Haarlemmerstraat - Probably the youngest of the trendy shopping streets in town, Haarlemmerstaraat is less expensive with a big variety of shops, many of them trying to propose new consumer products and the new shopping formula. Starting near Centraal Station, this street offers many one-of-a-kind stores and trendy coffeeshops, brasseries and restaurants.

The fall 2008 issue of the New York Times comments on the Haarlemmerstraat:
“Drop into the design and fashion boutiques in the canal belt, focusing on the areas around Haarlemmerstraat and Rozengracht.”
