Yes! New in our area are the Food Hallen inside the Hallen (I listed it as a street market, because that's the feeling you may get, but it's definitely inside). The Hallen are arranged inside an old tram garage. It has been transformed in a cool hipster place with a hair dresser academy, a bike store, a library, some other small boutiques, a really cool film house/movie theater, and the awesome Food Hallen. It's a large hall inside with various food stands with foods from all over the world: Korean BBQ, Indian grill, sushi, frozen yogurt, Dutch bitterballen, and much more, plus a big bar and a gin&tonic bar. AWESOME! You can definitely enjoy an evening here, movie and food :-)

Enkhuizen is the name of the city. I list this as a museum, because this town is known for their 'open air museum' which is particularly interesting in the summer (when it's actually open). You can see how the Dutch used to live and dress and you can even get dressed up in the traditional attire and play the old games.

Every Monday from 9:00am-1:00pm there's the famous Lapjesmarkt on the Westerstraat in the Jordaan. The whole street is then filled with stands of fabrics. Some also sell other things, like scarves.
This market attaches to the Noordermarkt with clothes and nicknacks from all over the world.
Often the fabric stands stop shop around 12:30pm, so don't wait until the last moment. The Noordermarkt continues a bit longer though.
