Sønder Boulevard is home to many great shops and eateries. It's also a prime stretch for dog walking. The boulevard is lined with urban soccer fields, basketball, and ping pong tables. It's been designed for the people to use it and doubles as a yard for locals living in the surrounding apartment buildings. You can't say Sønder Boulevard without saying Absalon; Vesterbro's extended living room and a prime spot to chat up a local.
