This time, Jim and Irma will join a true son of the Zeedijk: Henk de Vries, founder of The Bulldog. In an unfiltered conversation in Amsterdam House of Arts & Crafts Henk looks back on half a century of neighbourhood life, full of unexpected turns, special encounters and moments that have shaped him.
He tells how a small cellar grew into a household name in Amsterdam, why the neighbourhood has always remained his home and what choices have guided him throughout his life. Jim delves with him into the history, the mentality and the stories you only hear from someone who has experienced it all up close.
An episode about character, survival and the soul of the Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood, told by someone who is still in the middle of it.
