Grey Area
A shoebox off the Singel that serious smokers cross the city for.
You know what you like and want to talk strains with people who care.
You want a seat. There are about six, and they go fast.
The vibe
Low ceiling, walls of stickers, and a counter staff who remember regulars after one visit. It is cramped, it is loud on weekends, and nobody seems to mind.
If it's your first time
Doable, but it moves fast. Go on a weekday afternoon when staff have time to explain. Tell staff it's your first visit; ask for something mild and start with a few puffs. Wait before having more.
