Facades of some guildhalls on the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium (photo by Aaron Dalton)
Poor Belgium often gets overlooked by European travelers jetting off to Paris, Berlin or Vienna.
But those who take the time to explore the charming cities of Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges will find artistic and culinary delights without battling the tourist hordes.
So admire the Chagall paintings in the Brussels Royal Museums of Fine Arts, have yourself a sugar-dusted waffle topped with whipped cream, visit the Antwerp studio of Peter Paul Rubens and see why picturesque Bruges is called the Venice of the North.
Get all the details in this travel feature for the Jewish Exponent.

Nature's perfect food? (Photo by Salim Virji)
I’ve always been a big fan of Dunkin’ Donuts (particularly the toasted coconut variety).
So I was thrilled when communications firm RF|Binder asked me to write a couple of branded Dunkin’ Donuts guidebooks for college students in New York City and Philadelphia.
The guides mixed hip tips on entertainment, dining, shopping and recreation with information on Dunkin’ Donuts new line of flavored coffees.
RF|Binder ultimately distributed thousands of the guides on college campuses in and around New York City and Philadelphia, generating plenty of buzz among caffeine-loving students and their friends.
