Brussels Bucket List: Summer 2013 edition
Try at least five Belgian beers (so far Leffe, Blanche, Chimay, and Maredsous – licensed by monks! The grand finale was a Grimbergen on my last night, thanks to a kind and unsuspecting roommate.)
Snag a table for outdoor dining in Place du Luxembourg, minus the smoking
Brewery tour
Zinneke pis
Guinness at Michael Collins, Ave Louise
Natural History museum (dinosaurs!)
Parc du Cinquantenaire museum (blog post TBD)
Eat Congolese food in Matongé, the African quarter
Palais de Justice (can I get in? not sure. currently covered in scaffolding.)
Vintage market at Place du jeu de Balle
Picnic in Parc du Cinquentenaire
Chaochow City, cheap Chinese food
Buy yourself a pair of shoes, girl. Italy, you are too good to me.
Intern social at Place de Luxembourg, Thursdays
The Atomium
Non-touristy waffles. And more of the touristy kind too.
Photograph all the graffiti pencils I can find
Go to the beach. Any beach. Three tons of sand being dumped in the city center counts. [I still want to go to Brussels Bad, but the Italy beach day definitely counted.]
