Seeking recommendations for Amsterdam

J and I will be in Amsterdam for 3 days and 2 nights this upcoming weekend. We have some ideas of what to do, but was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations - especially for places to eat!! Speaking of which, what are some must-eat Dutch foods?

So far we're planning to do the following things (in no particular order):

1. Anne Frank House
2. Van Gogh Museum
3. Red Light District
4. The Heineken Experience (We always thought it was a German beer... apparently not!)
5. Eat a "special" muffin. Anyone have a favorite bakery?

Thanks!
