Obviously (it’s so obvious guys) you’re supposed to sing the title of this post to the tune of the song from Wicked:<\/em> “one short day in the Emerald city\/one short day full of so much to do\/every way that you look in this city\/there’s something exquisite\/you’ll want to visit\/before the day’s through.” Except…except (sorry to my Belgian friends) but Brussels is kind of x. X means whatever. Every way you look in Brussels, there’s\u00a0not<\/em> something exquisite. And you might not want to visit. But if you are visiting another, more charming place in the country, like Bruges<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>, which we talked about before, you will likely be passing through the capital. So here’s what to do if you find yourself with some time in this Detroit of Europe (no offense to Detroit, just that it’s like…industrial and charmless).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The only really nice to look at part of Brussels is the Grand Place, the central square of Brussels and the most crowded place in Europe outside of Parisian museums and the London tube after work. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Grand Place is often named the most beautiful square in the world, which is…surprising. It’s nice, don’t get me wrong, but the most beautiful square in the world? Maybe in August every other year, when they do the incredible flower carpet over the entire thing. But in winter? It’s fine. I’m fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
maybe I’m just down on the Grand Place because of this hideo thatched hut<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
don’t worry I cut like 7 inches off after I saw this picture<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the pinkish purpley lights and the giant Christmas tree. And while it is very nice, it’s not my favorite thing in the city. For someone who talks SO GD MUCH about how often she has to pee, I know you know exactly what my favorite thing in Brussels is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
my little piss boy! <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Manneken Pis! I know it’s so stupid and so touristy but there is a STATUE in the CAPITAL OF EUROPE of a LITTLE BOY PEEING and it’s the MOST FAMOUS SYMBOL OF THE BELGIAN PEOPLE. You cannot tell me there’s anything better than that. Little Boy Piss is smaller than you expect, about the size of a child his age would be so it’s actually easy to miss on its unassuming lil street corner about 5 minutes from the Grand Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s said that Little Pissing Man (actual translation) represents the people of Belgium’s independence of mind and sense of humor, which I’d say is true about the fact that this statue exists and is on display, but the actual statue represents their tendency to pee outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The statue dates from the early 1600s, and this one is a replica; the real one is in the Brussels City Museum. There are several legends associated with Manneken Pis, and they are all incredible because they all are about a little boy urinating and they all try to explain why that was a momentous event. It’s really extraordinary. They’re all amazing but I’ll share one: in the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power, and the attackers placed explosives at the city walls to finish things but seriously. A little boy was spying on the attackers as they prepared and he urinated on the burning fuse and, of course, saved the city. Brussels wants you to know that peeing outside can save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So most people know about Manneken Pis, but did you know about his sister-in-crime, (not me) Jeanneke Pis??!! There’s another little pissing child statue in Brussels and it’s a girl! I honestly cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
SET HER FREE<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
thank you<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jeanneke Pis is located down a dark (and pot-filled) alley so it is not as touristed as Manneken Pis. Gender discrimination, I think. Jeanneke was built as a companion piece to the little piss boy, and she was commissioned in (checks notes) THE YEAR OF MY BIRTH! She’s my spirit statue! She’s behind bars because even Europeans are still lagging behind on women’s rights<\/s> you’re supposed to throw coins into her fountain and make a wish. Great stuff, Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food<\/h2>\n\n\n

Like all capital cities worth their salt, Brussels has some great options for vegans, especially compared with the last time I visited the city like 15 years ago, ugh and oh no. Hooray for progress! Not only is there tons of vegan chocolate even in the chain stores as we saw in Bruges<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>, there’s also now VEGAN WAFFLES!!! But before I share the waffles, you’ll have to eat your vegetables, unless you’re that idiot pathetic man who complained about the Golden Globes going vegan when it’s a) a free meal b) ONE meal and c) he would never be invited, ya basic!; if you’re that guy you don’t get anything.<\/p>\n\n\n

For lunch in Brussels, I did all my HappyCow research and decided on the most predictable choice for my salad-and-bowl-loving self: Yummy Bowl. It’s a vegetarian bowl joint. They make bowls, like full of all kinds of vegetables. It’s literally perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Well it’s not perfect perfect because I went up to the counter when I arrived and was told to sit and that someone would take my order from the table which is fine but then for the next 30 minutes they took people’s orders at the counters???!!! Like yes all those jackfruits were doing it wrong but they still got served first so the lesson is NEVER FOLLOW THE RULES. But finally I ordered my Super Bowl (not to be confused with the upcoming football game that can EAT my SHORTS because the Eagles are out (are you proud, fam, doesn’t it seem like I actually care? #goeagles (look I did it again!))).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Super Bowl, like Walt Whitman, contained MULTITUDES: red and white quinoa, young shoots and baby leaves salad, gomasio tofu, avocado hummus, garlic grilled green beans, red cabbage, roasted sweet potatoes, edamame, marinated zucchini, grilled broccoli, mango, pomegranate seeds, goji berries, sunflower seeds, and lemon curcuma dressing. I KNOW! ALL THESE THINGS MIXED TOGETHER! Obviously I sang like the boy in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (“Oh Happy DAYYYY”). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I know some of you are like ‘um you know they have vegan burgers and fries and stuff in Brussels, right’ but you know I love a loaded salad like nothing else. And I got a waffle for you! Well not ‘for you’ but for you, know what I mean? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a walk through this GORGEOUS arcade to find our vegan waffles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
sardines in here<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here we are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Hello magician<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vegan Waf is, you guessed it, the vegan waffle joint in Brussels that I say is a MUST VISIT<\/strong>. This was SO DELICIOUS, not to be confused with the best ice cream brand but man alive did you know? Did you know about waffles??!!! Like about real Belgian waffles? I think I had one when I was first in Belgium but I wasn’t vegan yet so I didn’t appreciate it because I was probably like “yeah I can eat this I can eat ANYTHING I don’t even care!” but now I care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
you’re swell<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you aren’t vegan, or you drink beer, or both, I even have a recommendation for you! Before our train home to Londres, we whiled away the hours (conferring with the flowers) at La Mort Subite, which is a very direly named old-fashioned bar that is suuuupes classic and like French if you are looking for that sort of thing. Rude old men waiters, enormous blocks of cheese, amazing beer (so I’m told), so I have it on good authority (husbo’s) that you should go there. We sat at the window and the people at the table outside had a dog so I was set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
it was super packed with locals which is cool I guess especially if you want to be judged<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anyway that’s literally all we did in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t actually have a recommendation for you, I have an anti-recommendation. An opposite torture, as Michael would say. We arrived in Belgium on the late night Eurostar, so we slept in Brussels before leaving first thing in the morning for Bruges. We stayed in the B&B Hotel Brussels Centre Gare du Midi, right across the street from the train station, just for a cheap simple place to spend the night. It was literally the worst, most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve slept in some random places all over the world. So, just a warning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brussels might not be the most charming to look at, but there’s lots of culture that you should immerse yourself in, via the many many museums and tours and more. I did that last time so this was just for how to pass your short day in the non-emerald city. Goodbye! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
