De Pijp Amsterdam

[@EileenAldis]

Quick poll: would you rather have the hot chocolate, the mint tea, or the Heineken?

[@toobydude41]

Well it's easy to eliminate the beer LOL. The hot chocolate and mint tea is a toss up. Hmm..I love all kinds of tea that's for sure. I've tried mint ICED tea, and I guess what you had was the hot variety..so ok I'll go for that! Then the hot cocoa comes later :)

[@trishwilson7517]

THAT mint tea specifically. It looked delightful :)

[@chrisbutler6258]

Heineken first by a long shot...then the mint tea, and lastly hot chocolate but only on a cold dreary day. Great video again.

[@DaphneXplores]

Hot Chocolate!!!

[@ZoeyArielle]

Mint Tea! 😍

[@beltfed1]

Great video! You guys were having fun… I was right there with you! That Cafe Blonde was a real find! ….I’d take a hit of Tony’s Chocolonely for sure! There’s always a place for a Heineken though…Amiright? The markets were fantastic…Even the fish! Love seeing the food in different places! What will they make for dinner? An outstanding vibe from this video guys…! De Pijp was hella fun!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! The Tony Chocolonely's chocolate was a real find - my friend who lives in Amsterdam first introduced me to it :) I love the markets too and seeing all the fresh ingredients laid out. Glad you liked this video so much!

[@nancyjohnson9247]

Love it! Think I'll go for the hot chocolate. You find the best neighbourhoods to explore. Always fun to see it through your eyes.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! I love exploring and finding new 'favourite' spots :)

[@lalitalune]

Love Mondrian! Thanks so much for the info, Marc!

[@EileenAldis]

I knew you'd appreciate the art history!! :)

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

This is a good video. Lot of interesting stuff there, and some of that food looks awesome. I wont lie though I'd have to at least check out the coffeeshops there. I've read and heard about them all my life, even though you can get it here. I of course would also want to see as much of the Netherlands as possible.

[@EileenAldis]

Glad you enjoyed it! This part of Amsterdam is fun to explore.

[@lalitalune]

I would love a cup of mint tea. I have a huge sweet tooth, but there's something so cool and refreshing about fresh mint tea. Great video!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks!! It's hard to choose between the mint tea and the hot chocolate. Both delicious :)

Es un lugar de ensueño, lo visité en Junio del año pasado cumpliendo un sueño, es bien bonito el barrio, gracias por la información brindada. Groeten uit Lima Perú 🇵🇪 nederlandse honderd procent 🇳🇱

[@EileenAldis]

Sueño es la palabra correcta. Tenía la misma sensación desde que había visto tantas fotos y videos de ella, pero nunca antes había visto. Me alegro de que la hayas pasado tan bien también.

[@rizwanhaider3688]

Nice video clip good job 👍🏻🌹👍🏻

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks :)

[@rizwanhaider3688]

Eileen Aldis welcome you sooo much 😊

[@toobydude41]

Tony Chocolonely...what a name, love it! And loved the video-what else is new!! Also you are quite good at hot-scotching LOL!!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Scott!! I thought the same thing about the name! I had to ask for it to be repeated the first time because I was sure I'd misheard :) Who knew I could hopscotch without spilling my drink?? Such a useful skill haha

[@knottyshu]

Thankyou. What's the music/album playing in the background? You couldn't have done better with it.

[@RobSoskop]

The large fish stall is actually one of the most famous in the Nethrlands. High quality restaurants buy their fish there... and you can just sit there and eat an enormous variety of fish as street food.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you for sharing that!

[@vznbdbhxjjs2230]

Nice video',, awesome!!",..

[@EileenAldis]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@vannesaguzman9459]

Hi Eileen,We'll be staying in this neighborhood when we are in Amsterdam. I would definitely go for the hot chocolate. My husband will go for the beer. I love your videos!

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Vannesa! Thanks so much!! I'm so excited for you and I'm sure you'll enjoy it :) You'll have to let me know what other cool spots you find to add to my list for another visit.

[@shinesbrighter]

I totally forgot the De Stijl movement was from the Netherlands! Some history you learn in art school just slips you after haha! What art did Marc study? I would've loved to try that hot chocolate! Great video, as always! ❤️

[@EileenAldis]

The hot chocolate was SO GOOD, Nicole! I liked the whole vibe of that cute cafe. Happy you enjoyed this video :) It was a neat area of the city. Marc studied media arts and digital technologies at art school but it included studying all different sorts of arts, which is cool. Did you go to art school too?

[@thomaslucia3059]

Hey Eileen! Found another of your videos (about my favorite city!) I have only been on the rim of de Pijp during my other visits, but I think I'll venture further on my next trip. And as for Tony Chocolonely : when in Amsterdam I have one bar of his chocolate EVERY evening. They're great!! :-)

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Thomas! What a perfect way to end a day in Amsterdam, eh? Try the hot chocolate if you get a chance and let me know if you make new discoveries on your trip - would love to hear any recommendations! I have a video playlist from the Netherlands by the way :) Not sure if you've seen it but here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ol6siaOMdpeAjNU (all the Amsterdam neighbourhood profiles are in there too). You must be getting excited for your trip!

[@thomaslucia3059]

Hey! Thanks for the info...I did NOT know you had the AMS video playlist - I have to check it out! Unfortunately, I am lactose-intolerant, so I can't try the hot chocolate :-( And I used to be a HUGE hot chocolate and ice cream fan! But I have found great alternatives ;-)

[@thomaslucia3059]

I am already subscribed to your playlist...I just need to look at more of them :-) I am SO eager to get back to Amsterdam. I've started a list of places to visit, and Blond Amsterdam is my latest addition! Would be great to meet, if we ever happen to be in the same city!

[@EileenAldis]

Gotcha! Yes, there are so many delicious alternatives - my favourite for non-dairy ice cream are ones made with banana or coconut milk. Great that you've got the playlist now! Yes, perhaps our travelling paths will cross one day :)

[@jf6395]

a glass of Champagne at Twenty Third bar on the top floor (23rd) of hotel Okura some of the best views of the entire city! or a beer at a bar at Gerard Duplein square area 1072 VE... or at night... but only early like 5 pm cafe mazzeltof gets kinda packed later

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Jim! You have such great suggestions! There are so many things to do in Amsterdam. I'll need to return :)

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Well, actually, the traditional Latin Quarter in Amsterdam is the "Jordaan" but the Pijp is certainly the new kid on the block...

[@Dream331]

Eileen I’m binge watching your videos lol Can you tell me, is the De Hallen area near this Albert market and that place where you bought the hot chocolate? 😂👍🏽

[@EileenAldis]

I'm so glad to hear that! 😁I'd guess De Hallen is about a thirty to forty-ish minute walk from the Albert Cuyp Market/Cafe Blonde area (called de Pijp). Oh man, now I'm craving a hot chocolate made with the Tony Chocolonely chocolate... 🤤🍫

[@Paul_C]

Guess you did visit Utrecht and Bergeijk if Mondriaan has your interest.

[@EileenAldis]

Marc has been to Utrecht but I haven't. Would love to though!

[@Paul_C]

@@EileenAldis maybe next time 😀

[@EileenAldis]

@@Paul_C I hope so :)

[@Smallpotato1965]

the Albert Cuyp market has been a fixture of de Pijp since 1905

[@alteredillusions100]

Good video. I wish it was longer :( how many days did you stay in the Netherlands?

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! More Amsterdam videos coming this week. We were there 11 days :)

[@alteredillusions100]

My first time to Amsterdam I visited 8 days. My most recent was 2 days in Amsterdam and 2 in Rotterdam. When I go back I will do more days and more cities the Netherlands.

[@EileenAldis]

It would be really nice to have a whole 8 days in Amsterdam to really sink in. So much good wandering. What other Dutch cities are on your list for your next visit?

[@alteredillusions100]

Top of the list is Giethoorn. Other cities, Edam, Utrecht, The Hague, Delft, Maastricht Breda.

[@RottenRonnies]

Awesome.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Ron!!

[@arnomeesters1]

please dont ever say dankeshone to a dutch person again, ..its german, here in holland we say DANK JE or BEDANKT

[@EileenAldis]

I assume you're trying to say 'danke schön' - I didn't say that in this video so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Ik ben daar geboren in de pijp maar ik zou er voor geen goud meer willen wonen vreselijk 😖
