Answer Question
Lovely Italian spot in Brussels
Ciao a tutti! Sono andata a Bruxelles per lavoro a marzo 2013 - maggio 2013. I found this lovely place not far from my apartment in the European Quarter (which generally isn't the most lively neighborhood): http://www.piolalibri.be/. It is a combination bookstore/cafe/wine and aperativo bar. Unfortunately it isn't open very late in the evening (unless they have a special event on; they hosted a few concerts while I was there). But it's a lovely place to curl up with a book on a rainy or snowy Saturday and a cappucino or un bicchiere di barbera con le olive. You can stay for hours. I picked up The Catcher in the Rye and The Wizard of Oz in Italian (I'm more than a ways from being able to read the former; not too far from the latter!). A bit more about it here: http://www.spottedbylocals.com/brusse.... I wasn't a massive fan of Brussels, but I really miss this place. Check it out if you find yourself there!
