A morning on Calder Street, minute by minute
From the first rye loaf at 7:40 to the market crowd at ten. A short guide to the street outside our door.
Calder Street wakes up slowly, and in a fixed order. If you time it right, you can walk the whole thing before most guests have finished their coffee.
7:35, Ostra Bakery
Stand outside five minutes before the rye comes out. The baker hands the first loaf through the window to whoever is waiting.
8:15, Café Mercier
Take a table outside, even in November. They bring blankets without being asked.
10:00, Calder Market
Saturdays only. Enter by the north gate for flowers, leave by the south gate for cheese.
