Did anyone hit up Noordermarkt today? I sure am missing that place today!
After crepes, I'd love to load up on mushrooms, buy some bread and cheese, then head to a houseboat for evening mushroom saute while watching the tourists float by.
OFD, on a Saturday, hit up Iberica on Harlemmerstraat, then amble over to the Markt for all sorts of delicious stuff. Say hi to the dude that helps operate La Tertulia ( he will b there selling geodes). Pick up a nice leather journal. Get some fresh squeezed fruit juice. Load up on cheese, bread, mushrooms.
I recommend with a nice, mellow, outdoor varietal such as Frysian Dew. If you can score some Hacker-Schorr german beer at the Albert Hein, you will touch upon an ecstacy level of mythical proportions!
Haha funny you mention Reb, me and the missus most certainly did hit up Noordermarkt yesterday!
It's right in our neighborhood, so always nice for some fresh produce, flowers and odd treats - jams, stroopwafels, big ole brandwurst broodjes
Also just a block away is another market the lindengracht, great pea soup stand in the middle, also at the end there is a guy who sells the best smoked fish, I can't taste the soup and fish now Lekker!!!!!.
Peace matty

dwarf, I am with you. It was even on my list of must does during my August trip, but I was very lazy on that trip. I will be back in December and it will be on my must do list.
