Griffenfeldsgade

Griffenfeldtsgade, I hope you stay as you are, a mix of all I just love about Nørrebro.
The part of the street near Nørrebrogade is called Somalia Street, because of the many Somalian shops and service businesses. Fridays after prayer is always a big traffic jam, when a big part of the Somalian community go here to shop for the weekend.
In this part of the street you also find Café Nørrehus. It’s a old traditional Danish bar. Every street at Nørrebro used to have at least one of this bars. Where the men from the working class could go and drink beer in their working clothes and for a cheap money.
In the street you can also find more modern locations for drinking, and near Rantzausgade you can visit a microbrewery and a ping pong bar. This part of Griffenfeldtsgade near Åboulevarden is very busy with traffic. Here you also find a decent bakery, a Seven 11, a dry cleaner and Solidaritetshuset (a left wing community house).
In the middle of the street it joins up with Folkets Park. Here you can find all the joys of life at the street (please read my review of Folkets Park).
You eat well at Griffenfeldtsgade. You can visit Scrapetta (Italian), Ayuttaya (Thai), Ma’ed Ethiopian, and a lot of other different possibilities for eating. In the last year’s Griffenfeldtsgade have got some restaurants, that do not fit in, because they are not a part of the traditional Nørrebro. They just free ride on the vipe of the street and bring hipsters to my hood.
