As a city ridden with cool street art and a sizeable pool of talent, it was odd not to find a hospitality venue that would reflect all this. Well, that was yesterday. As of late, a new dining spot has emerged in Amsterdam’s canal district that has audaciously taken on the challenge to honour this legacy. Called De Bajes its name is derived from the Yiddish word meaning “home”, but later on the d..
