Any places that offer a tasty brunch buffet in The Hague?

I’ve tried the American Book Center in the city center and Paagman, unsuccessfully. Alternatively, where can I order them online or subscribe to the monthly deliveries? I emailed NatGeo UK and they said they do not ship to particular addresses in The Netherlands.

Hello everyone,

Seeing posts about hangout groups in this sub inspired me to make one of my own.

Who would like to join me for activities for The Hague Pride tomorrow? I'm planning to visit the party at Koekamp from 19:00 till 22:00 with a Meetup group. After that I'm heading to two parties: CC Sounds at The Grey Space in the Middle and Parish Queernight at PIP (not affiliated to any of those events). DM if you would like to join me.

I'm 27M gay man and having only straight friends, they are always reluctant to attend queer events.

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling really frustrated and stuck in a difficult situation with my housing company, and I could really use some advice on how to handle it.

I've been having issues with the lock on the main entrance of my building, the company has replaced the door lock so my current keys are not working anymore to access the building.

When I went to the company to get the new keys, they gave me wrong keys, so I went back and they said they replaced the wrong lock, so someone will come and change the lock so my new keys will be working.

It’s been already one week and no one comes to replace the lock and whenever I reach out to them by phone they say they have to order it which means it will take time.

I told them, can you provide me with the keys of the current lock until they change it, they said they don’t have the keys for the current lock while my neighbours have it.

I've tried communicating assertively and expressing the urgency of the situation, but it seems like progress is slow, and I'm feeling increasingly stressed and frustrated.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Do you have any suggestions for how I can get the issue resolved more effectively? I'm open to any advice or insights you may have.

I’m an expat who moved here recently on the DAFT visa as an entrepreneur so I can’t ask work for help with figuring out school. 😅 I have no idea how to go about getting my child into schooling.

People I meet keep saying that she doesn’t need an international or newcomer school/classes and it would be better to go into a public school and at her age she can learn Dutch quickly and easily with kids in her area. But how? Every school I’ve looked up has wait lists and lotteries and also say that I should have a paper for registering her once she turned 3 - but since we just moved here, I’m not sure how to go about the process or even who to contact.

Or if I should be waiting until after summer vacation.

Any advice on getting started would be very welcome!

I saw a lot of posts lately about people wanting to socialize etc. Therefore offering this to people so they can join and no need to share their phone numbers or personal details. I have been part for a long time and have met good friends from there so far. Everyone interested is welcomed!

Hey everyone,

Yesterday, I saw a post from someone asking how to meet new people in The Hague. Inspired by that, I decided to take action and create a WhatsApp group for those interested in meeting new friends and organizing fun meetups :)

Whether you're new to the city or just looking to expand your social circle.

If you're interested in joining, just drop a comment or send me a message, and I'll add you to the group.

I would love to get some recommendations for a realtor. Agency and name if you still remember. I am looking to buy a home in the general Haagse region, so any help to narrow down the 20+ list of possibilities would be much appreciated.

Hi there! My wife and I are moving to The Hague in September with our 1 year old daughter, but we're first going to be visiting in July. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is in anyway possible to get a bank account while we're there to get a head start on the moving/renting a home process. We have some friends in The Hague - would it be possible to temporarily use their address before we rent? Not sure how it all works. If anyone has other ideas of what we could get a head start on while we're visiting, please let us know! :) I've already reached out to some daycares to get that process going.

Thanks!

Share your experiences.

I'm in my 30s (F) and I realised that after half a decade living in the hague I actually, did not, make any friends here... All my friends live in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and everywhere else but here for some reason and it's always difficult to meet with them. Like, sometimes you just want to shoot a message to a mate and meet for coffee in like 20min. I remember when I was younger it was so easy and it was the best thing. I really miss that.

And of course it's slightly more difficult here to make friends in general. Some of my Dutch colleagues told me Dutch people from the hague could be seen as a bit serious hence boring among the Dutchies. I didn't know that category existed. So I guess that didn't help.

Sometimes I met people and I thought ah she was cool, would love to be her friend. But I was too scared to ask, hey do you want to have coffee with me? Why is it so frowned upon, asking someone to be your friend?

How do you guys do it? Who has successfully made a friend here and can tell me about it? Much appreciate any insights. Cheers xx

I applied for fine arts on the 6th of April and today they emailed me I got rejected. Unfortunately I didn't get any feedback due to the large number of applicant this year :(.. If someone would like to look at my portfolio and maybe help me out I'd really appreciate it!!

Has HTM forbidden air conditioning in the bus to run at least on really hot sunny days like today? I think it is awful to let passengers sit in an air tight box without ventilation.

I have an essay to write about social segregation and how it can be seen in The Hague. My instructions are: visit a district or a larger municipal center twice at different times of the day. (Is there an area in The Hague where you can identify social segregation based on being in the area at two different times?) Also familiarize yourself with online information about the chosen environment. Write a freely worded reflective text about segregation and social vulnerability based on the given text and your observations in the field.

I will be assessed on the ability to identify risks and resources in the chosen environment in relation to social vulnerability.

Hallo allemaal, ik ben 19 jaar uit Den Haag en ik werk momenteel in een restaurant en in de zomer heb ik de mogelijkheid om 12 euro netto te verdienen.

Ik zou graag willen vragen wat de opties zijn voor zomerwerk waar het loon goed is (ook zwart) en wat is gemiddelde loon voor vakantie werk.

does anyone know the right place to exchange like 10 of 20 euros into 4 of 50 euros (preferably w/ no charges)? I tried at jumbo near the centraal station but they say they wouldn’t accept it. many thanks in advance

Hello!

I'm a first year international student here in The Hague, and something unexpected happened today. I got the news from my roomates that the owner has suddenly, out of nowhere, declared that he wants to sell the house. With that, now me and my roommates need to get out by May 25th, just 12 days from now.

According to what i heard from my roommates, they (my roommates) wanted to move away by the end of this month. They already found someone to take their place, and so that required the contract to be modified, change the name and all. But apparently the owner flat out said no, and now wants to let the contract end, and sell the house.

This feels quite illegal. Aren't they required to provide a month notice before doing anything like this? I am absolutely unprepared, and i've got nowhere to go. Perhaps i'll ask the housing agency if i can extend this 12 day notice.

Is there anything i could do? Anything is appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: for extra clarification and information, my rental agreement is not seperate. It's under my name and 2 of my roommates, and is supposed to end this September. I've read the contract again to see if there's anything about situations like this, and there doesn't seem to by anything. I'm going to be on my own, since my roommates are going to pull out their deposits and move out to a new place. And when they move out, thats when im supposed to leave.... which is in 12 days (May 25th). I mentioned the possibility of asking for more time, but then my roommates said i'd have to bear the full cost of the rent, which i'm not sure i could do.

EDIT 2: I commented an update below!

Hey there everybody!
I am looking for some help with odd-jobs around the house and came across the above site (Dutch). Seems like a reasonable man but I also don't want these jobs to be botched. Which is why I'm wondering if any of you have experience with this man and if so if you are willing to share those :D thanks in advance you beautiful people.

Soon it’s gonna be my and my girlfriend’s birthday (yeah somehow we have the same date of birth) and i wanna surprise her and take her out for dinner. I know for a fact we both love Loaded Fries but i would not know where to get the best in town.

Does anybody have any good places where they serve proper loaded fries? Preferably i’d dine somewhere like the centre or the beach but open for recommendations!

Hoi!

I have a question:

I work with ZZP in The Hague. I need to buy a laptop and I want it to be a Macbook. Where can I buy it 1) in monthly installments and with the possibility of passing it off as 2) a company expense. Both points are mandatory because I don't have the capital available to buy it all at once, and I also need a company expense. Thank you!

Hey, everyone!

I am posting this with the hope I can find the other earring, same as the one shown on the picture.

It was lost at Spui, the entrance of Primark. The chances for finding it are very small, but you never know until you try.

It has sentimental value. There will be a reward.

Thank you in advance!

I’ll be in The Hague in June. I’m looking to stay close to the beach. What’s scheveningen like? Would you recommend? Or should I stay close to the centre and travel there? I’ll only be there for 2 nights, so really only one full day.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I will be visiting The Hague for five days in June.

We would like to know which restaurants to visit. It can be fast food, luxury dining, anything goes!

Please tell us your favorite restaurants!

Edit: I did not expect this many replies in such little time. We will do our best to go to every restaurant, thank you all so much!

Especially around Zandmotor. Is it private property or nature reservation or something similar?

Any good waffle/pancakes spots in The Hague
