[schererbuzz]

MUST DO's:

get chips from the 'mannekin pis' shop on damrak. with frite saus, not mayo.

What is the frite sauce like? I was only offered mayo or ketchup I believe. I went with mayo...wasn't too bad.

You're missing out, they're always open at lunch time.

Don't forget the frites by the Westerkerk. Damn fine. Non touristy frite places seem to only open daytime hours, this includes Vleminckx and the one by the Kerk.

Sorry but the best fries are in Belgium. That's why all these places have Belgian names.

I'll add a few more that I didn't see above:

1) Friday nights at Van Gogh - they serve alcohol and have music (live or DJ)
2) The greenhouses at Hortus on a cold day
3) Spui Book Market

Get incredibly high and go for a walk and get incredibly and completely lost

Its the essential Amsterdam experience
