We are introducing our new young blogger, Allie Yusim, who shares her experiences from the latest trip to Europe.

Although Amsterdam has a huge variety of unique sights to see, the food alone is enough of a reason to come. From cheese to pancakes, Amsterdam will not fail to excite your taste buds.      

Who says that there is no free lunch? On almost every street is a cheese shop where anyone can come in and sample dozens of different cheeses, from smoked cheese with ham to aged goat cheese. There is red cheese, green cheese, cumin cheese, herb cheese, and much, much more. In addition, different flavors of mustards are available as delicious dipping sauces.      

Pancakes. Amsterdam is a pancake heaven. The pancakes are as big as crepes, but a bit thicker, or you can get a sort of mini- pancake called poffertjes. You can get them covered in Nutella, berries, sugar, or all of the above! Or you can have them with eggs, ham, and cheese for a savory snack. Think this will make a great breakfast? Nope, sorry. In the Netherlands, pancakes are eaten for lunch or dinner. In fact, most cafés aren't even open before nine

 
Can't get enough of those pancakes? A pancake river cruise might be a perfect option! Imagine, cruising down the river with unlimited delicious pancakes and toppings! The ball pit in the boat makes this a perfect.

Want to get away from the touristy stuff? Why not go down to the Saturday morning farmer’s market on Noordermarkt  where you can grab all the fresh picnic food you can think of!

If you get tired of all of this exotic food and want a good-old burger, the Burger Bar,conveniently located across the street from Tuschinski Theater is a great place to eat. There, you can get amazing fresh burgers and, of course, fries with mayo instead of ketchup.

With all this incredible food, you’ll definitely never go hungry in Amsterdam!
