Drinks & Nightlife
This is a typical, Amsterdam-style "bruin café" (brown café). It has the regular old men at the bar every night, a cosy atmosphere, a random assortment of music, good beers and a small dose of grime.

This very-Amsterdam "bruin café" (brown café) is the epitome of cosy, dusty "gezelligheid" - convivial, quaint and full of locals. It smells of toasties and has a very decent supply of board games.

Food Scene
This is a great little modern Dutch café. It's teeming with people in the evenings - its nightly menu always changes - so do reserve. It's a favourite with young families and the local yuppie crowd.

Right under the apartment, so the best place to stumble down to in the morning for a coffee or crawl back from in the evening after some beers! The food is excellent and the terrace is in the sun all day. I go here way too much.

Essentials
My favourite (and the closest) place to buy groceries. Run by a kind Turkish man, this tiny little grocery shop has all manner of organic food and exotic produce. It also blasts classical music!
