Sugar Run: Nine Streets to Oude Hoogstraat
A classic smoke on Oude Leliestraat, then two quick sweet-and-salty stops on the walk east across Dam.
This one is about small stops rather than a long sit-down. Grey Area, just west of Dam on Oude Leliestraat, is tight and busy, so plan to stay a while and then move. From there it is about six minutes east across the square to Rene's Croissanterie on Damstraat for something sweet and cheap, then three more minutes to Fabel Friet on Oude Hoogstraat for fries. One straight line east, easy to cut short at any stop.
