Not sure how popular the place is, but I've noticed that in the Brussels thread quite some Antwerp questions come up, so... ...here we go.

Thanks. What's a nice decent place to stay near the Jewish area?

The Park hotel http://www.booking.com/Share-Bydhcp

To avoid at all costs, is Ambassador Suites!

There are options to b rent kosher apartments/studios which might be better options.

Stayed at The Plaza Hotel pre-pandemic, was cheap and clean, and they were happy to provide basic kosher breakfast for a small additional fee (I dont remember the amount but it was marginal)

There is now a Hyatt Cat 1 right near the train station and the Jewish/kosher area.

If I'm not mistaken, it belongs to a Jew.
Hotels are cheap in Antwerp, so unsure if it pays to use points.

Yup and currently you also get 20% back for summer promo and also 500 points for staying at new Hyatt property, so total cost is 3,500.

Shayes has different types of fries.

I would go to Time Out, and eat regular fries with mayonnaise.

Great thanks.
Trying to figure out what makes the most sense. We're stuck with an overnight connection in BRU due to cancellations.  We are scheduled to arrive at 740pm and depart 930am. Does it make sense to come to Antwerp for the night (and if so how) or will it be too late to get food anyways?  Looks like we could make minyan.
