Busy place in the city center, with local people. Here you can eat small dishes, but most people come for chill out and having a drink. One of the spots where there is sun at the terrace. When it gets dark and the dj starts playing, people will move insight to dance.

Bakers & Roasters is very famous in Amsterdam. These guys from New Zealand are preparing great coffees, poached eggs, cakes and great salads. Everybody loves their menu. You can order mimosa's here as well. Best spot for brunch, but keep in mind you have to wait 20-30 minutes for a table.

This is one of Amsterdams best clubs lately. They organize great parties with great dj's. Open till 5 in the morning. Bit outside the city center, but worth it. Check facebook for the event calendar.

Shopping

Brick lane is the store of one of my friends. The clothes here are limited editions, but always in line with the current trends. You can go here for a nice summer dress, but also for a body, nice shoes or some juwelery. Definitely worth to take a look.

This is one of my favorite stores and really on top of the fashion trends. The prices are fine for what you get. Most is black, grey and white colors but they have very special fits for all kind of woman clothes. When I visit I always buy something. They are very populair in Amsterdam and we used like their bags a lot....

This is one of the oldest and biggest markets of Amsterdam in the open air. Here you can find everything. From clothes, to cheeses and from bikes to make up. They will sell big stroopwafels warm on the streets, which is a typical Dutch specialty. A lot of tourist will go here, not even to buy stuff but for the experience.
