Here is what I imagine is perhaps one of the idiotic conference-related questions ever, but as someone who has never been to Denmark and will be in Copenhagen next week for the conference, here goes: Is there a variety of things to eat besides seafood in Copenhagen. I'm allergic to seafood. Not just shellfish, but anything chemically equipped to live in salt water. Well, I don't know about mammals, but I am certainly allergic to fish like cod. Freshwater fish are fine. Please feel free to mock me behind my back, and to respond to me off list. Holly --- Holly Kruse Assistant Professor of Communication The University of Tulsa 800 S.

This site might be helpful to everyone--lots of descriptions of restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. From what I read there, you should have no trouble, Holly, finding non-seafood options.

Which site? Casey

Of course, this isn't going to help you if you're orthodox, but Danish pork is well known to be the best in the world. (And not just because I have some relatives who raise pigs there.) The Russians pay Danish farmers to teach them how to raise pigs. I kid you not. And one of the greatest, and cheapest, ways to enjoy that pork is by ordering pølse (sausage) at one of the many, many pølse stands you'll find throughout Copenhagen, and all of Denmark. They stick the sausage into a bun that has a hole drilled into it, after first filling the hole, if you wish, with ketchup, mustard or sometimes more special sauces. My kids would have gladly lived on nothing but this for the entire summer a year ago, and nearly did. On Oct 7, 2008, at 5:28 PM, holly-kruse@utulsa.edu wrote:

As a follow-up to Charlie's (the first!) recommendations ... If you enjoy art and museums, in addition to the Glyptoteket - there are three other museums to consider. The Nationalmuseet has a wonderful exhibit on Danish pre-history (I confess: I never knew the Stone Age could be so interesting), as well as a permanent collection that is more than worthwhile. The Statens Museum for Kunst is exceptional, in part thanks to the recent additions and innovations. It's also a pleasure to get to - if the weather is reasonable, you can get there from the city center by walking through the King's Garden (Kongens Have) and Rosenborg Garden (Rosenborg Have). But the utterly best: Den Hirschsprungske Samling (The Hirschsprung Collection), just north of the Statens Museum for Kunst, has a wonderful collection of Danish Golden Age art and the Skagen painters, including some of the most well-known paintings by P.S. Krøyer, Vilhlem Hammershøi, Anna Ancher, and others. Krøyer's "Sommeraften ved Skagens strand" / Summer evening on the beach at Skagen, in particular, is there - a favorite painting of many Danes (and a few of us non-Danes - smile). Not surprisingly, the opportunity to see the real thing provides experience and insight not available through the reproductions. (English website: <http://hirschsprung.dynamicweb.dk/Default.asp?ID=170>) But don't forget to attend IR 9.0! cheers, - c.

I second the Glyptotek recommendation. Worth visiting even if stripped of all the art. Grand architecture that is, as Charlie says, still somehow warm and intimate. My wife and mother tell me that the cafe is also a fabulous place to have a delicious and wonderfully civilized lunch. (I wouldn't know; I had to leave early for the Experamentarium because the kids' fascination with the Glyptotek, while real, didn't last as long as ours did.) I'd just add the suggestion that if you have the time, and are kidless, you should start on the bottom level and then work your way upward. That way, you can follow the chronology of the collection, which goes from Egyptian and Greek to Etruscan and Roman, and then from 19th through 20th century European. If you can only visit two art museums, I'd recommend Louisiana, particularly if you're into modern and cutting-edge contemporary art from around the world. Once again, the collection and exhibits are located in an absolutely gorgeous setting. The grounds are beautiful, with fascinating modern sculpture sprinkled throughout, and the cafe (with its spacious patio) looks out over the sound. Its outside Copenhagen to the north (nearly to Helsingor and its great castle), but its an easy train trip. And there's an art room for the kids. BTW, if you're doing heavy duty touring in North Zeeland (including Copenhagen, Roskilde, and Helsingor) after the conference you might want to think about getting a CPH card (24 hour and 72 hour varieties)--it gets you into lots of North Zeeland attractions for free (though not the Viking Ship Museum, Elsinore castle or the Experimentarium) and covers all bus, Metro and train travel in Northern Zeeland, which should get you darn near everywhere you're going. See the VisitCopenhagen.com site re: this. --Christian Nelson On Oct 8, 2008, at 8:31 AM, Charlie Breindahl wrote:

While in Copenhagen, try not to miss Glyptoteket, a kind of Louvre on a human scale. Built by beer magnate Carl Jakobsen, the founder of Carlsberg, and named Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in honor of his successful product, Glyptoteket is a wonder of late nineteenth century cosiness and world-class art - from ancient Egypt to modern Danish.
