Rosalia's Menagerie
20 KloveniersburgwalBest place for a great cocktail and it's just around the corner.
My favourite bar in the neighborhood. They offer a large selection of draft beers and have some decent food too. It has a literary atmosphere and a great terrace outside where mostly locals come.

Amsterdam must be seen from a boat! This company also offers smaller, open boats to go around the canals in Amsterdam (Open Boat Tours). This tour offers nicer experience (especially with good weather) than a larger, closed boat.

One of the oldest and most famous chinese restaurants. The interior is very basic but the food is authentic and very tasty. Fried oysters is a special here and a dutch movie was named after them (Oesters van Nam Kee).
