    I am sick of always doing the same old same old in LA and surrounding areas, lol, so I propose we let each other in on our secret different, out of the ordinary, places we go to meet, greet, and eat! ... and have fun.

    For those of you with a sweet tooth and a preference for places that are different, I am going to tell you of a secret little place.............

    Toast, a little lunch-dinner-bakery-cafe-best cupcakes ever!, on Third street in Beverly Hills, after La Brea and before La Cienega, has the best cupcakes ever!! If you've ever been to Magnolia Bakery in NY you know the cupcakes because these are made by the same people, but right here in LA. If you like chocolate, try the red velvet cupcake. YUUUM. For those of us who try to be healthy, they also have the best tortilla soup and different salads and lavash bread wraps. It's also cool that they have couches where you can sit, chat, and eat.

    My friends and I also used to frequent The Coffeehouse on Sunset blvd, across the street from Miyagis, after long study nights. They had an incredible carrot cake and hot chocolate and great grilled cheese sandwiches and garlicy fries (all of which, except for the hot chocolate, seemed to taste even better because we would share them between the three of us). Unfortunately they are now closed and replaced by, *sniff*, some weird place called Wacky Waffles. I am NOT old enough to have my favorite place be closed!! *sniff*

        OK, lets talk about fun places to go.

        First of all, if you wanna have exellent Italian food, go to Giovanni at the Keiserlei, Antwerp.

        If you want to have a delicious/classy brunch/cafe/or just hamov pancakes, go to the Fouquets which is also on the Keiserlei.

        Now, for the health freaks, there's Exk!s but I really can't comment on that since I never dared enter this shop...I've got a schoolfriend getting her food everyday from there..and it looks...hmmm

        Anyway, lets continue.

        You've got Le Pain Quotidien on MariaTheresiaLei..which is a really good bakery.

        If you want to hang out with friends in a really cosy lounge go to the Velvet Lounge, Vlaamsekai...but make sure to not go to the On Stage which is just in front of Velvet Lounge and does really sux!!

        Oh and don't miss the Cafe D'Anvers on the Grande Place...... don't mistake it with the strip club CAFE D'ANVERS..but you probably wont because it's at the other end of the city...too bad


        This recommendations are for the Belgians out here... ..

        I'm the only one here ..but ok, I guess what I've just said will be your guide to Belgium..

                  YES!! Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish. I have a habit of choosing the xxxxtiest thing on the menu. The salad was good though.
