Hey all, I'm visiting Flash in the Can in 3 weeks. I'm planning on staying an extra day to visit the city. Any recommendations? No tourist stuff, rather nice bookshops, clothing stores worth visiting,... Thanx!

This is cool:
http://www.nijhoflee.nl/design/t…- Totally second this book shop. When I lived in Amsterdam, I was there two or three times a month. Amazing shop.skwiotsmith

Has the Stedelijk Museum reopened in its old venue again? If so well worth checking out:

Nijhof & Lee is great and pretty much next to the Droog shop, which is great...
Clothing shops, there's Lock, Stock and Barrel... not a great city for clothing, as you'll see when you're here.. most people go to Antwerp...
- droog has an actual shop? fuck, i can't believe i missed out on that :\ some of my all time fav stufflvl_13

Also if you like Thai food and you're looking for grub, check out a restaurant called Thai & Co, its fantastic though the restaurant itself isn't much to look at the food is excellent.
Thai & Co, Haarlemmerstraat 54hs

i remember visiting the standards..... anne frank house, van gogh museum etc. Seems like there's a nice bike/walking trail at a park around there.

The area known as the 9 streets is a great way to kill a day... lot's of nice little clothing, record and second-hand book shops...

skip flash in the can and just go bookshopping i'd say — bookie wookie (books by artists) is a gem of a store on the berenstraat in the 9 streets, and theres a book market every friday at the spui.
