Small bookstore in the center of Amsterdam with the likes of Experimental Jetset, Metahaven and Karel Martens.

Mussels, french fries and gin & tonics... need I say more?

Not a big fan of zoos and animals behind cages, but if you can spot Flamingos in the east-centre of Amsterdam, then count me in <3 ! You can actually see them while riding the bike on Plantage Middenlaan, quite a beautiful scene.  Note: De Plantage next to zoo is quite cool cafe/restaurant, with a mix of vintage style and industrial elements of the old buildings of Artis. Great atmosphere, and ideal for a more sophisticated outing. 

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

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