Amsterdam Page

De Zotte, behind the leidseplein. They have over 130 different types of beer. They also do bar meals.

De fles (020-6249644), on the corner of Prinsengracht and Vijzelstraat. Good meals in an Amsterdam Cellar. Nice atmosphere. There's an internet cafe further down this street.

Zabar (20-6798888), on Van Baerlestraat. This is walking distance from the area where all the museums are. This place is always fully booked at night, so make a reservation, or go for lunch.

Another typical Amsterdam lunch place is Singel 404. You can sit outside on the canal on nice days.

Restaurant Meden, next to pub 'de pieper' on the canal. More of an up class place. The pieper has a big terrace for sunny days.

De Belhamel(brouwersgracht 60, (020)-6221095). Located on the corner of 2 canals. Great view. More of an up class place. Not an extensive menu, but very good food. You'll need to make a reservation.

The 'WaagWaag' is a big square close to central station (behind the red light district). You'll find lots of bars and restaurants here.

For dancing, go to de Melkweg, Paradiso or the Arena . Arena is a bit out of town, but you might find the other places are too packed, and Arena has great parties on Saterday. They also have a bar. And it's a youth hostels so you can crash there if needed.

And of course there's plenty coffeeshops. Just ask for the menu, or tell them what you're looking for.

To take a break from the city, head for the Vondelpark, it's a big park in the middle of the city. Especially on sunny days this park is packed with locals sunbading, drinking, playing footie, making music.
