Five reasons to visit Oud-West, Amsterdam

The food

Levain et le Vin

has the best cinnamon buns in town.

Fijnkost

is on my street in Oud-West and is so underrated – it's the cutest neighborhood restaurant, with the yummiest food.

The hotel

The

Pillows Hotel

is reason enough to stay in Oud-West – it's so cozy and extremely chic.

The store

I love the

Gekaapt

concept store. I usually pop in once a week or so, to see what’s new. Their kid's store is pretty fun, too.

The thing to do

Oud-West's

Vondelpark

has an entrance at the end of my street. It’s the greatest luxury – especially when you don’t have an outside area of your own. It feels like my really big backyard, that I just happen to share with other people. I go there every day and in summer, it's

the

spot for a picnic.

The culture

The

Kahmann Gallery

is not actually in Oud-West, but it's

so

good that it warrants a mention here. As we're venturing out of the neighborhood a little, it's also worth visiting the

Stedelijk Museum

, my favorite museum in Amsterdam.
