A tiny record shop that has all the character you'd want.  They also sell produce out front which gives it even more character. 

Fotomomuseum housed in two monumental 17th century canal houses. 

Where I buy most of my books and magazines for work. 

Best brunch I've had in Amsterdam :) Love their bloody mary, and negroni.  Also great for dinner! It's owned and run by Australians so it's super laid back and beautifully designed.

OT301 is a cultural centre in the former building of the Film Academy at the Overtoom. It’s a good place to get drunk, watch a movie or to eat. It's not too expensive, like most other places in Amsterdam, and the ambience is good.
