This weekend, Marci and I are looking forward to a belated celebration of our 13th wedding anniversary by taking an overnight trip to Brussels. Even though this is basically the equivalent of someone from Cleveland, Ohio taking a road trip to visit Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we're really excited to experience Brussels for ourselves. Believe it or not, after eight-and-a-half years of living in this part of the world, this will be our first time actually visiting Brussels (outside of the train station, at least).

So I'm curious: Does anyone have any travel tips for us?

I've already been told that the waffles are a requirement. Also, the Grand Place seems to be an obvious choice (especially given that we'll be staying in a hotel very close to this landmark). But what else might you advise? Any particular sites to see? Any great restaurants or places for coffee? How does one get "the True Brussels Experience?" Any advice would be welcomed!
