By Ben's friend - Public - 9 Notes

Chocolate, but not at the airportBuy it in town. The small shops let you taste before you choose, which is dangerous in the best way.FoodShopping
The famous little statueIt is little. Smaller than that. No - smaller. Go anyway; it's a two-minute stop near the Grand Place.Attraction
Take an umbrellaEven if the sky looks innocent. The sky is lying.Good to know
The great waffle warBrussels waffle: light and crisp, piled with toppings. Liège waffle: dense and caramelized, perfect as it is. Pick a side. Friendships have ended over less.Food
Fries: follow the lineOnly where there's a line. The line is the review. Mayonnaise is not optional.Food
Mussels: mind the seasonMoules-frites are best from September to spring. One pot is enough for two if you want a waffle later. You do.Food
What to take homeSpeculoos, the thin spiced cookies. They travel better than chocolate and don't melt in a bag.Shopping
Sunday morning at the Midi marketThe big market by the South Station, Sundays until about 13:00. Go hungry: a hot Moroccan pancake and mint tea at the stalls is breakfast.FoodShopping
Beer: ask, don't guessDelirium has the list of two thousand beers and the crowd to match. For a quieter glass, find a small brown cafe and ask what the barman drinks.Nightlife
