Unfortunately it’s not in Amsterdam but De Pont, museum of contemporary art is worth the 1,5 hour trip with the train. The building itself is beautiful, it’s a former wool mill but also there collection is worth seeing!

Rijksmuseum in all glory but the rather overlooked library is a must.

We love having ramen here - it's a beautiful space, feels a bit like being back in NYC, and the food is incredible. There are two locations, the one in De Pijp is bigger, so easier to get a table, but the other location is very cosy, so get there early if you go to that location.

Coffee and food in a Scandinavian setting. Just like home.

De Plantage is a bright, elegant brasserie beside Artis where great design.
