Esmeralda\u2019s tip:<\/span>\u00a0De Geheime Wintertuin [The Secret Winter Garden]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you fed up with the cold, rain and wet snow as well? I know I am. Unfortunately, when I checked my bank balance recently, I realised that a holiday in the sun was probably unlikely. However, I can still go on holiday in my own city. So it\u2019s off to the Geheime Wintertuin<\/a>. This is a tropical oasis in the centre of Rotterdam, filled with warming cocktails, hot chocolate and gl\u00fchwein as well as delicious snacks. Every weekend in February, the garden pops up in a different place, so watch posts on Facebook for the venue. I\u2019ve managed to find out that the 17 February<\/strong> edition will be held in the Performance Bar<\/strong>, from 7.00 p.m. But don\u2019t tell anyone!<\/p>\n\t

Manon\u2019s tip:<\/span>\u00a0Watskeburt?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 17, 18 and 19 February,<\/strong> the musical\u00a0Watskeburt?!<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is playing in Nieuwe Luxor Theater<\/strong>, featuring the language, humour and music of De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig. Now I must be honest and say that I\u2019m not terribly keen on music or musicals in Dutch, but if De Jeugd does something, I\u2019m there. Like many students, I grew up with tracks like Watskeburt?!<\/em>, Shenkie<\/em> and Hollereer<\/em> and I never really stopped listening. So as a fan, I was secretly quite honoured when they brought out their album Manon<\/em>. Anyway, back to the musical. What exactly can you expect? Exactly what you don\u2019t expect! According to De Jeugd themselves, it will be a crazy theatre trip in which Vj\u00e8ze Fur, Willie Wartaal, Faberyayo and Bas Bron come to life in a puppet show. Together with Manon, they set out on an adventure, coming across all the hits on the way, of course. Tickets are available from 17.50 euros<\/strong> and the good news is that there are still seats for all three dates!<\/p>\n\t

Jeffrey\u2019s tip:<\/span>\u00a0Strafwerk\u00a0Rotterdam<\/b><\/p>\n

Annabel<\/strong>, Rotterdam\u2019s main cultural stage with what I feel is an incredibly attractive name, opened with the following thought:\u00a0\u201cSee Annabel as a mischievous girl who wants to be embraced very fast by Rotterdam\u201d<\/em>. Well, she has certainly been embraced and on Friday 24 February<\/strong> the club is organising another great party for you. This is when Annabel will be officially renamed Strafwerk Rotterdam<\/a> for the second time. Despite the venue\u2019s huge capacity of 1,500 people, at the end of February it will again be bursting at the seams. For 22.50 euros,<\/strong> expect the highest level with deep bass lines, funky melodies and hypnotising vocals. If you\u2019re not yet convinced and want a taster of how it went during the first edition, see the video below.
