Description:
The English translation for this place means "without sorrows." Should you have any sorrows, you can drown them in your beer here, in a cafe sheltered in a house from 1796. The draft beer flows freely throughout the day in the cafe's antique interior, with its subdued lighting and fresh flowers. Don't come here expecting grand cuisine, or even a menu with any particular variety. This place has thrived for 150 years selling beer, schnapps, and a medley of smørrebrød that appeal to virtually everyone's sense of workaday thrift and frugality. With only about 50 seats, the joint is likely to be crowded around the lunch hour, with somewhat more space during the midafternoon. Everything inside reeks of old-time Denmark, from the potted shrubs that adorn the facade to the well-oiled paneling that has witnessed many generations of Copenhageners selecting and enjoying sandwiches. Between two and four of them might compose a reasonable lunch (sandwiches, not Copenhageners!), depending on your appetite. You'll find it in the all-pedestrian shopping zone, in the commercial heart of town.

Bring some Lipitor and tuck into the fabulous pork rind

I wondered into the traditional Danish restaurant on the second night of a 3-week trip to Copenhagen. People tend to be a bit nervous at first when I walk into a restaurant alone, as...
