What should I do?
I'll be heading to London for about 2 weeks this Thursday and plan on going to Amsterdam for a few of those days. Smoking isn't really my thing (not that I wont do it while there), so I was just wondering if any of y'all had recommendations as far as bars, shops, places to eat, renting bikes, things to do/see yada yada etc etc.Any tips would be appreciated!

Rent a bike at Recycled Bicycles:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel…For a canal boat trip I would recommend Boom Chicago in Leidseplein. They use to have this smaller boat that takes around 10 people and you can take your booze, food, have smokes and just give a tip for the gas.
Something like this could be nice:

If you smoke weed i recommend The Grey Area.
Not the best to stay, but definitely one of the best weed menus.- Where is that? Don't know that one...jfletcher

Traditional Dutch food:

For real Dutch food I would ask someone Dutch, but here is really nice:

Stedelijk museum? eww, last time I went it was terrible. The Van Gogh museum is awesome! Also the Rijks museum is good for Dutch history. Been to that a few times. They are all next to each other.
I haven't run across a lot of "good" food, but for fun things, try Febo when you're drunk. It's a fast food vending machine place.
There are plenty of bars, but my favs are the few bars at the start of Zeedijk (next to Centraal station), t' Arendsnest is AWESOME!! Specialize in Dutch beer, and have tons of really nice stuff. Plus an old school brass bar! http://www.arendsnest.nl/
I also tend to like Excalibur which is in the middle of the red light district. It's a Hell Angels bar/rock bar, but I love hanging out there.
If you want the normal bar recommendations/club areas: Leidseplein, Rembrandtplein, Numarkt.
Lastly, rent a bike. I can't deal with anything if I don't have my bike. I busted the wheel once and it sucked to be without it for a few days >.<

Hope you find a nice weather.
And as I wrote before, if you wanna have a beer, let me know.
