Société Wunderbar

A new bar in Amsterdam.
Located between Rokin and Kalverstraat, not really the hippest area of town. Or my favorite place to be.

Yet, it has potential because it stands out. There is no competition for this kind of bar focussing on a young hip local crowd on the west side of Rokin inside the canal belt.
There is a terrace, it's spacious inside, the inside long and narrow, so it will get cozy without having to be crowded.

The fake rock behind the bar doesn't do the place justice.
However, it feels like a bar that could be anywhere in the world, which is a good thing, these kind of places are rare in Amsterdam.

Liked the wine.

We will definately have to check out the food.

To be continued.

Pure Markt - Park Frankendael

Things to do in Amsterdam on a lazy sunday afternoon!

Park Frankendael is a very nice park in Amsterdam Oost.
With the famous restaurant "de Kas"  and the bar/restaurant/venue Merkelbach located in the park cullinary delight seems to be always present.
When Pure Markt sets up in Frankendael Park it gets even better.
Seasonal delicacies from all over Europe are sold in a huge collection of little stands.
Bring your picnic blanket, your friends, your kids and enjoy park life while enjoying delicious dishes and drinks from the market.
Stroll around the stands who sell sustainable products, clothing, jewelry, furniture, ornaments, (organic) food products...

Entrance is free.
There is live music.
There is usually stuff for kids to do (make-up artists, carrousels, playgrounds...).
It's laid back, not overcrowded.

Recommended:
- a Butcher selling only pork products
- Pinxtos
- Hungarian bubbles
