November 9 - 7 hour layover

Long time lurker, first time poster here. Please be kind, I know that you can be. I am on my way to Scotland for a business trip and scheduled a long layover in Amsterdam (got to love Delta/KLM - arrive at 8:30 am, fly out again at 3:30 pm). I try to do this whenever I go to Europe. I can generally ...

Re: Burger Bar

Ate there last Friday night. I admit, I was skeptical that the best burger could be found anywhere outside of the US, but... Had the 200g Kobe burger. Nothing added to it. Medium rare, Was cooked on the rare side, but perfect for me. Loved every bite and was extremely disappointed when it was gone. ...

Re: What was your first and last Coffeeshop visited

First was in 1984 at a terrible place that I think was called Coffeeshop Pink - bought a space cake and some Moroccan hash. Last was in 2009, bought some Dr. Grinspoon at Barney's. Man, I loved that smoke. Looking forward to being in the dam overnight on Mar 18th. Reading these forums again has got ...

Thanks for posting me FBN. And most especially, thanks for posting all the sweet coffeeshop menus! Those are invaluable.

Hi

Hello Everyone, I've been reading ACD for quite some time now. I've decided that it is time to stop lurking and join the mob. I've been to the Dam about 7 or 8 times in my life. First trip was in '85; both started and ended my summer in Europe with a stop in the Dam. Coffeeshop culture was very diff...

I've stayed at the Hilton before. Lovely, modern hotel. :D If you're coming from Schipol, don't take the train to the Central Station. Instead, take the train to Amsterdam Zuid, then take tram #5. It's really easy. If you want detailed instructions, you can find them here (search for Directions &...

Nice report. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.

Sorry to hear about the Grey Area. I've always had good luck there and thought the budtenders were great. As mentioned elsewhere, must be because I'm American :wink:

Heard Italy is one of the worst for getting busted. might be true, but what i meant is that it is veeeeery likely to get busted in germany at the border to the netherlands. I have driven and taken the train between Amsterdam and Frankfurt/Dusseldorf many times. I have never had any problems in a ca...
