Going bonkers trying to remember the title of a favorite children's book that I read growing up in the late 1960s. The story takes place in NYC and the main characters are 2 children, a boy and a girl. The children stand in the first car of a subway train and as the train moves faster and faster through a Bowery tunnel, the children travel back in time to NY when it was New Amsterdam. They meet Peter Stuyvesant and other characters in Manhattan when it was a Dutch colony. Sound familiar to anyone?

I have a day and a half in Amsterdam this December (arrive 13th, leave 15th) which I've managed to tack on to the end of a subsidized work/school trip. Given the time constraints, that I'll be alone, and that the rest of the trip is free, I'm considering biting the bullet and staying at the central Best Western, buying an "I am Amsterdam" card, and in all other ways ponying up the cash for increased convenience. Is this a huge mistake? And/or what package deals, eateries, or other tips are likely to make my whirlwind trip more satisfying? [more inside]
