Everything is really tasty here. If you like bread, try their homemade soda bread. This is the original cafe (a new bigger location more in the center has been opened) and this is the one you want to visit. Just be patient to get a table and then even more patient with the service....it is sloooow, but worth it :)

Biological food market. It is a bit more expensive than an average market but hey, you aren't going to cook much while on a holiday. The great thing is the location, in the famous district of Jordaan. Plus the cafe that serves the best apple cake ever is located on the side of the market.

Arts & Culture
Amsterdam Museum Building
92 Kalverstraatit is about Amsterdam :)
Museo Rembrandthuis (casa di Rembrandt))
4 JodenbreestraatOT301
301 OvertoomYes it is very touristic but it is worth a visit. Behind this building you will find the famous I AMSTERDAM sign. TIP : Book a ticket online a day before the visit, will save you some time. You may also buy an I AMSTERDAM pass for all museums but in my opinion it is not worth it - you do need at least 3 hours per museum (Van Gogh and Contemporary Art museums are next door) , and those passes are for a day or two days - you probably don't want to spend a whole day inside of a building.

Here you can find arts, culture some clubs...a bit of everything in an former industrial setting. The best thing is that you can take the ferry boat ride from behind of the Central Station that is free of charge and experience the city from a different prospective.
