<title>Reflex Art SUMMER</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A two-in-one gallery–one building houses modern artists while the other is home to contemporary pieces–Reflex’s stable of artists reads like a who’s-who on the art circuit as well as an A-list party line up. Jeff Koons, Willem de Kooning and Pablo Picasso are all represented by Reflex but perhaps it’s strength is found in the host of contemporary photographers whose wares grace the walls. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/289787">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        Jet lag be damned! Take a break from retail therapy and go for the real thing: pamper your mind, body and soul at Soap Treatment Store, the city center spa that you’ll want to add to speed dial. The clean–but not clinical–sleek chic décor in white on white with pale wooden floors offers the perfect time out from a day spent pounding Amsterdam’s endless shopping pavement, and Soap’s aromatherapy, massage, manicures, and wraps will allow you to conquer any lingering jet lag in style.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/289799">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Perhaps the best–and most beautiful–example of the old embracing the new can be experienced at the magnificent Van Gogh Museum where the world’s largest collection of the artist’s work is housed in two landmark buildings; one by Dutch superstar Gerrit Rietveld  and the other by Kisho Kurokawa.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/289779">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        ARCAM, the city’s modern Architecture Center. is a bit of a landmark but it’s true claim to fame is that it’s a ground zero for architecture buffs hoping to get the lowdown on the city’s latest and greatest structures.

<title>Puccini Bomboni</title>

        <![CDATA[
        You’ll want to sample Puccini Bomboni’s heavenly chocolate bon-bons. Of course I found comforting classics like their superbly rendered Gianduja or Milk Chocolate with Almonds, but this is an adventurous city and local tastes follow suit. I was daring and opted for delicious, if surprising, flavors like Rhubarb, Tamarind, Grapefruit, and Pepper. With two city center locations you’re never far away should you need to pick up a gourmand gift or satisfy your own luxurious chocolate yearnings.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/289795">Map this on Platial</a><br />
