This place has, beside the excellent pastry, the best shrimp croquettes in town. 

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

Lost & Found is a monthly artist salon held in one of the medieval towers of the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt. In the room where Rembrandt's 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp' once took place have since 1997 over 80 sessions of stray images and sound been organized. Artists show material which doesn't fit comfortably into regular gallery contexts; work which demands more concentration than the usual walk-by. Check the Lost & Found website for dates & times.

Fotomomuseum housed in two monumental 17th century canal houses. 

A beautiful museum, outside of Amsterdam, surrounded by nature.
