Dining in the dark. All waiters are blind, and serve you dinner in a completely dark restaurant. A very weird, but actually quite fun experience.

Situated in De Pijp, this is a place where people sunbathe and have picnics in the summer.

Canvas
A restaurant-bar-club, this urban and edgy den in a former newspaper office is a great place to go out at night. With nice views of the city and a varied music repertoire (alternative, jazz, funk), it's one of the hidden secrets too often overlooked by foreign visitors. Try one of the cocktails.

Albert Cuyp Market
Largest street market in Amsterdam, and the best-known street market in the country. It is iconic for the "De Pijp" neighborhood and its working-class inhabitants. There is something for everyone here, whether you're looking for delicious Dutch treats, clothing or second-hand cameras. There's also a wide array of stores that cater to the city's Surinamese, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan inhabitants, giving the market and neighborhood a strong multicultural feel. Can get very crowded, so watch out for pickpockets.
