The Dutch fast food culture is known for the 'Kroket' (Crunchy on the outside, meat ragout on the inside). FEBO is the Duch counterpart of McDonald's and you should definitely try a kroket there. They are also known for a phenomenon referred to as 'getting food from the wall'. A must-try as well! (p.s. The Airbnb guide shows an incorrect location. It's located next to the Etos and Albert Heijn across the street.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is as Dutch as a bar gets. In Holland we call this a 'Bruine Kroeg', which translate to Brown Pub. I guess this is because of the thick layer of brown yuck that was caused by the heavy smoking that used to be normal in bars and pubs. Today, there is (almost) bar were smoking is allowed.

There is the Leidseplein (plein = square) and the Rembrandtplein. Both have a collection of cafes and bars. My recommendation would be the Schiller Cafe.

The whole of the Jaagpad (especially towards the 'New Lake' or Nieuwe Meer, is worth a walk. The north takes you past a variety of housebats, towards the South you will see a large lake.
