A bar is a playground for grown-ups. A place where you can meet new playmates, taste the sweet nectar of intoxicating juices, take time off to enjoy life with your closest of pals, and on occasion enjoy the chance of entangling your reproduction organs in other people’s warm orififi and bodily fluids. The playground swings

Skankynavia: Nikolaos Strangas Cakeaway (CPH)

by Anders

My neighbourhood is changing rapidly these days– for the better. The whole block used to be really sad, shopping-wise. A nasty old bakery with day-old bread, Christian-sects’ offices, and three different Thai “massage” parlours (last year a war broke out between them, and the hookers smashed each other’s glass windows with bricks every night, what

Skankynavia: Foodshop No. 55 (CPH)

Last night there was a big snow storm here in Copenhagen. At some point I looked out the window and saw huge lightning flashes across the horizon. Never experienced this combination before, it was beautiful and intense.

And so due to all the sudden snow everything is moving in a snow-slow pace. Most planes out

by Anders

Being a single gay nerd means the only sausage you’re gonna get is down at the hot dog stand.

Eating a ho tdog is part of being Danish– or at least it used to. The fast food army of America and the growing health awareness has overturned the old wiener kingdom, and now eating a hot

PREFACE Tivoli Eating Aesthetics, Part 1: Munchin’ in the Dark

Oh what sweet temptations lie there in the window, luring you in, exploding like fireworks in your braincells and making you feel… giddy.

Fall has reached Copenhagen, the leaves are clogging the streets, days are getting shorter and darker and my sugar addiction has reached new levels.

Skankynavia: Tivoli Eating Aesthetics, Part 1: Munchin’ In The Dark (CPH)

by Anders

tivo15

If you heard anything about Denmark you might have heard of Tivoli, a big entertainment garden planted directly onto the epicentre of Copenhagen. It was opened in 1843 and has since then been built out, refined, and in some ways demolished (but that’s a whole different story). I

Packaging Whore: Agnes Cupcakes (CPH)

by Anders

A cupcake is like generic sex.

Looks like an ok fun party from the outside, but when you dig in, it’s dull, sticky and in the end it just makes you wanna throw up.

Right now, you’re probably thinking “Oh no, not another cupcake post. Weren’t cupcakes something that belonged to

My mom went to Paris and all I got was this lousy Edible Paper. Being a fan of everything fake and pink I had to give this a try.

Everyone across the world is probably constantly wondering: How do those French supermodels keep so beautiful
