Belgian frites, it’s not just about the product. It’s about the ritual: Fries as destination. Fries as indulgence. nyti.ms/14TC5BJ

What could be unhealthy about Belgian frites, eaten with tiny forks, topped with a mayonnaise-based sauce? nyti.ms/14TC5BJ

So I made a secondary plan for Brussels: exercise every day (not part of my regular routine). nyti.ms/14TC5BJ

My plan for Brussels: Try 10 of its best friteries or fritkots, those French fry-selling stands that dot the city. nyti.ms/14TC5BJ

How easy is NYC's bike-sharing program? Not very. Despite new bike lanes, NYC is still no Copenhagen. nyti.ms/15yfSLC

How fast is NYC's bike-sharing program? Very. For 20-block trips, the bikes beat the subway or bus. nyti.ms/15yfSLC

How affordable is NYC's bike-sharing program for tourists? Not as cheap as London's or Paris's. nyti.ms/15yfSLC

Done with a day Citibiking. Some predictable annoyances but mostly fine. Problem is - way expensive for short-term tourists, $10.83 a day!

Must say that the Citibike stations are everywhere-saw a Chinatown street festival, wanted to stop, and there one was. Actually, two.

The Frugal Traveler @frugaltraveler
So far, ok on the Citibikes but some trouble with certain stations - Bowling Green not working.

Yes! Hmm, though I still blame US banks. RT @travellinggay: @frugaltraveler You're right...#French machines are notorious #chip snobs!

Looking at map and wondering how it could be 72 degrees in Berlin, where I was yesterday, and 46 in Brussels, where I am (freezing) today.

I'll be eating lots of frites in Brussels...need to offset damage. Jogging/yoga/salad/ suggestions? (No Brussels sprouts jokes pls.)

The Frugal Traveler @frugaltraveler
Brussels Metro ticket machines accept credit cards without chips. Don't see that much in European mass transit.

Hotel review sites (@TripAdvisor, @bookingcom) should require reviewers to disclose rate they paid. Would put neg reviews in perspective.
