It's quite difficult to find high quality authentic Chinese food in Amsterdam. Luckily, we discovered this hidden gem tucked away on the Rokin! Don't miss the Sichuan green beans and marinated cucumbers.

These days, a simple manicure is not enough. If you spend a few minutes scrolling through your Instagram explore page, you’ll see tons of incredibly detailed, design manicures. Want one of your own? Book an appointment at Lakwerk, Amsterdam’s first nail art salon. Though any of the nail techs are terrific, there’s truly nothing like an appointment with founder & nail art wiz Jessica Scholten.

One of the most typically Dutch things you can eat is herring - plain and simple.  This particular shop sells some of the finest herring you can find in the city.

If you’ve been in any major city in the past five or ten years, then you have certainly heard of Soho House. The Amsterdam outpost of this hip, international chain is just as cool & thoughtfully decorated as the rest. The rooms are (relatively) reasonably priced, & there’s a gym, movie theatre & rooftop pool to make your stay all that much more exciting.
