Essentials
I don’t rent bikes since I own one. But if I needed one this would be the place. All the tourists ride on lousy bikes so I hope these ones are better. Anyway, I always go these guys if I have a flat tire or something with my bike.

Night out
Clubbing, cocktails, bars, you know.. the places which make you feel not so swell the next morning/afternoon/evening but give memories that last forever.
Both club and restaurant. Best line up in Amsterdam for electronic music (well, according to my taste). Proper clubbing. Only for the more experienced people. Dresscode: early nineties or what you would wear to berghain but a bit less sexy. It’s also advisable to know who’s playing otherwise you might not get in.

If you’re into vin naturel (and if not: now is the time to get into it, if you want to be taken remotely serious by your snobby wine loving friends. On the other hand those kind of people can be really tiresome as well. So you might better get rid of them after all.) this is the place to be. Really delicious wines which they let you taste before you make any decision. Be prepared to empty your pockets and spend your whole holiday budget in one evening.

If you’re looking for a quiet place that’s not too fancy with more good beers than you can drink in one evening this is the place. Only locals here, you’ll be the only tourist.

Not really in the neighbourhood and you will need a reservation. But this place is really cutting edge. Apart from edges they also cut food that’s in season. The best Amsterdam has to offer.

Buurten
These 9 streets have turned in a tourist trap, but that applies to most of the city center. Anyway, really nice small boutique stores. I still go here for buying clothes.
