for a second when I read you're coming to visit our beautiful little city:)

My absolute favorite square in the entire world is 'Sankt Hans Torv' at Nørrebro. There's a great coffee shop on one of the corners called 'kaffeplantagen'. The square is packed with people during the summer, some really fashionable wearing what all the designers dictate, but there's also a lot of people with a more personal and creative style. I love sitting in the sun on the square in the summer with a coffee and people watch, there are so many beautiful people here!

From Sankt Hans Torv I would walk down Elmegade (wonderful street) and turn right. After a couple of minutes you'll get to a very old, famous and really beautiful cementary called 'Assistens' (easily recognised by the yellow wall that surrounds it). In here you find famous people such as Hans Christian Andersen - the guy with all the fairy tales:) If you walk through the cementary you'll end up at Jægerborggade which is a really fantastic street. I second all written about the street! - but hte others forgot to mention the great little café called Lyst and the far end of the street (from the cementary). My favourite bakery in the city is on this street to, 'Meyer's Bageri', try the 'hinbærsnitter' is a rapsberry cake which they will serve in heaven, that's how good they are! (Don't bye this cake any other place, they are terrible compared to Meyer's). Coffee Collective (across the street from Meyer's Bageri) just won the first place for the best coffee in Denmark. They roast their own coffee and sometimes when you pass the street, you can smell the roasted beens:)

When you, hopefully, have seen my part of town, I would also look into Christians Havn, Frederiksberg and King's Garden. I also agree with the warning of Strøget, It's very touristy and kind of boring... Copenhagen have so many better shops, neighbourhoods and things to see.

A thing us Copenhageners love is biking, I would, however, not use the city bikes, they are very old and basically a really bad excusion for bicycles. Most hotels lent out bikes, get one of these instead:)

I hope you'll have a wonderful trip to wonderful Copenhagen and I look forward to see your photographs.

Another regular follower here from Cph. Cool you're stopping by - the city is starting to shed its winter digs, so great time to visit. All xellent suggestions here: Woodwood, Norse Projects, Vibskov, Time's Up (all on the same street), Storm etc. etc. I would add Hartung (best shop for men's classic fashion with a focus on Italian stuff) and Franz Jaeger & Me, which is great for vintage time pieces and accessories.

For eats and drinks there are just so many great places to choose from - great suggestions in the other posts. Maybe check out newly opened Geist on Kongens Nytorv (King's New Square). Granola on Vesterbro (West Bridge) is great for breakfast. Coffee Collective is the best place for a cup of joe.

I could go on and on. Hope you have a great time while here and look forward to seeing shots from Cph. here on the blog.

I grew up in Copenhagen just nearby The Lakes (Søerne), and it is by far my favourite part of the city. It's basically 5 square lakes end to end dividing the city from the boroughs and the city central. And on a sunny summer's day, there's nothing like it. You will be amazed by the amount of joggers, baby prams, hipsters, (stylish!) grannies walking their dogs and bicycles surrounding these lakes.
Take a seat on of the many benches and just breathe in the city. I swear, you can feel the copenhagen spirit - it is such a wonderful breathing space. And I would personally LOVE to see your pictures from my favourite spot on earth! They are going to be fabulous! OMG, I can't wait.

i studied abroad there- try to catch one of the folk kitchens at one of the punk kitchens or art collectives. blagardsgade is a good pedestrian street. there is a cafe called props, a record shop, and on the corner of blagardsgade and korsgade is a cafe where they serve folk kitchen food. also check out Bolsjefabrikken, an art collective/community space in outer norrebro, along with Ungdomshuset which serves a great vegan brunch sundays around 11am.
then some of my favorite bars/cafes included underwood ink (Læssøesgade 11) also in norrebro. and cafe retro in the city center (Knabrostræde 26) and on jaeggersbrogade. and then frederiksbergs flea market is one of the best!
in general, i would check out norrebro and vesterbro. the city center is alright but it is super touristy.

Also Elmegade at Nørrebro is worth a visit like many of your fans already suggested.

Sunday: You can take the metro to Ørestad to see some of the coolest arcitecture in northern Europe.
If the weather is nice go to Nyhavn and at the end of that area: Skuespilhuset (national scene for plays). People hang out there in the sun looking chilled out and funky at the same time.

Kafferiet at Esplanaden has got the best coffee and is a really nice little spot-Princess Mary likes to get her coffee there.

I recommend Madklubben in St. Kgs. gade for great food at a reasonable price.

Kongens have is absolutely the most beautiful park in Copenhagen-often very well-dressed people at the picturesque playground and there is an old castle built by one of Denmarks most famous kings-Christian the 4.

Also well-dressed people at Danmarks Design skole and "Diamanten"-Det kongelige bibliotek.

Stores: Wood Wood, Normann Cph. Moshi Moshi. Best Behaviour do not have a store, but their clothes are fabulous and so comfortable that you want to wear it all the time.

Art: Sara Stilling does striking paintings and drawings.
Statens museum for kunst-Museum of modern art-at Kongens have.

Most of this stuff is downtown. But Østerbro and Hellerup have a lot of elegant people to look at.

You find the shop on the main bus lines (1A, 15), next to the idyllic "finger lakes". Here you will find rare men brands and superb quality. Classic and modern cuts for young fashion lovers (and older).
