Other Netherland Cities/Towns...
The only other city I visited in Holland, besides Amsterdam, was Utrecht, which was a very pleasant town. There is a Utrecht Avenue in Brooklyn, NY, named for that city. Brooklyn itself was originally named Breukelen (and other spellings), in the 1600's, after the city in Holland. The name gradually changed after the British took over. Many Brooklyn streets, institutions, and some businesses still have Dutch names, though.
