Geschiedenis

Patta is located on one of the oldest streets in Amsterdam, called the Zeedijk (street). Back in the days, this used to be the most popular street for sailors to spend their money on booze and hookers. All the sailors arrived in the harbor of Amsterdam, which used to be not far away from this street. Just a 5 minute walk, really… The harbor was located on what’s now Amsterdam’s Central Station.

Amsterdam, Red Light District, Zeedijk 67, 1958. This is now Patta Fashion Store.

So, in 1958 this is where the locals got their sandwiches… The Zeedijk (street) is located in the city center, so most likely this sandwich shop did good business as well.

Amsterdam, Zeedijk 67. Year unknown. #Throwback

Did you know that the Zeedijk street used to be the ghetto of The Netherlands? Especially in the 80’s. There were junkies and drugs dealers all over the place! And heroin was the drug which was being sold. Luckily that is now gone.

In the 80’s, many dealers sold their dope in the cafes on the Zeedijk street in Amsterdam. #ThugLife

It’s strange, but nice to see how this street transformed from a ghetto to a safe and lively place.
