So far, this summer hasn't been too kind to all of us living here. It's been cold and rainy. But when it is nice, and we have had some nice days, there's nothing better than going to Nytorget, when staying in the city.
It's a small square in the SOFO area of Söder, surrounded by lots of cafes and restaurants. There's even an ice cream shop which opens just a few months a year (I want that job!).
I think it's a great area to go for coffee and pastries (you can buy to go or sit at the many tables down the street) when it's sunny. Lots of locals gather here and lounge around all afternoon..
A few weeks ago 'Gilda's room' opened its doors. Run by some of the loveliest ladies in town, this cafe has become one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Its french inspired decor and music makes you feel right at home (and i'm not even french). They have great mini pastries and home made cakes, perfect coffee and a good selection of teas. For lunch there are grilled sandwiches, which are delicious.
One of the best things about Gilda's is that it opens till late during the week. That's almost unheard of in Stockholm for a cafe.
For those of us used to a late night latte this is the place to come before going to bed and wonder why we can't fall asleep.
Away from all the tourist traps nytorget is a perfect place to mingle with locals, sip coffee and eat pastries till late.
Rain or shine..
