Pekmarkt is a street market that is open every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9-5 located on Van der Pekstraat in Amsterdam-Noord. It is a short ferry ride and a walk or bike ride from the Central Station. The former street market (Mosveldmarkt) on the Mosveld moved to the recently renovated Van der Pekstraat. Friday is generally a Farmers Market. The market is mixed with food and non-food products on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You will find chefs from neighboring restaurants and residents from the area shopping for vegetables, fruit, eggs, cheese, fish, bread, nuts, flowers, and candy. There are vendors selling Dutch fries, fried fish, smoked fish, falafel, and in the winter fresh stroopwafels. (Look for the hot-from-the oven fresh Appelflap or Apple turnovers! Also, the weespermoppen or soft almond cookies are a favorite!) There are vibrant smells and crowded areas as you shop amongst the locals. www.pekmarkt.nl read more
