an anxious Scotsman's 3rd visit hit-list - advice?

[elray85]

Hello all, I feel I have discovered this fantastic site much too late as I am just about to embark on my third adventure to amsterdam and feel I'm in need of some extra advice! Basically I've been trawling the reviews on here and have built up a pretty solid list of places to hit but I Was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions not on my list for my much-anticipated third visit? Or even if I have any listed which I should be wary of?Here it is!

Picasso
IHomegrown fantasy
De graal
Greenhouse effect
Grey area
Barney's
Rusland
Basjoe
Rookies
Katsu
Carmona
Kadinsky
Amnesia
Paradox
The bushdocter
Het ballonnetje
Het gelderse

Obviously it will be hard to hit all these within 5 days so I really need some help! I'm feeling increasingly worried of wasting my all-to-limited euros on inferior strains so a bit more guidance would be a great help. Also if anyone knows of a good place to hear some jazz or 80's/90's hip hop then that would also be valuable info!
Thanks for reading!

You got a damn good list there...I would addGreen Place for theirexcellent large menuand class gear...and whilst in the area ,nip round to Stix...their Nepali Temple Ball always class...but whatever,you'll enjoy yourself,i;m sure.... ...oh,and the only C/S i've ever heard Jazz in was La Tertulia...unless you count Jazz from Hell by Zappa in 420...

That is a good list that you have, quite doable in 5 days. I would make a few alterations to your list, however. I would take out Rusland and replace it with the Green place, as Darkglobe suggested. Also I would take out Bush Doctor, Greenhouse effect and het Gelderse, replace them with 420, Hunters and Mellow Yellow. You can visit Coffee Shops in sections. For example, Katsu, DeGraal, YoYo, Carmona all in de Pijp. Or Piccaso, Popeye, Amnesia, Grey Area HGF, 420 and even Barneys if you have to, but you can get the same Gear at Amnesia. Enjoy your trip.
