Every now and then, in my travels, I run into amazing places to hang out. This place was a converted warehouse in Rotterdam harbor called Fenix Food Factory . Inside were a variety of places to buy artisanal type food and drink.  The picture above was taken inside Kaapse Brouwers brewery, offering at least 50 craft beers (and live music). You can partake in cheese or salami platters, drink gourmet coffee, eat food from Morocco ……  The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. Really, really cool.

Beyond Amsterdam

When visiting the Netherlands, Rotterdam doesn’t always come to mind. However, this is a mistake. It is a modern, clean and really interesting city that you should visit. Significantly impacted by World War II, the city is very different to Amsterdam.  This “food factory” is located near to the point that the ships departed when they transported so many immigrants to the USA earlier in the 20th Century. I am a regular visitor to the Netherlands and I never tire of it. For more information on what to see and go in Rotterdam click here.
