Amsterdam

I'm headed to Amsterdam for a couple of days. I know the city fairly well and have visited all the normal museum type places. I'm always looking for suggestions of offbeat things to do, great places to eat, etcetera ...

I'm also looking for names of Dutch photo galleries to check out...

I know there are quite a few Dutch readers so if anyone wants to hang out and hoist a pils just drop me a line at raul @ [mexicanpictures] .com, IM at donleoxii, or hit me on twitter (themexican).

Cafe De Pilsener Club,
Begijnsteeg 4,
1012 PN Amsterdam.
Tel. 020-623-1777

is central,.. a good honest, not fancy,non touristy, bar with good beers and traditional food.
It's what in Scotland we'd call "a good boozer".

happy travels,
jsh

if you are looking for offbeat take the trip to Friesland. Friesland is odd through and through. Too bad for the timing my Dutch boyfriend and I are visiting Amsterdam in 2 weeks. We would have loved to taken you out.

the Foam gallery is excellent. They might just have a James Natchwey exhibit up now. Easy to find. I don't remember the address.

I always love 'de 9 straatjes' (9 little streets inbetween the canals) to wander around. They offer you a bit of everything like art, second hand clothes, interior design, food and drinks, ... in a serene neighbourhood with beautiful houses.

Although it's a bit out of the way in the Eastern docklands, the Lloyd Hotel was an interesting hotel with some cool exhibits. You might want to check it out.
