With streets named after Greek legends, painters and composers, this neighborhood was bound to have some legendary stories. So it’s no surprise that the classic Amsterdam Hilton Hotel is where John Lennon and Yoko had their “Bed In” for Peace in 1969. Today, cozy gastropubs and steakhouses attract both tourists and regulars alike, while refined French cuisine ups the ante of the hotel restaurant. Casual Indonesian food and vibrant Spanish tapas round out the standouts in a much-talked-about area that stays culturally relevant with each new generation.
