Local Restaurants
 

Can anyone give me some helpful hints on local restaurants? I will be a tourist but would rather stay off the beaten path.

And your destination would be ..... so we can help you?<BR>

Yea that would help. Thanks! Amsterdam

I wouldn't admit to anyone I was going to Amsterdam either. We all know why people go there... wink, wink.

I wish people would stop thinking that everyone that goes to Amsterdam is going there to get laid and stoned !!<BR>Many people are, but not everyone. London has coffeeshops now, so does that mean that everyone going to London is only going to get stoned? <BR>If you have been to Amsterdam and you DID NOT get laid or get stoned please reply to Lenny.He needs an education.

I went to Amsterdam to get laid and stoned.

ed,<BR> how was it?

Reply - not bad, except the girls all smell a little of mayonnaise and tobacco.

This smells like a troll post - but here goes.<BR><BR>About a klick east of Cental Station is a wonderful Japanese restuarant with good sushi. Take the same trolley as you would take to the museums and hop off when you see the place - I wish I could remember the name.

Reasonably serious reply for Pip... I was in Amsterdam last summer, solo, female, my first trip there. I really liked the neighborhood of Leidseplein (also Vondelpark and the Jordaan) over the central area. The best food I had I found simply walking (walking, walking) around the area of my hotel. Had some excellent Italian from an eat-in or to-go deli style setting. Inexpensive and delicious. Also put a great lunch together from a 'health food' store. Good Greek restaurant a couple nights also. With a cheap bottle of cold white wine from my hotel lobby/bar - I was all set for great dining in my *tiny* hotel room.
