De Bakkerswinkel has more shops in town, but this is my favorite: you can have a great lunch here, and they have scones and pies to die for. Located on the cultural hotspot de Westergasfabriek (old gas factory) near the Westerpark, where there are a lot of other bars and restaurants and loads of events.

Great Italian restaurant, but you need to make reservations in advance because it's always full. Not cheap, but not too expensive either.

Last remaining secret Catholic church, now turned into a museum. Located in the oldest part of town, so great when you're exploring that part anyway and you want to taste some history.

Parks & Nature
Iconic park where all the hippies used to sleep in the '60s and '70s, it's still the most used park by Amsterdammers. With some great terraces (check out Het Blauwe Theehuis) in summertime a diverse cultural programma on the outdoor stage in the middle of it.

Shopping
This area of small streets linking the most famous canals is great for shopping, because here are the small, indepent shops. This part of The Jordaan is located inbetween the Raadhuisstraat, the Prinsengracht, the Singel and the Leidsegracht.

Sightseeing
A canal tour is always nice, and the company you choose doesn't really matter. They are mostly located around Central Station. It gives you a whole different perspective on our city, which you can't get on foot.
