Amshterdam. But no actual people live there, only sex-workers, writers and tv people.
I've heard it pronounced that way on Dutch radio – closer to om-shter-dom. Even if I misheard it, it would indicate that the stereotypical accent has a basis in fact. The pronunciation of the name Astrid is also odd -- closer to ows-strit.

Guy had a lisp, I guess. I myself am guilty of going sh at times, but that doesn't make it right or common.

The A must be pronounced like the one in bath, but short; perhaps like the u in but and gun. "ows-strit" is messed up.
