midnight, that's kind of early to go out.


It's true. Copenhagen is a REALLY late-night city. Riding my bike home at what seemed like the ungodly hour of 3:30am this Saturday to find the streets full of people and some bars too full to get seats made me finally accept that if you only visit Denmark for a short period, you might as well stay on Seattle time. The New York Times (ok, I am a little obsessed with reading the paper on-line. btw, did anyone read that great article in the June 1 mag about the Pakistani activist lawyer, Ahsan? Really good.) featured a short article about Copenhagen bodegas a few weeks ago and the journalist weas right on. They are sort of like the plaza--the place where all types meet. That one is the Bo-Bi Bar, darling little trap that is so small it is still legal to smoke in there. (Photo: Jakob Dall for The New York Times)

At bobi-bar they will through you out if you talk in your cell phone. That is a no-no!
There are hundreds of bodegas around the city. Especially out in the former working class neighborhoods. Sometimes one on each corner of the intersections.
