There's a lovely, lovely pub
On a sort of square opposite the Steinway piano shop. Beautiful beers. Obviously there are many lovely pubs in Amsterdam, but that one was so very good that I've been back 3 times.

Also: Anne Frank museum: depressing, but v interesting.
And you could get a boat tour of the canals.

Also, there's a great little coffee-shop on the Prinsengracht called La Tertulia: Prinsengracht 312
1016 HX Amsterdam
It's tiny, is supposed to open from 11am-7pm Tues-Sat, but sometimes shuts earlier. You can sit outside on the banks of the canal, and they do brilliant milkshakes.
