Hey guys,

I've been a long-time lurker on this forum, now looking to get involved. I'm a 22 y/o journalism student from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. As there is no one to share my passion with down here, I am hoping you guys can all help fill that void ;)

For now, I thought I'd say hi!

Thanks guys,

@TMS: I would like to try to avoid any prison sentences if I can. However, I'd be happy to show anyone the good spots if they ever come over here..

I am, uh, told that Barney's Breakfast Bar used to be a favorite, but they got way too big. I have, uh, heard that Rokerij is good. Where do you go? I also heard they're going to ban tourists from enjoying?

Rokerij is pretty decent! Most coffeeshops in the Dam Square area rip off tourists for up to 4x the usual price. Dampkring is probably your best bet in Central Amsterdam.
A tourist ban has been in the works since I moved here, however nothing has materialized yet. The city seems to be more concerned about limiting the hard stuff..

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

No... they're just trying to keep property values up by keeping people like me out

I don't think that's such a good idea....
