[we love amsterdam]

<< explore >>as we sat down to create the second isssue of Denim & Supply magazine, our workmates were busy planning our first store in Europe, at Kalverstraat 55 in Amsterdam. in honor of their hard work and our love for this bohemian city, we asked travelers and locals to share their favorite spots

:: trouw ::this restaurant-nightclub-art space is locat-ed in the former headquarters of Trouw, a daily Dutch newspaper. old printing presses and other odds-and-ends now serve as decor, but the breaking news is the menu, which features Mediterranean inspired dishes that truly represent the diversity of the region--from Greek and Turkish to North African and Middle Eastern. adjacent is one of Amsterdam’s liveliest music venues, which hosts cutting edge electronic musicians and boasts its own record label

:: culinaire werkplaats ::looking at art on an empty stomach is never good. luckily, the folks at Culinaire Werk-plaats describe their workshop as “the inter-section of food and art.” the menu is light and basic, and food is pay-as-you-wish. the wine list [which does come with prices] offers three options: wine, posh wine, and super-posh wine. and if you’re still hungry, you can purchase a garment from CW’s line of tasty and fashionable edible clothing.

:: cafe latei ::this two-story cafe puts the shop in coffee shop. Latei’s eclectic collection of vintage goodies [posters, toys, bags, knicknacks] as well as its decore [from porcelain chande-liers to mismatched cutlery to retro chairs] are all for sale. locals and tourists alike can be found in the cafe’s various nooks and crannies, sipping on “koffie verkeerd” [milky coffee] and enjoying Latei’s pastries, sandwhiches, soups, vegetarian Indian cuisine and signature applie pie--considered the best in the city.

:: kulter ::billed as a “proeflokaal” [tasting room], Kulter is an intimate artist-run gallery space/collective nestled in the increasingly arty Bos en Lommer neighborhood. Kul-ter’s focus is on the collaborative creative process, with an emphasis on bridging the gap between art, performance, music, and text. established artists are shown next to emerging artists, locals next to interna-tionals. refreshingly laid-back, guests are encouraged to interact with artists, and free homemade bread and soup are served

:: smart project space ::it’s fitting that this multi=disciplinary arts venue is housed in a former Pathalogical Anatomical Laboratory, as it possesses a decidedly experimental quality. founded in 1994 by Una Henry and located in Amsterdam’s Oud West neighborhood, the impressive building is a one-stop shop for the creatively curious. the space contains a movie theater, an auditorium, a lec-ture hall, a gallery [often artist-curated], studios, an art bookshop, and a cafe that features dissection tables.

:: cafe sluizer ::if it’s cloudy, drizzly and generally gloomy outside, head to Cafe Sluizer for some of Amsterdam’s best comfort food. since 1967 Sluizer has been serving reasonably priced delicious fare to its devoted regulars (think beef bourguignon, mosselen-friet or fried fish, and lots of vegetarian options]. around the corner from Rembrandtplein, the decor is simple yet homey--heavy on dark wood and Dutch art. after eating, head across the street to Concerto, a massive record store with an impressive jazz selection.

<< bands we dig >> :: the ting tings ::since bursting onto the scene in 2008 with chart topping hits like “That’s Not My Name” and “Shut Up and Let Me Go,” the British dance-pop duo The Ting Tings have been performing to sold-out crowds coast-to-coast, shore-to-shore. while much of the past several years are a blur of rigorous itineraries, singer Katie White says that she and her co-Ting Ting Jules De Martino do get to do some exploring from time to time. “when we get to each city, if at all pos-sible, we try and escape and do our

own thing,” she says.

a good way to do that, Katie’s found, is on two wheels. “recently, I rented a bike in paris, and a group of us were riding around one

// 11 //

night. we rode through the Arc de Triomph and got to the Eiffel Tower at midnight--exactly when they turned the lights on. it was quite amazing.” when it comes to the most excit-able fans, Katie singles out the French. “in Paris, when you get people crowd-surfing, the guys will come on stage, kiss me on both cheeks, and run off. as for the cutuest men, she says, “in Nor-way everyone is just beautiful.”

when it comes to nightlife, Katie says Ibiza [where the band is cur-rently rehearsing for an upcoming tour in support of their much an-ticipated follow-up] can’t be beat. “when we’re working, we’re not out partying so much,” she explains.

“but when we were here about a year ago, we had a crazy time--there was absolutely no sleep on that trip. we went to clubs, and then barbecues at 6am. after three days, we just collapsed.”
