Travelling to Amsterdam & Germany with my dad

In March, my dad and I are going to Amsterdam & Western Germany (Osnabruck, Bremen, and Bremerhaven). My dad doesn't drink a whole lot (I do). I don't really like smoking weed anyway (eating weed is pretty cool).

Any suggestions of things to do? I'm really into food and wine. Any can't miss food stuffs? Anything else?

We are probably gonna do some bike riding.

I'd like to do some stuff that's not necessarily super-touristy.

A fun place to eat is the IJ-Kantine, you even get to hop-on a wee boat, behind Amsterdam Centraal Station!

Pannenkoeken (thin, large pancakes with meat/fruit) are always excellent in Amsterdam. My favorite place is Studio 2, right at the floating flower market. http://www.lunchcafe-studio2.nl/English.html

I always make it a point to grab breakfast there most mornings when I'm visiting.

I went to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, I don't really like art, but it was cool to see some of the paintings. I wasn't really interested in the usual Amsterdam tourist places, but walking around the canals is nice. Heineken museum?

Bremerhaven has an emigration museum, and some shipping/u-boat stuff.

The area around Museumplein and Van Baerlestraat is really pretty, probably one of my favourite places to walk around along with Neiuwmarkt and Overtoom.

Amsterdam here. There's plenty of good restaurants, but expect the price to be accordingly. There is good stuff to be had on the Albert Cuyp street - not the market, but the extension of the street with the same name. Braque has a decent menu and some good wines too. Here is the menu, to get an impression. This is mid-price stuff. You can go up market or downmarket from there.

Thanks! This is exactly the type of place I would eat. Got any more?

There's more like that in the same street, but also Chinese, Indian and Turkish places. It's just outside the town center, so you will not find a whole lot of tourists there - although the market itself is a popular destination. Have fun!
