Hj Van de Kerkhof
One of the Negen Straatje’s most delightful old-fashioned stores, Kerkhof deals exclusively in passementerie: lace ribbon, rickrack, silk cord, curtain tassels. Surely something you own needs a little trim?

Po Chai Tong
If nothing seems to take away your stress, fatigue or jet lag, pay a visit to Dr Kai Zhang's kindly Chinese herbal-medicine and acupuncture shop. It's far from fancy, but clients have included opera singers and conductors from the nearby Stopera.

Zinne & Minne
Women won't find this sensual store the least bit intimidating and its lovely owner, Inez Reijbroek, is happy to help or leave to browse. Try Geisha's Secrets with essential love oils and tickle feathers, or the Kamasutra Bedside Box with honey dust and massage oil.

De Lach
This eccentric corner shop sells vintage movie posters from all over the world (eg the Italian version of Some Like it Hot) from around €12 to around €1000. It's the ultimate in retro-cool. There is also a mini Walk of Fame, signed by Dutch stars, on the sidewalk outside.

Nou Moe
This tiny corner shop features Asterix, Garfield, Tintin and 24 (yes, that 24 - don't ask us how you base a comic on a television show that unfolds in real time!). More importantly, it sells various merchandise: soft toys, notebooks, stickers, games, coffee mugs and bedroom slippers.

Pgc Hajenius
Even if you’re not a cigar connoisseur, stroll through this tobacco emporium for a glimpse of the grandeur that used to line the Rokin in the early 20th century. Inside is all art deco stained glass, gilt trim and soaring ceilings. Regular customers, including members of the Dutch royal family, have private humidors here.
