This Netto is not too far away from the Netto location in Papenburg but it is far superior. The…read morebottle return is on your right as you enter. There is a recycling center on the left where you can recycle paper, cardboard, plastic and batteries, which is convenient. I like this location because service is very friendly, like unusually friendly. Almost everyone who works there is very pleasant. There is a decent selection of glass-bottled beer, not the plastic beer you'll find at other discount chains. The last time I was there, they had Ben & Jerry's ice cream - multiple flavors! What a pleasant surprise! This location is also quieter and less crowded than the Papenburg location which is why I prefer it.

A massive mall nearly attached to the Central Station in Utrecht, Netherlands. It's a gateway to…read morethe city of Utrecht from the station. Being from The United States, I must admit it is quite an impressive mall. I used to have minor panic attacks walking through this to get to Utrecht Center City with all the people. Now that the Corona measures are in place, it's a lot more tamed. The parking garage is high-end. Bathrooms are attended and it has the largest bicycle parking facility in The Netherlands. It's more than a "mall" but a destination. Still generally the same stores you find in center cities all over Holland, but more of a selection. Everything you need and very few closed locations. Worth a visit. I go here when the weather is terrible outside to get some steps too! Gezellig!

Food Hall 88 is part of a neighborhood revitalization project, and I have to say that this place is…read moregreat! The town has essentially taken a hanger that was part of a railroad yard and converted it into what many would consider foodie heaven. Inside, you will find food kiosks setup throughout - each offering something different. There was Vietnamese food, seafood, ribs, french fries, sandwiches, hot dogs, a wine bar and a local micro-brewery that served up one of the best IPA's I have ever had. There was even a dessert kiosk where you could grab a cappuccino and a pastry after eating dinner. Food Hall 88 was only open one week prior to my visit, but you would never have guessed that walking through it. Everything appeared to be operating smoothly and there was a pretty good turnout of people - word of this place has definitely hit the streets. If you are in the mood to sample a lot of great food, this is your place. The portions are small enough that you can hit several vendors and the atmosphere here is really nice.
