If I can recommend the best dish The Netherlands has to offer, please take a kapsalon after your night out. It is a calorie bomb but it's the best thing. Only problem is if you ask for a kapsalon to a random Dutch person they may send you to a random hairdresser...

That's true. I mean this politely, but did your friends move into the centre in the last 10-15 years? Kinda, what else do you expect? I live in the centre of Utrecht and the noise and unruliness (especially from the studentenverenigingen) is just part of living in the centre. Everyone loves the...
