Plaatboef is a Rotterdam institution for vinyl records. In 1981 the first store opened at the Maretakstraat by Dennis Meijer, and moved to the Nieuwe Binnenweg 179 in 1983. That was the former location of the famous "Bertus" record shop. The ever growing merchandise amount forced a move to the present location at the Nieuwe Binnenweg 81A. But even here 30 square meters floor space were added in 2006.
As a result the present shop has three floor levels with some tricky step changeovers.
There's something for everyone. Some cartons are not sorted, so better schedule some searching time when visiting.
Business hours:
Mo: Noon - 6PM
Tu-Th: 10AM - 6PM
Fr: 10AM - 9PM
Sa: 10AM - 5PM
Su: Noon - 5PM
What to buy: Records!
What to pay: From Euro 5 for albums.

The West-Kruiskade continues onto the 1e Middelandstraat where you will find a number of Indian clothing shops. They are all extremely colourful and glittering with handsewn beads and decoration.
What to buy: Beautiful colourful sarees, evening gowns, childrens festive clothes, shoes, Indian jewelry, scarfs...
I bought 2 beautiful fabrics in the end-of-sale. A very large green scarf with lovely dark red knotted fringing, and a beautiful saree purple and green. Both were € 10 a piece. I think I will use the saree as a table cloth, as it is slightly damaged and not really fit to wear it as a saree. But beautiful nonetheless.
What to pay: A saree or evening dress is from about € 65 to € 250. You can also buy fabric and have it sewn into a ready made saree for € 30 extra.
