In the ever growing conservative political scene in the Netherlands, the ADM is a reminder of the freedom and chaos that Amsterdam must have once been. It gives me my dose of dirty grittiness, something which is miss in this city in constant renovation and gentrification. Evolving around a main building on an industrial shipyard on the outskirts of town, it's an area where modern gypsies, anarchists, artists and free thinkers build their houses, park their caravans or dock their house boats. It's not entirely my scene, but I am happy to know that it's there. And they throw some amazing festivals!

Mussels, french fries and gin & tonics... need I say more?

Cosy place and simply the best coffee in town.

Known for their ceramics and carefully thought-out details. Get ready to spend a small fortune.

My pilates studio for many years. Only great trainers. Very nice people. A warm, welcome, professional studio for training during all hours.
