Danish Christmas Market Coming November 19-20
The Danish Seamen’s Church, 102 Willow Street (just south of Clark) will hold its annual Christmas Market on Friday, November 19 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 20 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Last year, the Market featured Danish food, crafts, Christmas ornaments, and music. In the garden behind the church, hot dogs, frikadeller, and glogg, as well as non-alcoholic drinks, were served. On Saturday, in addition to the market and backyard cafe at the Seamen’s Church, Danish open-faced sandwiches, pastries and other food, along with Carlsberg beer and soft drinks, were available cafeteria style in the undercroft of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 125 Henry Street (between Clark and Pierrepont). See Homer’s report on last year’s event here. Thanks to BHB reader Monty for the tip.

Danish Seamen’s Chuch Fair – Hot Dogs, Glogg… Sjovt!
The Danish Seamen’s Chuch [102 Willow Street] held its annual Danish Fair this weekend. We chomped on hot dogs and guzzled Glogg while checking out all the wonderful Christmas ornaments for sale. While Mrs. Fink insists that Glogg is just “mulled wine” our Danish friends at the Fair say, “Nej glog er meget bedre.”
Either way make your own with this recipe. Unless you have a better one — comment below.
Danish Fair This Weekend
The Danish Seamen’s Church will host its annual holiday season fair on Friday, November 21 from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M., and on Saturday, November 22 from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The Fair will be held at two locations: “Danish Food, Crafts, Christmas Ornaments, Music and much more” (last year the “much more” included glog) will be available at the Danish Seamen’s Church itself, at 102 Willow Street (just south of Clark); while a “Restaurant with Danish Open Faced Sandwiches and authentic Danish Pastry” (and which last year served, among other refreshments, Denmark’s great Carlsberg beer) will be at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 125 Henry Street (between Clark and Pierrepont).
Having attended this event last year, your correspondent can vouch that it’s not to be missed.
