Food Scene

Here you can have breakfast, lunch, diner or just go for a coffee or beer on sunny days, the view is nice and location right beside the beach. You can walk here or take the bike for a spin around the lake and stop here for a break.

You must go for a drink and enjoy this gorgeous view of Amsterdam. In the bar you can just have a drink or a simple meal, but they have a very exclusive restaurant as well. In summer they open the rooftop terrace. In winter there is a curling range and the week before Christmas a Christmas market on the roof.

Food market with food from all over the world in an old tram depot, great lunch option... or just enjoy the atmosphere if you don't mind the hipsters. There is also a very nice cinema with several small cinema rooms.

Drinks & Nightlife

Good for clubbing, and really close to the house! There is also a cafe just to have a drink and a restaurant for fine dining (not cheap, but very good) located in this old school building from the 60's.

Check their website before heading out here, it really depends what's on for that night, could be techno, could be a reading, could be closed...

Really nice beer brewery, also hard to find but it in the middle of the red light district. They also give tours around their brewery. The people working here are people with a special background. For a number of reasons they will have difficultly finding work on the regular job market, so here they are given a (second) chance. Go here for a beer!

Great place for clubbing, there is a restaurant/cafe with terrace as well, so you could go for dinner first, before you head out to the club... (although I can not really recommend the food here.)

Really authentic place to try Dutch liquors. You can also take a tour through their distillery. The tasting room closes at 19 o' clock, so go there on time, also because it is pretty difficult to find since it is located in a tiny alleyway next to the Krasnapolski Hotel and the tasting room is also tiny and can get very crowded. The earlier the better.

Shopping

Cheap second hand store, clothes furniture, books. There is a lot of crap also, but you feel extra lucky if you find a good item and they do have that, you just need to look really good for them.

"9 little streets" good for shopping, a lot of small shops instead of streets filled with big chain stores.

Pretty of the beaten track, but very cool small vintage shop. The owner has a really good eye for putting her collection together. I always love to go here.

Our street has paid parking, even though it is not expensive you will have to fill the meter every day and you won't be using the car in Amsterdam anyway. Here in this street it is for free. And it's a 5 minute walk from the house. Not sure if you can find a spot (you are not the only one who knows about this).
