The best fries for me remain in Amsterdam, at a place called “de Belg,” across from the landmark Tuschinski theater off Rembrantplein.

Maybe that’s where people got the idea the best friets are in Belgium. ;)

Berlage, who designed every last detail, down to the furniture, wallpaper, and—of particular interest to yourself—even the typeface used all over the building.

You can rent quite reasonable workspaces there. It’s worth taking a tour of the workspaces if just to see these hidden details you don’t get as a tourist. If you contact me, I can refer you to the contact person there.

White label, black letters, red dot, blue graphic sun image. It’s thick and won’t run into your eyes. Apply 30 minutes before going out :-)

Welkom in Nederland.
