While going back from the Brouwerij 't IJ i saw a market , not a famous one , i didnt read about this market.
It was full of local people , almost no tourists.
The market is located on Dapperstraat (Dapper street) and it is full of Surinamese, Antillian, Turkish, and Moroccan sellers (although dutch sellers also).

You will find here food , shoes , clothes and more.

The Albert Cuyp market (of which more later) really is well worth a visit. As you wander, taking in the local atmosphere (deeply-inhaled nasal breaths as you pass the cheese stalls, breath out as you pass the fish). It now becomes that time when you start to feel the roof of your mouth sticking to your tongue (or vice versa) after the overindulgences of the evening before, a watering hole becomes a sudden necessity, rather than a mere digression, and there are worse places to digress in than Cafe Legendz - brilliantly marketed and it does what it says on the tin!

It was the blackboard (the one on the front page) that caught my eye, my feet refusing to continue despite a direct order from the "rational" left lobe. Then the outside boards delivered the coup-de-grace - FEET 1 BRAIN 0 - Ha! Good old feet, never let me down ;)

I suppose this is a modern equivalent of the traditional "brown cafe" in as much as it's not actually brown. The barman, who happened to be Italian, having arrived via the Channel Islands, lived up to the propoganda, passing the time of day with a bit of travel "shooting the bull", giving directions to an English couple who popped in looking for a "coffee", and generally being genial with all and sundry.

If you happen to be passing, before or after your haring broodje, digress in and say Hi!

Dapper Market - Amsterdam's True People's Market

Amsterdam’s Albert Cuyp Market may have an international reputation, but here in the Dapperstraat you can find today’s really authentic Amsterdam street market. Popular, also according to current criteria, amongst recent immigrant merchants, who serve new Amsterdammers.

And more than that, the Dapper Market is a warm market. The merchants from around the globe play an all important role in the success of this booming Open Air Market.

If you enjoyed Soho in London, or the Village in New York, you'll feel right at home in the Dapperbuurt neighnourhood! The Dapperbuurt with its famous Dapper Market is just the place for you. Find your fashion, little treasures, or just spend some time browsing. The more you visit, the longer you'll want to stay. Enjoy a meal at one of the many international restaurants in the neighbourhood.

The fabulous Museum at the Royal Tropical Intitute (KIT), and the famous Royal Zoo of Amsterdam Artis are both at a stone's throw from the Dapper Market.

The Dapper Market experience is indeed a very international one. According to Dutch national daily NRC Handelsblad the Dapper Market is so successful, because of the demographics it so accurately serves.

As metioned I'm a sucker for town squares. I'm also a sucker for local markets. Although we didn't buy anything, we had a great time looking around and having small bites to eat from the food stalls. It's not in the main part of town, but definitely within walking distance.

Last time we went to Amsterdam we downloaded an iPhone app called AmsterdamFUN which helped us easily find all the best museums, cafes, bike tours, snack bar, etc. It helped us discover fun places we would never have found - such as amazing markets, canal bike rentals, and more!

On a Saturday evening

Albert Cyup market is kinda to the south of the central area of Amsterdam. Its closed on Sundays so plan accordingly. Its a long street and a bit congested for walking through but you get decent bargains(not so much for me as in India you can get similar stuff at same or lower price in trendy departmental stores)..plus some good street food like fresh waffles. I particularlyy liked some Vietnamese roll being soldd for some 1 euro or something which was yummy. I also spotted Peter Jan's store .. I am not sure if it belongs to our VT member but I guess I did... :)

Nice Open Marketplace

If you are looking to stay long in Amsterdam and are planning to cook your own food, then this is a great place to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits. They also have some real good stalls for fishes and chicken, although I think that the fish is better in the Dapperstraat Market.

Apart from the eatables for the whole week, you can also shop for several other things here like quilts, blankets, clothes, etc. One can also get into the souvenier shops to get himself a Dutch windmill or buy a second-hand bicycle from here, but they seemed to be pretty expensive for second-hands.

Café / Bars Albert Cuyp area

This is one of Amsterdam’s trendy areas & as I was staying at my friends Saraphati Plaza suite all these places were on the doorstep. Many of these places have outside seating so you can enjoy your beer come rain or shine, at 11pm they no longer serve outside. Some of the nice places you can have a drink at are Krull Sarphatiparkstraat, De Duiwel, Or the Green Butterfly. A lot of the café / bars serve Belgium beers & Kriek (Cherry beer) is one of my favourites and of course they serve Heineken but usually in halfs so if you want a pint you better request it.

Also for reference the dutch requirement is to have at least a 2 finger head on your beer so don’t complain about that. Also bear in mind that to eat & drink in this area it may in fact be more expensive then eating in other districts more central.

Shopping for souvenirs

Well, the easiest location is Dam sqaure and the shops lining the street from central station towards Damrak. You have lot of choices in many shops.

An economic option is to buy them at Albert Cuyp street market. Here also, you find the enormous keychains, fridge magnets, candies, Delft showpieces, T-shirts etc.
In one of the shops, I also got an additional souvenir as gift because I purchased lot of items
;-)

When u feel cold or tired, goto the Bagels and Beans cafe at the end of the street. You find people of all ages relaxing amidst a noisy chatting environment.
