Hannekes Boom is one of the nicest waterfront café in Amsterdam to have a beer when it's sunny. Close to Central Station, the place isn't crowded by tourists, but you need to be there early to get a seat.

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

Smack in the middle of tourist district and right on the border of the red light district. My good friend (and super talented photographer Qiu Yang, check it out folks!) is part of the furniture there and because of him, we - his friends - are allowed to order outside of the menu. So none of that westernized mild gruel, but the real spicy tongue-numbing-deal. Before going out to parties, after gallery openings or just when we’re hungry, our bunch always gathers there. Good times!

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

Store without a home is a guerrilla gallery department store, make sure you check out “Leaf-it” I love these sticky leaves!
