I'm off to 'The Dam' on Tuesday with a first timer. I've been far too many times to mention but wanted him to see some cool places.

I have several fav coffeeshops (such as Greenhouse Centrum, Abraxas and Rokerji).

Do any of you have any favourites to recmmond and why?
(You have until 8 on Tuesday morning.)

And does anybody know of good modern art galleries?

Oh-oh. I can see the Madame flying her way here...

I am posting in this thread.

No you're not - you're being silly.
Please don't carry on this way - you will be ejected from the forum (That's not a threat - I don't have the power to threaten you).

Well, what do you want me to do?

Can't be silly, can't take things seriously, can't stand up for fat people, can't stand up for transsexuals.

What do you people WANT from me?

Just a few more minutes of your time. About the same duration as the rest of your life.

Must. Resist.

we're off to the dam for a few days after tilburg...

anyone suggest anything to do? neither of us "smoke" so coffee-shops are a bit pointless

what about nice veggie eateries?

You'll get your money's worth wherever you go. They all have "munchie-sized" portions...

Is that munchies as in those crunchy rolo-sized things, or munchies as in binge eating?

abraxa's is a posh jewellers here... had to read that twice

as boudica says you can't go wrong for food.we ate phenomenally cheaply when we went (compared to the general cost of everything else).as we started to run out of money we did just about every museum /tourist thing going.the heineken museums fairly interesting.and if you're into art at all the van gogh museum's a must.

I suggest you just wander around town... the best way of tourism! It's slow enough to see things you'd miss passing by in a bus/car/train/flying carpet/...

I like to walk around and find the 'hidden' spots, the 'little' places...

Oh, and check 'Het Vondelpark', especially during winters it can be very nice with all those crazy Dutch people ice-skating!

And the Hash-museum, off course

i wanted to go to the torture museum but they wouldn't let me.

Totally.

Although you can end up with sore feet and need to stop at a coffee-shop for some anaesthetic

that's part of the plan, but keep it quiet

Wow. Information overload. With that much advise I'll be lucky to fit everything in.
Vondelpark and a jewellers in Norwich.

Oh and if you get time for a day out, try taking a train out to Zandvoort for a lovely day by the seaside.

so we're going to be in amsterdam from sunday lunchtime until wednesday evening.

any good shops, bars or maybe even club nights?

and no, i really dont give a crap about "coffee shops" or the red light district - not my scene at all

beer, kultchur, beer and music

find me places that provide that and i shall be a happy little quiffy

when you say watered, obviously you mean "appled"

I've always wondered....would cider count towards the '5 pieces of fruit' which is recommened by the health experts??
