booty at the

. Strike out east from here down
Eerste van Swindenstraat to find the
Dappermarkt
(

)
. Reflecting the Oost's
diverse immigrant population, it's a heart-warming mix of people, food and multipacks of
socks.
Continue east and the road eventually turns into Javastraat, where old Dutch fish
shops and working-class bars sit adjacent to Moroccan and Turkish groceries.
The exotic strip offers prime grazing; sweet tooths will appreciate the divine bakeries. As-
suming you're still hungry, keep going and you'll run into Javaplein for lunch at rustic
Wilde Zwijne

. Or chill out nearby at the cafe of
Studio K

.
Dinner in the greenhouse at
De Kas
(

is a one-of-a-kind meal: re-
serve ahead. Something mod will most likely be going on all night at either
Trouw
(

or
Canvas
(

)
, two arty bar-club combos tucked in old
warehouses. Then again, you could always fritter away the evening watching boats float
on the Amstel at
De Ysbreeker
