Food Scene

Awesome Thai restaurant on the westerstraat in the Jordaan. One of my favorite restaurants of Amsterdam. You might need to make a reservation as I'm not the only one who likes this restaurant :) not too expensive though.

Big terrace outside. This place is like five minutes away of my house. Nice for lunch and dinner. Or just take a coffee. It's kind of a hipster bar. I like it :)

Drinks & Nightlife

Also a restaurant but actually a bar near the water. It has a huge heated terrace. It's under an old parking lot and next to a gas station (Texaco). Very good spot to drink beers on a Friday (or any other day :) ). 10 minute walk from my place. It's in Amsterdam West at the marnixstraat. It's Surinam orientated (food/music). That's an old colony of the Netherlands.

This bar brews their own beer. They serve three types. I really like the blond one. They also serve amazing hamburgers (nice veggie ones as well as the lentle burger for example) and sweet potato fries.

It's also a restaurant. Best place in town during summer time. It has a huge outside area. In winter time it's also cosy. Good to go for hot chocolate or a nice coffee. It's all made of wood and in front of Nemo (science museum for children). Place is near the water.

On the seventh floor of this building you find Canvas. One of my fav places to go out for drinks or to dance. Young crowd. Hipster meets alternative. The view of the city is amazing. In the same building opened the Volkshotel last year. A designer boutique hotel.

Shopping

Biggest flea market of the netherlands. Its once a month on Saturday and Sunday. I love it! Sometimes I sell my own clothes and other stuff here. The area is called NDSM werf. And it's located in Amsterdam North. You take a free pont from central station. The pont takes like 15 minute and departs from the backside of central station.

Translated the 9 straatjes means The nine little streets. So... what to expect? Exactly.. nine little streets full of small shops and nice coffee bars surrounded by all the canals and beautiful Dutch old houses. Get lost in this area. It's beautiful.

This place just opened up and gives you a great great overview of Amsterdam. You have to take the ferry from central station. There are even swings on the roof I've heard. Entry costs like 12 euros. There are combi tickets of 25 euros which include entry of this lookout, a boat drive true the canals of Amsterdam and a ticket to the Heineken brewery. Check out https://www.adamlookout.com/

I love this neighborhood. Its close to the Heineken brewery and not to far away from Museum square. Theres also a very famous food and clothes market called Albert cuijp. Its a little bit expensive because of all the tourists bit still nice to check out. And lots of nice lunch places here around the Gerard Douplein.
