"As the Jordaan overflowed with laborers in the 19th century, De Pijp evolved to accommodate the surplus. Known for narrow townhouses originally built to house low-income families, the neighborhood has been the home of students, artists, young professionals, and immigrants since the 1960s. Sometimes called “The Latin Quarter,” its cosmopolitan flair is evident in a pastiche of Syrian, Moroccan, Spanish, Indian, and Surinamese eateries, alongside Dutch pubs, Islamic butchers, and Turkish delicatessens. De Pijp’s diverse demographics are abundantly clear at the Albert Cuypmarkt, centerpiece of the neighborhood, where you can buy just about anything you never thought you’d find in the Netherlands. The district also encompasses Sarphatipark, a two-block rectangle of green with a lake, small bridges, and playground equipment. A 19th-century monument honoring Jewish doctor and philanthropist Samuel Sarphati, who fought city hall to see the park built, dominates the relaxed open space.Just north of Sarphatipark is what remains of the establishment that once permeated De Pijp with the fragrance of fermenting hops. Now an overpriced brewery-turned-museum, the Heineken Experience pays homage to a beer now produced by a multinational firm." - MATADOR_NETWORK
