"A Meyer-shaped bakery-café and part of the new food hall, led by a head baker and executive chef trained in Copenhagen; it will bake sourdough, rye, and pastries throughout the day, including soft spiced cardamom swirls filled with marzipan and cinnamon, and offer open-faced rye sandwiches topped with options like potatoes and crispy onions or seasonal crab and asparagus. Many menu items emphasize vegetables, though the bakery will use butter despite early plant-based promises." - ByBecky Duffett
"Amalienborg Palace is the official residence of the Danish royal family and features a museum and the changing of the guards at noon." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Amalienborg Palace When you think of a royal palace, you usually think of one set building. In Copenhagen 's case there are actually four distinct buildings which surround a large central square. Why four? Apparently, because it was originally inhabited by four noble families. Only, when Christiansborg Palace burnt down in 1794 the royal family needed a new place to live. For the king and queen, it wouldn't do to live in the same palace lesser nobility had previous inhabited. The solution? Acquire all four noble houses and turn them into a super-palace. While the Queen still uses some of the buildings as her winter residence, others are open to the public or converted into a museum. This is also a fantastic spot to see the changing of the guard, and for a slice of history head to the corner facing the fountain (and opera house). Looking back into the square, you'll see a small patch of damaged stucco. That patch is an un-repaired piece of the palace that illustrates blast damage from WWII."
