My favorite Thai place in Amsterdam and not just because it is close to the house! Great tasting, real Thai food. They have tofu and also understand the concept of no fish sauce if you are vegetarian.

A much less visited and picturesque park than Vondelpark, but it's a good spot for a run. Sure, it's not surrounded by a posh neighborhood, but it is full of green, waters and paths galore. Local spot

Drinks & Nightlife

Super close bar with typical Dutch food and drinks and nice outside seating, weather permitting. It's my favorite of the cluster of bars on this street, well designed interior and least boring people!
