Copenhagen May 2013

/cc @lstoll @sr @vangberg

Drive up on the 12th, stay a week, and drink all of the Mikkeller beer.

Potential accommodation.

[vangberg]

Count me in. Except for the driving, obviously.

[dylanegan]

OK. I have us set up for http://noma.dk on the 15th so @vangberg can join us.

[vangberg]

Cocktails:

Salon 39 - classy place, really good cocktails and chatty bartenders. Food is supposed to be good as well. My fav cocktail place - http://www.salon39.dk/

Vibes Apotek - super cheap and dirty, laughing gas in balloons on the side. Best to go early. - http://www.vibes-apotek.com/

…there are some other good ones I've forgotten atm.

Mikkeller is opening a new bar in Nørrebro in March as well.

Food:

Noma - doin' that.

Smørrebrød (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d) - we didn't do this last year, but really should have. Several options - http://www.restaurantschonnemann.dk/ is a classic.

Pluto - new place, will probably go there before May, but it should be really good. 12 servings, 55 EUR - 20 servings, 90 EUR. Family style servings like Manfreds. http://www.restaurantpluto.dk/en/menu/

Oysters & Grill - cheap and simple. Selection of sea food and nice, simple steaks. http://cofoco.dk/oysters.php

Nam Nam - this place is awesome. Singapore kitchen. The hangroasts are to kill for. http://restaurantnamnam.dk/en/menukort/

And if you're up for it / weather permits, we could go sailing for a day. Got myself this boat last year:

:+1: Dying to go back and down for all the things including sailing. It's been like 5 years since I've been on a :boat: though.

I am in Italy till the 8th. The drive is about 10 hours back to Brussels. So getting to Berlin on the 12th should work (and get some :herb: on the way). It's looking like I'll be able to borrow my Mum's car for a while too so we wouldn't have to worry about renting. It's a two seaters though so no room for CPH group road trip.

[norbert]

/cc myself

[jeniferduke]

What are we doing for housing in Copenhagen? How long is everyone there for? I guess I'll be flying in on 5/13 from Berlin since my reservation is for 5/14 at NOMA.

[lstoll]

Not sure I'm going to do a week, just want to do noma and maybe a couple of days after that.

[lstoll]

So @codenamejac and I will be up from the 12th until the 16th I now, I'd say.

[dylanegan]

@thedukeofsf considering there are others in your group it might be best to book accommodation. I'm not sure of my dates yet, but I'm hoping to be there from the 12th for around a week since Copenhagen needs more exploring this time around.

[vangberg]

What time is our reservation for Noma? Going to Bruce Springsteen gig the night before, need to adjust the amount of alcohol involved according to Noma.

[sr]

lol

[vangberg]

Y U DRUNK???//

[lstoll]

Holy shit, are there still tickets on sale for this?

Also, I'd assume the reservation would be early evening, but @dylanegan knows for sure.

[dylanegan]

@vangberg I believe it is 19:00. The table will be @sr, @lstoll, @vangberg, @codenamejac, @norbert, @dannygreg and me. So we still have one space available. If anyone knows anyone that may be interested...

[vangberg]

@lstoll Pretty sure Springsteen is sold out.

19.00 is perfect.

I want to try this place as well, by the way - https://www.facebook.com/JapaneseCuisineIssa/photos_stream

[dylanegan]

Final spot for our table went to @foca.

Will start looking at accommodation today. I am thinking about also just staying until the 16th, but that might change next week.

[vangberg]

Oh, @foca is in Europe? Awesome!

[sr]

@dylanegan last year's airbnb

[foca]

@vangberg :heart: YES :D

[dylanegan]

@vangberg what are beaches like in Copenhagen in May? Swimmable? Worthwhile to stay near one?

[vangberg]

@dylanegan http://www.dmi.dk/dmi/index/danmark/havobservationer.htm - those are temperatures in C. So, basically no.

[foca]

I dunno, I see a place with a whoopin' ELEVEN degrees. I'm bringing my swimming shorts.

(I already have them on my suitcase)

@vangberg What about just for hanging out? Even if it's with jeans and long sleeves drinking on the sand with fresh coastal air is still pretty awesome.

[dannygreg]

Fuck yeah beach. What are the best options for accommodation folks? I don't know Copenhagen at all.

[vangberg]

@sr Amager Strandpark is cool for hanging out, Possibly Halvandet as well. And Islands Brygge is a really nice place at the harbour. We'll do some beach hangout.

@dannygreg If not doing Airbnb, it depends on your price range. But as usual, locals don't know shit about accommodation. I'll ask somebody.

[vangberg]

@foca Warmer than the Atlantic, eh?

[sr]

@dylanegan Head up on the 12th still yeah?

[dylanegan]

@sr yeah.

I've still yet to find an airbnb since all requests have been rejected. We might have to opt for smaller airbnb's/hotels.

[dannygreg]

I figure I'll get a hotel from the 12th.

[foca]

Does NOMA have a dress code? And, if so, where the hell do I rent a suit / tux in Copenhague, @vangberg? 'Cause I'm not traveling with a suit, and cargo pants and a t-shirt might not satisfy their dress code :P

[dylanegan]

You might be forgetting that you'll be dining with @lstoll and myself. If they don't accept comfortable then I will be upset.

[lstoll]

I'm planning on Jeans / T-Shirt / Hoodie / probably thongs, but maybe shoes if the weather is super shit.

[foca]

So apparently NOMA doesn't have a dress code. Thongs for everyone!

[dannygreg]

I've booked a room at the "Radisson Blu Scandinavia" which seems right by Noma although I don't know Copenhagen at all.

[dylanegan]

@dannygreg do you have any food allergies?

[dannygreg]

Nope.

[dylanegan]

OK. I have done the final confirm for our noma reservation. If anyone pulls out at this point it'll cost you 1500 DKK unless you find someone else.

[foca]

Hola Copenhagen.

@vangberg please vote in favor of adopting the euro next time. I don't like having 5 different currencies on me, thank you very much.

[dylanegan]

@foca beer?

[foca]

Yes.

@vangberg, wanna join us?
