Just steps out our door, Auto knows it's the cool spot in the neighborhood, but in a way that just makes you want to hang out more. Our favorite spot to meet up with friends for gløgg – mulled wine – or a burger any time of day or night.

"Toast" is Danish for grilled cheese, and these guys make some damn good grilled cheese, other snacks, and have great beer on draft. One of the most happening spots in town on weekend nights.

Sidecar is a gem. Tucked on a side street of Rantzausgade, it looks like the most beautiful restaurant but works like café, with prices to match – great breakfast and lunch plates for cheap, and you can sit all day on the laptop. The perfect place to stumble to on an early morning.

The busiest restaurant on the block is not the grilled cheese bar, or the hip candlelit spot across the street, it's Ma'Ed, a delicious and affordable Ethiopian restaurant. If you don't know Ethiopian food, think one big pancake sort of thing, with a dozen different vegetable and meat stews in individual piles on top. Enjoy with your hands! Always a diverse crowd in age and background.

In the hotly contested race for best – and best cheap/late night – falafel and shawarma, we vote Take & Eat as the current champion. It's great. It's cheap. It ain't glamorous, but this is the true Copenhagener style.

Sightseeing
Blågårdsgade is "the meet up street" for 20- and 30-something Copenhageners because of the long line of hip bars with year-round outdoor seating (and blankets available year round, as well).

Jægersborggade is Copenhagen's textbook example of gentrification: what was full of drug pushers in the early 2000s was settled by avant garde artists and, now, all of the most chic restaurants, design shops, and galleries. A must-stroll in Nørrebro.

Another street packed with hip bars and places to hang out – as well as a few beautiful antique and vintage stories, which get less-curated and more affordable the further away from Nørrebrogade you go.

The mid-range grocery store, with everything you need for a little bit more than you'll pay at Netto. Our default for that reason, and because it's just at the end of the block!

A grocery store full of dirt cheap things just past their expiration dates from other stores – including lots of vegan and GF stuff, plenty of Meyer's products, and lots more. Very CPH left. ;)
