De Waaghals (= The Dare-devil) is a very nice vegetarian restaurant. The atmosphere is informal, but the food is very nice, refined and creative. Organic ingredients are used as much as possible. Each month a dish focuses on a different country.

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

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

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

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