Smorgas Chef At Scandinavia House

As a disgruntled New Yorker eager to leave this wretched city, its places like these that bring back that nostalgic love for a city I once truly adored like nothing else on earth. Which other city (outside of Scandinavia) would have entire center devoted to Scandinavian cuisine, art, history, film and culture?? They feature films, book-readings, events all connected to Scandinavia. The space is beautiful and the service was excellent and welcoming. The little shop is so cute and reminded me of the beautiful time I spent in Norway 5 years ago. This is what New York is about! Incorporating so many different cultures and people into one city so that we all belong here as one. We are the city of the world 🌎 💜

Helpful, friendly place where you can pick up some Scandinavian treats and indulge in regional art. When I lived in Minneapolis I regularly frequented the American Swedish Institute there, this is nowhere near as large or well equipped as that institute. Give the Park Avenue address and the compact space, it is extremely good. Unfortunately on my visit, the Bjork cafe was closed.

Such an authentic Scandinavian vibe, feels like you're in Copenhagen. Delicious Scandinavian fare at their modern, natural Birch wood cafe. Stylish furniture and Marimekko napkins, beautiful cutlery, a real visual and culinary measure. Very friendly service, everyone willing to explain the novel cuisine. Our brunch smorgasbord plates had a bit of all the favorites: herring, new potatoes, smoked salmon, crackers, cheese, pickles. Very yummy, nice desserts, well priced. Great gift shops.

This building houses organizations that promote Scandinavian culture. There is a library with books on all aspects of Scandinavia, an event space,a photo gallery and children's programming. There is also a restaurant and gift shop. If you are at all interested in the culture of this little known part of the world, a visit to the Scandinavia House is worth a trip .
