Cinecenter is special to me because I used to work here. It is a great place to see all of your favourite movies.

Good coffees and pastries in a lovely place

Eclectic brewery for IPA's, music and art.

I love this Karaoke place. I do not know what they do with the microphones but everyone sounds good there. 

The city's biggest flea market is hosted the first weekend of each month in and around a gigantic warehouse in the industrial area of NDSM in Amsterdam Noord. I love to snuff around the hundreds of stalls to find unusual props. Taking the boat to cross the IJ and leaving the old centre behind is very refreshing. Make sure to also have a drink in Noorderlicht while the sun sets.
