Although legally tolerated, the following activities are technically illegal... But if you believe in the old saying,'when in Rome, do as the Roman's', then I guess you'll need to stop in an Amsterdam Coffeshop. Although these establishments do sell coffee, 'Coffeeshop' does not describe the primary activity going on in these places. A 'Coffeeshop' in A'dam (and all over the Netherlands) is an establishment that sells, and allows on premises smoking of, cannabis products (marijuana and hashish).

The Leidseplein, a very popular location for the Nightlife. Boom Chicago, the Melkweg, and a lot of bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and 'coffeeshops'are located here. During the warmer months you'll find lots of street entertainers here also.

Boom Chicago. Kinda' like a dinner theater. The theater portion is a semi-improvisational group comedy thing. It's in English but attracts a local and international crowd. They have a couple different 'themed' shows. check their schedule. BTW, I'm told this is the only place you can buy pitchers of beer in A'dam (from my experience this is true).
