A kilometre of stalls along Albert Cuypstraat: stroopwafels pressed while you wait, herring, cheese, fabric and household goods.
This is where De Pijp does its shopping, not a tourist reconstruction of one, and the mix of produce, textiles and cheap electronics reflects that. Eat as you walk: a warm stroopwafel off the iron, raw herring with onion if you are willing, fresh stamppot in winter. Closed on Sundays, which is the single fact worth knowing before you plan around it.
