Just a quick post about a shop I fell in love with while we were briefly in Holland. This place wasn't the cheapest place in the world but it was open late and it was stocked with a lot of fresh produce and not crowded with people who were . . . uh . . . out of sorts. :)
Crackerfarm and I went out on many outings trying to find things to do and places to eat while we were in Amsterdam. We were there longer than anywhere else on this most recent tour. I've been told to stay away from restaurants that don't have many people sitting in them during peak hours. But sometimes you just have to go with what feels right.
On this everlasting quest to find good food in a tourist trap, I was sitting at a gigantic bar in the Leidse Square. A bit deflated with the amount of rain that has already fallen and even more so about how much more was yet to come, Pete, Cracker, and me were attempting to stay dry. We had been to this bar before and the service wasn't all that great but we were bound to be persistent enough until they were forced to like us. It worked! We then asked the server what her favorite place was to eat in town, we were directed to the Stoop & Stoop Eetcafe.
