'''[http://cph.dk/CPH/UK/MAIN/ Copenhagen Airport]''' ({{IATA|CPH}}), also known as '''Kastrup''', is the busiest [[At the airport|airport]] of the [[Nordic countries]], located on the island of [[Copenhagen/Amager|Amager]]. Beside [[Copenhagen]], the airport also serves [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], as both are linked via the Øresund Bridge.
The '''East Village''', east of the [[Manhattan/Greenwich Village|Village]] on [[Manhattan]], was traditionally considered part of the [[Manhattan/Lower East Side|Lower East Side]], and constitutes the portion north of Houston St., south of 14th St., and east of Broadway. Although increasingly gentrified, with former crack dens that are now modern apartments so hip you can't afford them, it remains an ethnically diverse area of students, young professionals, immigrants, and older longtime residents. This colorful neighborhood is full of good values in food as diverse as its population, and there's always something happening on St. Marks Place, 24/7.
Copenhagen is not only the main airport for the densely-populated Øresund region, but also the main air transportation hub for Scandinavia, the main hub for the joint Danish-Swedish-Norwegian carrier SAS Group, and one of Europe's major hubs. There is a large number of intercontinental connections to Copenhagen, as well as a dense network of short-haul connections from Copenhagen to destinations throughout all of Europe, especially the Nordic countries.
East of 1st Av., encompassing the area from Av. A to the East River, is a sub-neighborhood often called '''Alphabet City''' or '''Loisaida''' (Spanglish for "Lower East Side"); Av. C's alternate name is "Loisaida Avenue." Parts of Alphabet City still have a Hispano-Caribbean feel, especially on Avs. D and C, but since most of Alphabet City is similar to the rest of the East Village now (diverse, somewhat gentrified, stylish), the separate designations are less used than was the case 2-3 decades ago. The area between Broadway and 3rd Av./Bowery, on the other hand, is sometimes called '''NoHo''', for "North of Houston St." by analogy to [[Manhattan/SoHo|SoHo]] to its south.
Compared to other major European hub airports, like [[Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport|Charles de Gaulle]] or [[London Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]], CPH has a similar number of connections, but is much smaller in both actual size and passenger volumes, and can provide a calmer, more pleasant experience. Its location in the south of Scandinavia makes reaching most European destinations reasonable, and flying to destinations in the Baltic region and in Eastern Europe generally only takes half the time as from major hub airports in Western Europe.

==Understand==
==Understand==
Copenhagen Airport is a compact airport with two terminals for check-in, but with a common post-security departure and transfer area, thus making transfers very smooth. The airport handles in excess of 25 million passengers a year, which puts it in the same league as [[Zurich Airport|Zurich]] and [[Vienna International Airport|Vienna]]. It has also consistently topped the charts for Nordic airports, serving as a European and intercontinental hub for all of them due to its location.
The airport opened in 1925 and became the hub of SAS upon that airline's establishment in 1946. It has been growing ever since, with the current Terminal 2 opening in 1960 and Terminal 3 in 1998. After the opening of the Øresund Bridge to Malmö, the airport has also been the primary airport for [[Scania|southern Sweden]].
===Early days===
The neighborhood now called the East Village was part of the hunting and gathering lands of local Native American tribes for thousands of years before the white man arrived. What's probably the oldest street in the neighborhood is now called '''Stuyvesant Street''' (with a listing in "See" below). Before it was a path during the time when Peter Stuyvesant, the only governor of New Netherland, owned a farm there (starting in 1651), it was a Native American trail. Stuyvesant continued to live in the area after New Netherland was ceded to the British, and his body was buried at '''St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery''' (q.v.).
==Flights==
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, some lovely multi-story buildings were built for wealthy pillars of New York society in the neighborhood. Many such buildings still stand, including the 1804 '''Hamilton Fish House''' at 21 Stuyvesant St.
[[File:Copenhagen Airport Mai 2009 PD 099.JPG|thumbnail|right|SAS Scandinavian Airlines, for whom Copenhagen is the most important hub, dominate the airport.]]
===Intercontinental connections===
Copenhagen's international connections are mainly provided by two competing Scandinavian carriers, both with long-haul bases at the airport:
* '''[http://www.flysas.com SAS Scandinavian Airlines]''' flies to [[Newark Liberty International Airport|Newark]], [[O'Hare International Airport|Chicago (O'Hare)]], [[Beijing Capital International Airport|Beijing]], [[Shanghai Pudong International Airport|Shanghai (Pudong)]], and [[Narita Airport|Tokyo (Narita)]].
* '''[http://www.norwegian.com Norwegian]''' flies to [[JFK]], [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], [[Fort Lauderdale]], and [[Suvarnabhumi Airport|Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi)]].
SAS is a member of Star Alliance, meaning that many of their flights are code-shared or can be interlined with local Star Alliance partners. Therefore, you can take advantage of a one-ticket flight to, from, or via Copenhagen even if your origin or destination is not directly served by SAS. Norwegian is not a member of any alliance, but they offer connecting flights from Copenhagen to their European destinations on one ticket with an intercontinental flight.
Other airlines offering intercontinental connections to Copenhagen are SAS's Star Alliance partners '''[http://www.singaporeair.com Singapore Airlines]''' (to [[Singapore Changi Airport|Singapore]]), '''[http://www.aircanada.com Air Canada]''' (to [[Toronto Pearson International Airport|Toronto]]) and '''[http://www.thaiairways.com Thai Airways]''' (to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and [[Phuket]]), as well as competing SkyTeam carrier '''[http://www.delta.com Delta]''' with a seasonal connection to JFK and '''[http://www.piac.com.pk Pakistan International Airlines]''' to [[Islamabad]] and [[Lahore]].
===Waves of immigration===
[[File:German-lutheran-323-e-6th.jpg|thumb|The Sixth Street Community Synagogue (formerly St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church)]]
Following the failure of the 1848 democratic revolution in [[Germany]], thousands of Germans immigrated to New York City and set up shop in what's now the East Village, the Lower East Side and Chinatown, and the entire area was known as Kleindeutschland ("Little Germany") until the early 20th century, when disaster struck. In the incident that caused the worst lost of life in New York of any single disaster prior to 2001, a ship called the General Slocumb, which was ferrying Lutheran parishioners including most of the leading local German-American citizens to Long Island for a picnic in 1904, caught fire in the East River, killing over 1,000 people and essentially decapitating the community, many of whose remnants went uptown to [[Manhattan/Upper East Side|Yorkville]]. If you look carefully, especially on St Marks Place, you can see relics of those days, including the '''Deutsch-Amerikanisch Schützengesellschaft''' (German-American Shooting Club) near 3rd Av. and the '''German''' (now Korean) '''Evangelical Lutheran Church''' just east of 2nd Av., as well as the '''Ottendorfer Library''' on 2nd Av. between St Marks Place and 9th St. — and the '''Sixth Street Community Synagogue''' on 6th St. between 1st and 2nd Avs., which was once the St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church that had rented the ill-fated ship. In the same period, refugees from the Irish Potato Famine arrived in the U.S., and some of them set up shop in the East Village as well, including John McSorley, who is said to have opened '''McSorley's Old Ale House''' in 1854.
Apart from that, '''[http://www.emirates.com Emirates]''' and '''[http://www.qatarairways.com Qatar Airways]''' fly between Copenhagen and their hubs in the Persian Gulf region, where you can take advantage of their dense network of connections to Asia, Africa and Australia.
Starting around the 1880s and continuing apace until the immigration laws were tightened in the 1920s, the neighborhood, as part of the Lower East Side, hosted a large number of Eastern European immigrants, including Polish Catholics, Ukrainian adherents of Eastern Rite Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, and Yiddish-speaking Jews, and also many Italians. Second Avenue on the Lower East Side — as it was then universally known — became synonymous with Yiddish theater, with Jews streaming into the area from other parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond to hear the biggest stars from the U.S., Poland, Romania and other areas with active Yiddish theaters sing musicals in their language. Many of those theaters still exist, though they've been repurposed as movie theaters (as on 12th St. and 2nd Av.), English-language theaters (as in the case of the '''Orpheum Theatre''' on 2nd Av. between 7th and St Marks Place) or for other more prosaic functions. Unfortunately, Yiddish theater died an unnatural death in the Nazi extermination camps, combined with younger generations of American Jews ceasing to speak the language. However, there are still a large number of very active Polish and Ukrainian Christians in the neighborhood, replenished by new immigration in more recent decades, and their churches can be seen, though most of the inexpensive Polish and Ukrainian restaurants and shops that used to be a mainstay have been forced to close their doors one after the other, due to gentrification.
Copenhagen Airport is also the only airport with year-round, direct, regularly scheduled passenger service to [[Greenland]], operated by '''[http://www.airgreenland.com Air Greenland]'''.
===From bohemia to riches===
[[File:Webster Hall.jpg|thumb|Webster Hall]]
Starting in the 1950s, the East Village was a very bohemian neighborhood that bebop saxophonist and composer Charlie Parker (his residence, on Av. B across from Tompkins Square Park, is memorialized with a plaque), Beat poet Allen Ginsberg and many other members of the counterculture called home. It was also, starting in the 1960s, a focus of alternative rock, electronic music, and multimedia and performance art. Sadly, during and since the 1990s, an increasing number of venues for live music were forced to stop the performances or close their doors outright, including the world-famous CBGB; however, there is still quite a lot of live performance in the neighborhood, including at the grand 1880s-vintage '''Webster Hall''', now host to many rock performances; a strip of theaters on E. 4 St. between the Bowery and 2nd Av.; and the '''Bowery Electric''' and other venues on the Bowery.
[[File:Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 737-800; LN-NGC@CPH;10.05.2013 706df (8759496994).jpg|thumbnail|right|The red-nosed Norwegian Air Shuttles fly not only to [[Norway]], but also across Scandinavia and all of Europe, with a particularly dense network of connections to [[Spain]].]]
Another important change for the neighborhood was a wave of immigration by Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, starting around the 1960s, which was felt particularly strongly in Alphabet City/Loisaida. Like the rest of the neighborhood, that area of the East Village has gentrified considerably in the last couple of decades, but it still has some Latin feel, especially further east.
===Connections within Europe and the Mediterranean===
The neighborhood fell on hard times along with the rest of the city in the 1970s and 80s, when the East Village was a very gritty high-crime area, full of crumbling buildings, empty lots and homeless people, plagued by crack and heroin, and ravaged by the AIDS epidemic. Many abandoned buildings were occupied by squatters, Tompkins Square Park was the site of encampments of homeless people, and empty lots were cleared of rubble and turned into community gardens, some of which still exist, but the crime remained a problem for a long time. The year 1988 marks a turning point for the neighborhood. The police surrounded and attacked the homeless people camped out in Tompkins Square Park, their supporters and some people who were simply watching. Many people in the neighborhood believed this was due to pressure from the first wave of gentrifiers — wealthy people who moved into a poor neighborhood and then found it inconvenient to have to witness the poor conditions that predated their arrival.
Both SAS and Norwegian offer a dense network of connections between Copenhagen and other Scandinavian destinations. In particular, they both offer frequent flights between the triangle of capitals — Copenhagen, [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen|Oslo]] and [[Stockholm]] — with an approximately hourly frequency, and very competitive pricing.
Apart from that, both carriers have extensive networks within Europe and the Mediterranean (including North Africa and the Middle East). SAS flies to most European capitals, and has a particularly dense network of connections across the Baltic Sea, to [[Finland]], [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]], as well as to [[Poland]], where it serves the majority of even small airports. There is also a fairly good network of connections to the [[United Kingdom]] and, perhaps surprisingly, to [[Italy]], where even smaller airports like [[Bologna]] are served.
Fast forward to 2016, and you'll find some homeless people on the street, but the neighborhood, like the rest of New York, is way lower in crime — but it is also too expensive for many people to live in. Although quite a lot of relatively high-rise luxury construction is taking place, much of the area is now part of one or another "historic district", thus preserving at least a good chunk of its substantial remaining architectural heritage from the wrecking ball. However, the vaunted edginess of the neighborhood is now mostly a memory, and especially on weekends, the East Village is instead overrun by well-to-do, slow-moving young people, many of whom drink to excess and can't hold their liquor. If you'd like a quieter experience of a neighborhood that for better and worse is no longer very edgy but still has charm, a visit on a weekday and walks on side streets other than St Marks between 2nd and 3rd Avs. may appeal to you more than barhopping on a Saturday night.
Outside Scandinavia, Norwegian has bases at [[Gatwick Airport|London Gatwick]] and across Spain, meaning frequent service between Copenhagen and those destinations. They also serve a number of other European cities from Copenhagen, and in the summer they fly to most of the popular tourist destinations around the Mediterranean.
==Get in==
[[Image:Eastvillage map.png|thumb|630px|East Village Map]]
===By subway===
The best [[New York City#By subway|subway]] line for getting into the heart of the East Village is the '''6''' train, which stops at Astor Place, just one short block from St. Marks Place. You can also get out at Bleecker Street for more southerly East Village locations between Houston and 4th Streets.
Almost all major European carriers have a connection to Copenhagen from their main hubs. As Denmark holds sizable immigrant communities from various European countries, even smaller carriers have frequent connections to the likes of [[Sarajevo]] or [[Belgrade]]. Copenhagen Airport has been seeing increased traffic from low-fare carriers since the launch of the dedicated ''CPH Go'' section of the airport (with common check-in and security with other airlines, but separate gates and waiting area). Airlines using ''CPH Go'' include [http://www.easyjet.com EasyJet], [https://www.ryanair.com Ryanair], [https://www.transavia.com Transavia], and [https://www.wizzair.com WizzAir], although the latter only for selected destinations, with the majority of its flights to the Øresund area landing at [[Malmö|Malmö Sturup Airport]] instead.
The and '''R''' and '''W''' trains run under Broadway along the western edge of the neighborhood, stopping at 8th Street NYU station near Astor Place.
===Check-in and security===
The '''L''' train is a rare crosstown train that runs along 14th Street, the northern edge of the East Village. The '''3rd Avenue''' and especially the '''1st Avenue''' stations can save you some steps if you're headed for more northerly or easterly destinations. The L can also take you to Greenwich Village or Brooklyn's Williamsburg, for a tour of bohemias of the recent and more distant past.
[[File:Copenhagen Airport Mai 2009 PD 119.JPG|right|thumbnail|Checking in at Terminal 2]]
'''For check-in''', Copenhagen Airport has two terminals:
* {{Marker|name=Terminal 3|lat=55.62910 | long=12.64938}} - Domestic and international scheduled departures from [[Star Alliance]] member airlines as well as Air Baltic, Air Serbia, Alsie Express, Danish Air Transport, Icelandair and Widerøe. This is the terminal you enter when arriving from the airport's train and metro stations, and where you enter from the luggage claim area.
* {{Marker|name=Terminal 2|lat=55.62904 | long=12.64612}} - All domestic and international scheduled flights not handled by Terminal 3, including [[Skyteam|SkyTeam]] and [[oneworld]] airlines, Norwegian Air Shuttle and check-in facilities for low-fare airlines departing from CPH Go, as well as check-in for charter flights. From the metro and railway stations, go to your right when in terminal 2.
Both terminals share the airport's only security facility on the first floor. In 2013, Copenhagen Airport was awarded World’s Best Airport Security Processing by Skytrax.
There are also trains that run along the southern edge of the neighborhood, under Houston Street - take the '''B''', '''D''', '''F''', or '''M''' to the Broadway-Lafayette station. The F also runs to the 2nd Avenue station.
===Gates and transfer===
There are many trains that stop at Union Square, which is just past the northwest corner of the East Village - but it's something of a hike to the center of the neighborhood. Take the '''4''', '''5''', '''6''', '''N''', '''Q''', '''R''', '''W''' or the '''L'''.
After passing security or arriving for a connecting flight, you will find yourself in one large departure area, with access for all gates. The gates can be separated in the following sections, sorted from west to east:
*{{Marker|name=A29-A34|lat=55.6289 | long=12.6325}} - The "Domestic Yard", previously used for small flights for domestic departures. Currently the gates are used for international destinations inside the [[Europe#Countries|Schengen area]].
===By bus===
*{{Marker|name=A18-A28|lat=55.6295 | long=12.6381}} - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
Numerous [[New York City#By bus 2|MTA bus]] routes serve the neighborhood. Of particular note, however, are the crosstown buses. The M8 travels east on 8th St., then turns north on Av. A and travels on 10th St. the rest of the way. The M8 travels west on 10th St. and then starting on Av. A, on 9th St. The M14 14th St. crosstown is also notable because after going crosstown on 14th St. from the west side, the M14A bus turns down Av. A, whereas the M14D turns down Av. C and travels down Av. D starting at 10th St. You can also try your luck with the M21 Houston St. crosstown, though it doesn't run very frequently most of the time and like the 14th St. crosstown and most other crosstown buses in Manhattan, it can also get caught in slow traffic.
*{{Marker|name=A2-A17 ("Finger A")|lat=55.6278 | long=12.6426}} - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
*{{Marker|name=B2-B19 ("Finger B")|lat=55.6271 | long=12.6453}} - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
*{{Marker|name=C2-C10|lat=55.62814 | long=12.64922}} - Bus-boarding gates used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area. Note that you have to go down the escalator to ground level for those gates and cannot go up to shopping / service facilities once you do so.
*{{Marker|name=C15-C40 ("Finger C")|lat=55.62672 | long=12.65000}} - Used for international destinations outside the Schengen area.
*{{Marker|name=D1-D4|lat=55.62778 | long=12.65238}} - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
*{{Marker|name=D101-D104|lat=55.62756 | long=12.65070}} - Bus-boarding gates used for international destinations outside the Schengen area.
*{{Marker|name=F1-F6 ("CPH Go")|lat=55.62582 | long=12.65577}} - Used for low-cost departures for international destinations outside the Schengen area.
*{{Marker|name=F7-F10 ("CPH Go")|lat=55.62575 | long=12.65777}} - Used for low-cost departures for international destinations inside the Schengen area.
No gate is located more than 33 minutes' walk from any other.
This is absolutely the best way to catch all of the East Village action. If you are coming from uptown on the West Side, take the West Side Green Path down to 14th Street. Cross east on 12th, or any street with a bike lane that runs east! If you are coming down from the East Side, there is an East Side bike path that is interrupted by the United Nations. Simply cross over to Second Ave. and ride south until you cross 14th St.
===Arrivals===
If you don't have your own bike, one option is the very popular CitiBike bike sharing service ($6/half hour), which has numerous locations throughout the neighborhood.
All arrivals exit to Terminal 3, right onto the escalators, elevators and stairs leading to the train and metro stations. You can find ticket booths and machines for both there as well. Taxis will be on your right once you pass the check-in booths.
==Ground transportation==
===By car===
===By car===
Copenhagen Airport is adjacent to the Øresund Motorway (route E20), which connects Copenhagen with Malmö via the tolled [http://uk.oresundsbron.com/page/976 Øresund Bridge]. As of September 2015, the price for crossing in a car is DKK 345. The rest of Sweden is accessible by motorway via Malmö. Most parts of Denmark are also connected to the motorway network.
Parking in the East Village can be difficult. If you plan to park on the street, be patient and opportunistic, and take care to observe posted parking regulations and avoid parking in front of houses of worship and funeral homes, lest your car should be ticketed or towed. There are also some parking garages in the neighborhood, if you don't mind paying.
Parking capacity at Copenhagen Airport was greatly expanded in 2015 with the construction of a new lot as one of the first phases in an ambitious airport expansion plan scheduled to roll out in the coming decades. There are several lots: those near the terminals are very expensive, while the further-flung ones are cheaper (but have free shuttle bus service to the terminals).
===On foot===
If you are within walking distance of the East Village in decent weather, walking to the neighborhood is the most interesting way to go, and certainly the best way to get around.
===By train===
[[File:Copenhagen Train Station Airport Kastrup.jpg|Right|thumb|Train towards Copenhagen Central Station at the railway station.]]
A {{Marker|type=go|name=railway station|lat=55.6296 | long=12.6494}} (''Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup Station''; sometimes called ''CPH Airport Station'' and wrongly ''Kastrup Station'') is located in Terminal 3. The station has frequent connections to Copenhagen and Malmö, as well as InterCity trains for the rest of Denmark and a few daily SJ 2000 express trains for Stockholm. The frequent Øresund trains between Copenhagen and Malmö continues in Denmark to [[Elsinore]] and in Sweden to a number of destinations in [[Scania]] and other parts of [[Götaland]]. The travel time to Copenhagen Central Station is 12 minutes, and 20 minutes to Malmö Central Station.
===By metro===
In Terminal 3 you'll find the terminus of Line M2 of the {{Marker|type=go|name=Copenhagen Metro ''(Lufthavnen Station)''|lat=55.6309 | long=12.6493}}. Service is very frequent and runs to Vanløse via the central Copenhagen interchange station ''(Nørreport Station)''. The travel time to Nørreport Station is 15 minutes. For prices, see [[Copenhagen#Get around]].
===By bus===
The bus terminal is located outside of Terminal 2. The airport is only served by a few local buses (lines 5A, 35 and 36), which are charged in the same way as the metro and local trains. The airport also has coach connections to [[Aarhus]] (operated by [http://www.abildskou.dk/ Abildskou]), Malmö ([http://www.graahundbus.dk/ Gråhundbus]), Oslo and [[Gothenburg]] ([http://www.nettbuss.se/ Nettbuss]) and [[Uppsala]] and Stockholm ([http://www.swebus.se/ Swebus]).
===By taxi===
===By taxi===
Taxis are located outside Terminal 3. A ride to central Copenhagen costs around DKK 300.
There are usually many taxis in the East Village. It is easiest to flag down a cab on avenues, rather than side streets, but if you are on a side street, look for cabs, anyway, while you walk toward an avenue. Be warned that at peak times and in bad weather, it can be hard to find empty cabs.[[File:Freie Bibliothek and Deutsches Dispensary.jpg|thumb|300px|Ottendorfer Library on the left, with the former dispensary on the right]]

==Get around==
A free airport bus connects the terminals and the parking areas every 15 minutes (at night every 20 minutes). It takes half an hour to walk from the gates furthest from each other. Also, no gate is more than a 20-minute walk away from security.
When waiting for your fight to depart, there are quite a few shops and restaurants to keep you entertained. There are also six [https://www.cph.dk/en/before-travelling/workspace-and-lounges/ lounges] {{dead link|January 2017}} at the airport, moreover the Hilton opposite the road offers conference facilities.

The college, the legacy of Peter Cooper, occupies a special place in the history of American education.

| content=This is an old-fashioned kosher bakery. Among their excellent offerings are their strudels, mandel bread, rugelach, black & whites, danishes, almond horns, cinnamon sticks and kichlach (big crispy sugar cookies), and their challahs are also very popular. Their hamantashen are also good, though sometimes a bit salty. The Chinese almond cookies are good, but some of the smaller cookies are not too consistent in quality. The counterwomen are always willing to help you select items that were baked that day. Items that are in individual portion size, like black & whites, danishes, and almond horns, cost around $2.50-$3 apiece, but rugelach and mandel bread are quite a lot more expensive and must be bought by the quarter pound (minimum) or as an entire large piece, respectively. The staff will be happy to cut you a piece of strudel, and they will also slice challah for you without extra charge. Wednesdays and Thursdays are particularly good days to visit, as they have fresh chocolate and sometimes also cinnamon babka those days, and with any luck, you can get some that's still warm (unfortunately, they no longer sell it by the slice; you'll have to get half a babka or an entire one). There is no place to sit, so all business is for takeout, and they do not have napkins or utensils to give you.
| content=A rather vivid example of the gentrification of the Bowery, this store is noteworthy for being the former home of CBGB, an underground nightclub that was famous for being the center of the New Wave and hardcore punk scenes in the 1970s and 80s. Today, it's a high-end men's fashion store popular for the many rock stars among its clients. Though the punk crowd is gone, the flyer-covered walls from CBGB have been preserved and rock memorabilia sits beside the store's designer jackets and shoes.

From a DKK 50 Danish hotdog and a beer to fine dining, at Copenhagen Airport there is something for everyone's taste.
[[File:East River Park promenade 3.jpg|thumb|280px|Looking north from near 7th St. on the East River Promenade in East River Park]]
There are hundreds of eateries in the East Village, which is among the best neighborhoods in Manhattan for sampling a variety of different cuisines and has lots of good values at a wide spectrum of price points. That said, with the rise in real estate prices, there has been a proliferation of upscale restaurants, with several budget restaurants having closed in the last couple of years, and prices have gone up palpably almost everywhere. In this neighborhood, nowadays, a meal that costs $30-65 or so per person before tip is mid-range. The "splurge" category starts no lower than the $70s.

| content=This is a branch of an Isaan restaurant headquartered in Bangkok. Expect spicy food unless you request for it to be made milder, and also be aware that items marked on the menu as including fermented fish have a very strong rotten-fish taste, which is authentic but may or may not meet with your approval. Among their best items are the ''gaeng om kai'' (Isaan-style chicken soup in a large bowl with cabbage and herbs, though you may want to ask for it with "less salt"), ''sa poak kai tod der'' (Der-styled deep fried chicken thigh), ''moo ping kati sod'' (grilled coconut milk-marinated pork skewers) and ''tum mangsavirat'' (vegetarian papaya salad). The restaurant is mellower at lunch, when the lights are on and Quincy Jones Band albums from the 1960s play on their sound system. At night, the low lights, techno music and crowds of young customers may make you think you should be dancing at a club. The restaurant is more crowded now that Michelin gave it a locally-controversial star, but if you are a small party, you are unlikely to have a long wait except perhaps at peak hours on Saturday night.

They sell other food items, but in general, it is best to stick to yakitori and similar items, and definitely do not get things like ramen there, because the further away it is from being grilled, the worse it is likely to be. Most of their yakitori is dependably good, and it's definitely a great value. They also sell pretty good sake for about $8 for a large carafe, and the servers are knowledgeable about the sakes. Because the restaurant is cheap and open late, it gets all kinds of freaky, drunk customers, and the aisles and seating are definitely at close quarters. Just consider it an experience and enjoy.

| content=This arguably used to be one of the better Thai restaurants in Manhattan but may no longer be, though it is one of three or so in Manhattan where anyone can get very spicy food. They have a 1-5 spiciness index, and anything 4 and up will seriously challenge most people (3 is already robustly spicy). Zabb specializes in Isaan cuisine from the Northeastern part of Thailand near Laos, so get specialties like larb, yum, som tom, and toam. If you want your food less sweet and more sour, ask. You might not get it exactly the way you want, but it's worth a try.

All the ingredients are of a very high quality and the combinations are interesting. Their wines are also excellent. If you buy no drinks, your meal could cost less than $30, but you risk missing part of the experience. The wait staff is very helpful, and the sommelier is enthusiastic and glad to provide tastes of a few open wines to help you make a selection. The sound system plays classic rock at a moderately loud but not deafening level. 20% service charge is included in the bill; no tipping allowed.

Many Chinese customers go there for hotpot, but there are many other good dishes. Prices are not bargain-basement but portions are humongous. They also do a lot of takeout and delivery business. Also, their lunch specials belong in the "Budget" category and are one of the best deals in the East Village, as there is a wide selection and most are genuine Sichuan dishes, and their hot and sour soup, which comes with the lunch special if you request it, is quite good except when there's too much corn starch in it.

Nor does Kyo Ya have a website. Before their New York Times 3-star review, they were content to have a reputation by word of mouth, as a very civilized, artisanal restaurant with the gracious service you'd expect at an upscale Japanese restaurant. This is a kaiseki restaurant, which specializes in meals of many courses. You can order a la carte, but if you have the money, you really are best off letting the restaurant shine by doing what it does best. Reservations are more or less essential, especially if you want kaiseki, which requires a couple of days' advance notice. Excellent sake list, too.

The sound track tends toward country and classic rock, the bartenders are personable and helpful, and the clientele tends to be a quirky, friendly motley crew of various ages.

==Respect==
The East Village is a residential neighborhood. Visitors are of course welcome. But please do not block the sidewalk, entrances to residences, or intersections where people may want to cross the street on green or red lights, and do not make a lot of noise outside at 3 in the morning. Remember that local residents have places to get to quickly day and night, and though New York is called the "City That Never Sleeps" (a name that's particularly apt in the East Village), most residents above a certain age do need some shut-eye before 5AM, even on St Marks Place.

The whole airport has free Wi-Fi coverage. You need your email address and country of origin to log in. In addition, lounges have their own Wi-Fi networks.
There is a [http://www.starbucks.com Starbucks] on Astor Place right near the exit from the downtown 6 subway, with other East Village locations at 9th St. and 2nd Av., 3rd St. and 1st Av. and 13th St. and 1st Av.

Copenhagen is not only the main airport for the densely-populated Øresund region, but also the main air transportation hub for Scandinavia, the main hub for the joint Danish-Swedish-Norwegian carrier SAS Group, and one of Europe's major hubs. There is a large number of intercontinental connections to Copenhagen, as well as a dense network of short-haul connections from Copenhagen to destinations throughout all of Europe, especially the Nordic countries.
Compared to other major European hub airports, like Charles de Gaulle or Heathrow, CPH has a similar number of connections, but is much smaller in both actual size and passenger volumes, and can provide a calmer, more pleasant experience. Its location in the south of Scandinavia makes reaching most European destinations reasonable, and flying to destinations in the Baltic region and in Eastern Europe generally only takes half the time as from major hub airports in Western Europe.
Copenhagen Airport is a compact airport with two terminals for check-in, but with a common post-security departure and transfer area, thus making transfers very smooth. The airport handles in excess of 25 million passengers a year, which puts it in the same league as Zurich and Vienna. It has also consistently topped the charts for Nordic airports, serving as a European and intercontinental hub for all of them due to its location.
The airport opened in 1925 and became the hub of SAS upon that airline's establishment in 1946. It has been growing ever since, with the current Terminal 2 opening in 1960 and Terminal 3 in 1998. After the opening of the Øresund Bridge to Malmö, the airport has also been the primary airport for southern Sweden.
Flights
SAS Scandinavian Airlines, for whom Copenhagen is the most important hub, dominate the airport.
Intercontinental connections
Copenhagen's international connections are mainly provided by two competing Scandinavian carriers, both with long-haul bases at the airport:
SAS is a member of Star Alliance, meaning that many of their flights are code-shared or can be interlined with local Star Alliance partners. Therefore, you can take advantage of a one-ticket flight to, from, or via Copenhagen even if your origin or destination is not directly served by SAS. Norwegian is not a member of any alliance, but they offer connecting flights from Copenhagen to their European destinations on one ticket with an intercontinental flight.
Apart from that, Emirates and Qatar Airways fly between Copenhagen and their hubs in the Persian Gulf region, where you can take advantage of their dense network of connections to Asia, Africa and Australia.
Copenhagen Airport is also the only airport with year-round, direct, regularly scheduled passenger service to Greenland, operated by Air Greenland.
The red-nosed Norwegian Air Shuttles fly not only to Norway, but also across Scandinavia and all of Europe, with a particularly dense network of connections to Spain.
Connections within Europe and the Mediterranean
Both SAS and Norwegian offer a dense network of connections between Copenhagen and other Scandinavian destinations. In particular, they both offer frequent flights between the triangle of capitals — Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm — with an approximately hourly frequency, and very competitive pricing.
Apart from that, both carriers have extensive networks within Europe and the Mediterranean (including North Africa and the Middle East). SAS flies to most European capitals, and has a particularly dense network of connections across the Baltic Sea, to Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as to Poland, where it serves the majority of even small airports. There is also a fairly good network of connections to the United Kingdom and, perhaps surprisingly, to Italy, where even smaller airports like Bologna are served.
Outside Scandinavia, Norwegian has bases at London Gatwick and across Spain, meaning frequent service between Copenhagen and those destinations. They also serve a number of other European cities from Copenhagen, and in the summer they fly to most of the popular tourist destinations around the Mediterranean.
Almost all major European carriers have a connection to Copenhagen from their main hubs. As Denmark holds sizable immigrant communities from various European countries, even smaller carriers have frequent connections to the likes of Sarajevo or Belgrade. Copenhagen Airport has been seeing increased traffic from low-fare carriers since the launch of the dedicated CPH Go section of the airport (with common check-in and security with other airlines, but separate gates and waiting area). Airlines using CPH Go include EasyJet, Ryanair, Transavia, and WizzAir, although the latter only for selected destinations, with the majority of its flights to the Øresund area landing at Malmö Sturup Airport instead.
Check-in and security
Checking in at Terminal 2
For check-in, Copenhagen Airport has two terminals:
55.629112.649381Terminal 3 - Domestic and international scheduled departures from Star Alliance member airlines as well as Air Baltic, Air Serbia, Alsie Express, Danish Air Transport, Icelandair and Widerøe. This is the terminal you enter when arriving from the airport's train and metro stations, and where you enter from the luggage claim area.
55.6290412.646122Terminal 2 - All domestic and international scheduled flights not handled by Terminal 3, including SkyTeam and oneworld airlines, Norwegian Air Shuttle and check-in facilities for low-fare airlines departing from CPH Go, as well as check-in for charter flights. From the metro and railway stations, go to your right when in terminal 2.
Both terminals share the airport's only security facility on the first floor. In 2013, Copenhagen Airport was awarded World’s Best Airport Security Processing by Skytrax.
Gates and transfer
After passing security or arriving for a connecting flight, you will find yourself in one large departure area, with access for all gates. The gates can be separated in the following sections, sorted from west to east:
55.628912.63253A29-A34 - The "Domestic Yard", previously used for small flights for domestic departures. Currently the gates are used for international destinations inside the Schengen area.
55.629512.63814A18-A28 - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
55.627812.64265A2-A17 ("Finger A") - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
55.627112.64536B2-B19 ("Finger B") - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
55.6281412.649227C2-C10 - Bus-boarding gates used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area. Note that you have to go down the escalator to ground level for those gates and cannot go up to shopping / service facilities once you do so.
55.6267212.658C15-C40 ("Finger C") - Used for international destinations outside the Schengen area.
55.6277812.652389D1-D4 - Used for domestic departures and international destinations inside the Schengen area.
55.6275612.650710D101-D104 - Bus-boarding gates used for international destinations outside the Schengen area.
55.6258212.6557711F1-F6 ("CPH Go") - Used for low-cost departures for international destinations outside the Schengen area.
55.6257512.6577712F7-F10 ("CPH Go") - Used for low-cost departures for international destinations inside the Schengen area.
No gate is located more than 33 minutes' walk from any other.
All arrivals exit to Terminal 3, right onto the escalators, elevators and stairs leading to the train and metro stations. You can find ticket booths and machines for both there as well. Taxis will be on your right once you pass the check-in booths.
Ground transportation
By car
Copenhagen Airport is adjacent to the Øresund Motorway (route E20), which connects Copenhagen with Malmö via the tolled Øresund Bridge. As of September 2015, the price for crossing in a car is DKK 345. The rest of Sweden is accessible by motorway via Malmö. Most parts of Denmark are also connected to the motorway network.
Parking capacity at Copenhagen Airport was greatly expanded in 2015 with the construction of a new lot as one of the first phases in an ambitious airport expansion plan scheduled to roll out in the coming decades. There are several lots: those near the terminals are very expensive, while the further-flung ones are cheaper (but have free shuttle bus service to the terminals).
By train
Train towards Copenhagen Central Station at the railway station.
A 55.629612.64941railway station (Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup Station; sometimes called CPH Airport Station and wrongly Kastrup Station) is located in Terminal 3. The station has frequent connections to Copenhagen and Malmö, as well as InterCity trains for the rest of Denmark and a few daily SJ 2000 express trains for Stockholm. The frequent Øresund trains between Copenhagen and Malmö continues in Denmark to Elsinore and in Sweden to a number of destinations in Scania and other parts of Götaland. The travel time to Copenhagen Central Station is 12 minutes, and 20 minutes to Malmö Central Station.
By metro
In Terminal 3 you'll find the terminus of Line M2 of the 55.630912.64932Copenhagen Metro (Lufthavnen Station). Service is very frequent and runs to Vanløse via the central Copenhagen interchange station (Nørreport Station). The travel time to Nørreport Station is 15 minutes. For prices, see Copenhagen#Get around.
By bus
The bus terminal is located outside of Terminal 2. The airport is only served by a few local buses (lines 5A, 35 and 36), which are charged in the same way as the metro and local trains. The airport also has coach connections to Aarhus (operated by Abildskou), Malmö (Gråhundbus), Oslo and Gothenburg (Nettbuss) and Uppsala and Stockholm (Swebus).
By taxi
Taxis are located outside Terminal 3. A ride to central Copenhagen costs around DKK 300.
Get around
A free airport bus connects the terminals and the parking areas every 15 minutes (at night every 20 minutes). It takes half an hour to walk from the gates furthest from each other. Also, no gate is more than a 20-minute walk away from security.
