Cheers I guess it just depends how old this info is, but thanks alot

it's pretty up to date as far as I can tell.
Boreojongens/Bij and The Kashmir CS/Lounge Combo are all certainly open - they're a stones throw away.

Yes, Vondel is still open, or at least it was when I passed it last April. Tweedy has closed but Blue Lagoon is still open.

For more see the Google map mentioned above or this Directory page: Old West.

As far as I know, the map and Directory are up to date but please do let me know if you find any inaccuracies.

Your stone-throwing abilities are impressive. Overtoom and Kinkerstraat are two streets where bikes come into their own. For a pedestrian (and I've done them) they're a bit dull after the first time, or even during it. Even the walk to Blue Lagoon seems to take longer than it should. That's a basic but decent shop, but I'd avoid Vondel, which has reports of sprayed weed, and keeps changing its name, possibly in desperation.

This one really belongs on the mental map thread. I don't think of 1e Hulp as being near Abba, but it's closer than Katsu and the rest of the shops in de Pijp, which I generally went to when I stayed at the hotel. Noon is even closer. Basically, you're quite near Leidseplein, with the Bulldog offering people watching if not the greatest smoke, and all the rest of that sort of scene. Or if you'd like something quieter, head for de Pijp.

Google Maps is great for working these things out -- for example, which route to de Pijp is shorter, a question that bothered me in a minor way for ages: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Katsu ... .36271!3e2
