Inside | Amsterdam: Club Lebowski, Restaurant Day and an edible wildlife corridor

Time for some good old-fashioned fun. How about a travelling pop-up nightclub with bowlinglanes, (live)music and cocktails? Club Lebowski is temporaraly located in Club Trouw, accommodating three professional bowling lanes in the basement of its building — a former newspaper printing plant. It's an initiative and production by the Dutch companies Triomf and Schaalwerk.

Another Restaurant Day is coming next Sunday (the 16th). Eat traditional Dutch stamppot in a garage on the Prinsengracht at Garagecooking-Avant-ski or on a boat at De Stoempboot. Try some beers with smoked food at Beer goes here in the east of the city. Indonesian food in Oud-Zuid at Omi's Indonesische Rijsttafel. Spanish at La Cuchara Suquet de Peix. And more more more. Plan your route here. For those who prefer to eat alone: Eenmaal is also joining, with its one-person tables.

Now for something green: an edible wildlife corridor. If it's up to Amsterdam-based urban herbologist Lynn Shore, this will be a reality soon. By planting bee-friendly herbs in tree pits, geveltuinen, community orchards and other large or small spaces, the River of Herbs should be created. an eco-friendly alternative medicine cabinet for inhabitants, an edible corridor through the city and a renewed infrastructure for bees.
