I love to discover, explore and destroy photo books with my eyes and subsequently my portable telephone. A place where I love doing this is in the Stedelijk Museum. Yes, gift shops are typically stocked with pure Dutch gouda like any other gift shop but I find with enough dedication there is something to be found. I particularly enjoyed this one. Perhaps it is my Dutch affinity for milk.

A great music venue with ping-pong tables used to be a squat. 

Simple but refined dishes. Reserve space for the madeleines! 

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

The best place to read a book outside or inside one of the greenhouses and be surrounded by all of these different species of nature.
