Rembrandtplein
Last week I was introduced to Rembrandtplein, so this
weekend I tried it on my own. I found it right where I left it (as if I can
remember any of that thanks to my Irish tour guide) conveniently close to Hajenuis,
where I often enjoy delicious Cuban see-gars.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn 1606-1669
Rembrandtplein, named for the
Dutch master, is a public square (as the name plein implies). Surrounded quite
literally by nearly every form of Dutch entertainment, this is one happening
place.
Theater Tuschinski
A mere fifty yards eastward is the magnificent Theater Tuschinski.
Built in 1921 at a cost of four million guilders, Theater Tuschinski is
considered one of the most beautiful cinemas in the world. (Although my plan
for the day included a flick, that didn’t happen thanks to some sort of
gathering—too many people for me).
St. James’s Gate looked like the perfect site for my
afternoon sustenance, and as you might imagine, Guiness was the beverage of
choice. (Hey Jess, this one might be on the short list!)
