Building on our fun times wandering around the antique shop earlier this week, we went to explore Amsterdam’s Noodermarkt. This is a fun and busy street market on the corner of Prisengracht and Westerstraat in the Jordaan area. On Saturday, it’s a farmers market with a little bit of flea market mixed in. On Monday, it’s a big flea market with lots of textiles, and a little bit of farmer’s market mixed in – either way its an opportunity to fork over some more euros for some more stuff.
We picked up some bread and goat cheese, and poked around the rest of the stalls. They had a ton of mushrooms, a fish booth, a bunch of veggies and grains. The produce here is all “ecological” (organic), and was priced similar to the local chain markets.
After milling through the crowded booths for a while, we walked down Westerstraat. We had lunch at Cafe de Blaffende Vis, and it was awesome! Relatively cheap sandwiches, great desserts (I had apple pie – heck yeah!), good atmosphere – we will definitely be back for more.
Overall, just another great day experiencing a little bit of the goodness that is Amsterdam!
What is new from your side of the world? Haven’t had an update for a while.
I know, we spent too much time working this week! I just finished my Westerkerk post, and we’re hoping to make it to the flower auction place this week – we’ll see though!
