Hi everyone, I'll be arriving in A'dam around 8AM on a Sunday morning, and probably won't be able to check in to my hotel for several hours. I'll need to pick up a pipe and grinder, and then keep myself occupied that morning. I know Barney's will be open, and I think I've read that Central CS is open. Any other recommendations? And where can I find a pipe/grinder that early in the morning? Thanks! darkbeagle
Loads of nic-nac shops on Damrak the street directly outside central station that have grinders and pipes of sorts. Baba headshop have some really great stuff on Warmoesstraat which is just behind Grasshopper which you can't miss. have a good one, the weather looks top. Baba is where I would head but most coffeeshops have pipes and some grinders anyway.
Central CS is a ritual stop off on an early arrival day - but any other early morning wakeup in Amsterdam would have to be spent in The Coin in Warmoesstraat for me, which opens at 7am. Only a couple of shops down from Baba headshop too if they are open that early, otherwise like Nemesis said, plenty of touristy shops in Damrak and the shopping streets behind Damrak.
