Kiosk Hello

Our friend Kip is going on a crazy tour of Europe and I offered to give him some resources for Ams­ter­dam and Stock­holm, etc. So, here are my favorite places in Ams­ter­dam, granted, I have not been there for some­time and there are not many since I was only there for three days but I hope every­thing is still good and exists. It is a lovely town even though our car was both broken into and had a boot put on it, damn! It was a expen­sive trip! Only after this hap­pened were we warned not to drive into Ams­ter­dam! Gee, thanks! So please Kip, don’t drive! Take this as a warn­ing. I don’t have a good hotel to rec­om­mend, if anyone knows of a place please comment…also, if anyone knows if these places have closed or has addi­tional rec­om­men­da­tions please do comment

De Bast
a health­food store, great selec­tion
Huiden­straat 19, West­ern Canal Belt (624 8087)

Wegewijs
Rozen­gracht 32, the Jor­daan (624 4093)
for cheese, really nice people and great selec­tion, we are really into cheese and Dutch cheeses are fantastic

‘t Kuyltje
Gasthuis­molen­steeg 9 (620 1045).
excel­lent and really cheap, I went there every morn­ing (opens early) for a fresh OJ and Dutch broodje, really yummy Dutch sand­wich, I hope the place is still there it was so tra­di­tional, not dead in the center which was good as it got me out on a morn­ing walk to check things out, not expen­sive which is also a plus

I was look­ing for good local her­ring and the best i found was at a street cart, I hope the man is still parked there…go down utrect­ses­traat, past 85, as you come to a park on left hand side if you are walk­ing south, it’s a little out­door wagon thing and the only one in the area

Lan­skroon
Singel 385 (623 7743)
really nice little bakery, where you can sit-​down, I am into their honey waf­fles, but the coffee ones were even better

for some reason all the ams­ter­dam places I noted are food related, we were not there for Kiosk, I guess food is a big pri­or­ity for me, seems like we need to go there for Kiosk!
