De Pijp

De Pijp grew as a dense workers' quarter and has never lost its appetite, the Albert Cuypmarkt has run down its central street for over a century, and the surrounding blocks are thick with cafés, bakeries and small kitchens from every direction. The square around the Sarphatipark fills with people the moment the weather allows. It is busy and slightly bohemian without trying to be, the kind of place where a quiet morning coffee and a late natural-wine table belong to the same street. Heineken's old brewery sits at the edge as a reminder of what built it.
