Drinks & Nightlife
Jester
2 Av. de la Prte de HalCool decor, cinema showing old films, nice place to have a drink or three.
Beer Heaven! They have... thousands of beers available and the waiters know their stuff. No cola served. This place takes taking beer seriously seriously.

Everything Else
Big daily flea market (mornings) - best to go during the week for the better deals, and be prepared to bargain prices down.

Lots of bars, coffee places and restaurants on this square - also down the little cobbled streets just nearby (rue de la forg, rue du moskou). Wonderful to hang out on a terrace with a beer in summer.

Sightseeing
Maurice Van Meenenplein
Place Maurice van MeenenArchitecturally impressive St Gilles Town Hall.
This slightly random-seeming tower used to be part of the old wall surrounding the city. It's been very well restored and hosts a museum with some impressive suits of armor and weapons.

A must-see for anyone visiting Brussels - really quite an impressive square. Just don't go to eat in the surrounding tourist-trap restaurants.

Food Scene
La Porteuse d'Eau
48 Av. Jean VoldersArt Nouveau decor and good standard Belgian fare.
Everything mushroom related. Truly exceptionally delicious food. Not cheap, as such, but definitely worth every penny.

The best frites in Brussels, which basically means the best frites anywhere, in my opinion. I won't even sully these gems of Belgian cuisine by saying that "frites" means "french fries" (;

Arts & Culture
This bar hosts a puppet theater that is part of Brussels' heritage. The very tongue in cheek and over the top performances are done primarily in Brusseleer (flemish/french hybrid).
