Guidebook for Amsterdam
Drinks & Nightlife
A brewery in a windmill in Amsterdam Oost. They close pretty early (20:00) so you should be there on time! You could get their beers in nearly every cafe in Amsterdam but the scenery is lovely, so go there!

Free tunes on a Friday or Saturday night! I don't go out dancing that often, but if I do I go here. It's free and laid-back.
It's an industrial place where you can swim in summer. I know this combination sounds weird, just check out their facebook website.

Food Scene
Simple but delicious Italian pastas. The prices are reasonable. For a pasta and a glass of wine you pay around 18 euros. I visit this place twice a month, at least!!

Best cinema in town. It's a slightly unorganised cinema where you can enjoy the movie while you sit on big couches. There is also a lovely terrace on the waterfront, oh and they serve really good food!

If you rented a bike, you should visit durgerdam, Ransdorp and Schellingwoude. Often after work, if I need some ME time, I cycle through the meadows and become happy instantly.

Shopping
Great shop for women. I go there once in a while and always want to buy everything. But it isn't cheap so you could also buy just one cool dress or skirt....
