Penelope from Copenhagen

I go by the name of "Penelope Diamante" as a writer, as it is as international as I am...! I am though known with different names online - one being Penny D Photo, for my photography- and my digital footprint is now impossible to erase!

Whammy Bar Copenhagen

Cozy hidden bar

"Whammy Bar is a real hidden gem in Amager! Cozy all-day café & bar with a very local vibe, pop-art style and great cocktails. Better go early for a table!"

In the least expected area in Amager, mainly residential, pops out this all-day coffee place AND bar! Whammy is the pride of the locals and not many visitors know about it as it is also a big hidden and tiny.

On a Friday or Saturday evening better go early if you want a table — not much space for standing and only 3 spots at the bar! Very cozy, in pop art colors and style (even the bathroom!), special cocktails and nice coffee too!

Music of acquired taste, but certainly 'local atmosphere' and vibe. They also have a 'coffee card', which means if you get 9 coffees, the 10th is free! Definitely worth a visit for a fancy cocktail in the heart of Amager!

Tutten

As Danish as it gets

"Tutten" in Copenhagen has probably the best smørrebrød in town. Some of the city's restaurants are good but nothing comes close. A truly Danish experience

Prag

Add glamour to your life

"Prag" Copenhagen is a shop where you can get custom-made jewellery and second-hand clothes, but it's my favorite place to shop for tights!

Bo-bi Bar

Beers and hard boiled eggs

"Bo-bi Bar" is allegedly Copenhagen's oldest brown bar. Everything about it feels authentic. I like their old tradition of serving hardboiled eggs...

Amager Records

Music on vinyl

"Amager Records" is my favorite record store on my island in Copenhagen. Small and cramped as it should be, the super-helpful owners are also jazz fans!

Falafel Factory

Falafel in a new way

"Falafel Factory" Copenhagen is my new favorite Midde-Eastern takeaway restaurant and falafel joint! This guy, Sappa, is actually the best - title and all.

Mojo Blues Bar

Got the blues?

"Mojo" in Copenhagen is one of my favorite places for a late-night blues gig. It's a truly perfect old-school funky bar with an attitude, and it's tiny!

The Moose

Always a good visit

"The Moose" is a bar where no one takes anything too seriously. I always find it's a friendly bar with a rough attitude, so go drink yourself silly!
