- La Zeedijk (« digue de la mer » en néerlandais) est une rue d'Amsterdam. (fr)
- Zeedijk (English: "Sea dike") is a street in the old centre of Amsterdam. The street is the northern and eastern boundary of De Wallen red-light district and runs between Prins Hendrikkade and Nieuwmarkt. Historically an area riddled with crime and drug addicts, the area went through a revitalization and is now the main street of Amsterdam's Chinatown, where locals come to eat at Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese restaurants. The Zeedijk neighbourhood is also known as the Nautical Quarter (Dutch: Nautisch Kwartier) because of its past as a sailors' neighbourhood. The zeedijk was constructed as seawall or dike to protect Amsterdam from the water of the IJ, which was in open connection with the Zuiderzee until 1872. The street's curvature is a noticeable remnant of its adherence to the contours of the old dike. Halfway along the dike is the former Sint Anthoniespoort, the old city gate now called the Waag. Beyond the gate running south-east, the dike continued as Sint Antoniesdijk (now Sint Antoniesbreestraat). The neighbourhood is one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam. In 1544, Zeedijk was the first street to have permanent street lights installed. Until the 17th century, the curve of the promenade was one of the most respectable places where one could live. After the construction of the luxurious Herengracht, the wealthy merchants moved out of the area and it became a centre of nightlife for passing sailors. The old bars and the shops for ship supplies are still a reminder of this. Zeedijk is the heart of Chinatown, the Chinese neighbourhood of Amsterdam. There are many tokos and restaurants there, such as Nam Kee, described in the novel De Oesters van Nam Kee by Kees van Beijnum and the movie based on the book. The text on the street signs in the Zeedijk area and Nieuwmarkt are both in Dutch as well as in Chinese. The neighborhood is the location of the , a Buddhist temple which is open to the public. It was at the Zeedijk where jazz musician Chet Baker died in 1988. He fell or threw himself out the window of the Prins Hendrik Hotel. A plaque was put up at the site in his memory. Café 't Mandje on Zeedijk 63 was an early example of a bar where, aside from prostitutes, pimps and sailors, gays and lesbians were also welcome. Opened in 1927, owner Bet van Beeren soon became an icon within Amsterdam's LGBT community. After her death in 1967, her sister Greet continued the café until 1983. It was reopened in 2008 by relatives. Besides Café 't Mandje, there were other gay bars in Zeedijk as well. Around 1998, four gay bars (De Barderij, The Queen's Head, De Engel van Amsterdam, and De Engel Next Door) opened in close proximity to each other along the bend at the north-east end of Zeedijk, making this area one of Amsterdam's hotspots of gay nightlife. Once a year, in August, the "Hartjesdagen" take place on the Zeedijk, a festival featuring a parade of costumed participants. (en)
- La Zeedijk (pron.: /ze:dɛjk/; letteralmente: "diga sul mare") è una strada di Amsterdam, situata nella Oude Zijde ("Parte vecchia"). Tra le strade più antiche della città, era ora un tempo il quartiere dei marinai. Ora, comprende, tra l'altro, la "Chinatown" della capitale olandese. (it)
- De Zeedijk is een straat in het centrum van Amsterdam. De straat loopt vanaf de Prins Hendrikkade naar de Nieuwmarkt. De Zeedijk vormt het hart van Chinatown, de Chinese buurt van Amsterdam. Er zijn vele toko's en restaurants, zoals Chinees restaurant Nam Kee, bekend van de roman De oesters van Nam Kee. De tekst op straatnaambordjes in de omgeving van de Zeedijk en Nieuwmarkt is in zowel Nederlands als Chinese karakters uitgevoerd. Hoewel er geen prostitutie op de Zeedijk is, wordt de straat ook wel als onderdeel van de Amsterdamse Wallen gezien. In augustus vinden op de Zeedijk de Hartjesdagen plaats, met als hoogtepunt een bonte optocht van verklede deelnemers. De Zeedijkbuurt wordt ook wel het Nautisch Kwartier genoemd, vanwege het verleden als zeemansbuurt. De straat verloor in 1878 bijna haar naam, de gemeenteraad hield toen een voorstel tegen om de straat om te dopen in Prins Hendrikstraat (de kade kreeg in 1879 haar naam). Als reden werd gegeven, dat de straat op zich niet gewijzigd en of verbreed werd (de kade werd dat wel) en op andere bezwaren bij naamswijzigingen in straten, zoals administratie. (nl)
