Stop the presses
There's still news coming from Trouw (Wibautstraat 127, www.trouwamsterdam.nl ), a temporary restaurant and club in a former newspaper printing warehouse in east Amsterdam, but these days the news has more to do with cocktails, cuisine and art. The place is now a sleek backdrop for a young crowd who read their news on iPads. On summer evenings the terrace is packed with late-night revelers.
