As my new favorite place in Amsterdam is the Hallen, my goal is to try every restaurant and stand there. Halte 3 is the new Brasserie in the Hallen. It is not that big with the bar centered in the middle, which makes it seem like a pretty small place, but actually it has a lot of tables.
There are opening new food markets everywhere; El Nacional in Barcelona, de Markthal in Rotterdam and de Foodhallen in Amsterdam. And since I’m a big fan of little bites instead of big platters of food, food markets are the perfect place to have some dinner and drinks.
One thing for sure; there cannot be enough Buvette containers at the Rhein in Basel. On my second trip to Basel I found the second Buvette container. If I would find a new one every time I’m in Basel I would be perfectly happy!
Ready to Fish organizes a Friday afternoon drink every first Friday of the summer months in their brandstore. Friday the 1st of August I joined to enjoy some fashion, music and drinks. While I was sipping my Aperol Spritz I got spotted by Fashionscene.
Besides its beautiful name you have to go to the SWAN market in Rotterdam because it is such a fun place. It is located at the Museumpark in summer and not a big market at all, just nice and cozy. The entrance for the market is only 1 euro and for that you can enjoy a lot of things. Shop at the stalls for handmade bags, vintage clothes or local made food. Or grab a coffee and carrot cake or beer and hamburger to eat at the picnic tables and enjoy the live music.
This French wine bar is a place to enjoy some good wines in a little bar in the midst of the Central Hong Kong craziness. Share a cheese platter with your friends or just hang at the bar to have a French conversation with the bartender. And if you’re lucky they take out the Polaroid camera and you will get a spot on their wall.
July I spend with my friends in America, the west coast of America. We spend 3 weeks in our big American car, going from campsite to campsite; barbequing, making camp fires, hiking in the Grand Canyon and Yosemite Park. It was an amazing experience.
