From the Saturday Stumper

A clue from the Newsday Saturday Stumper, 20-Across, five letters: “Central Brussels.” No spoilers; the answer is in the comments.

Today’s puzzle is by Matthew Sewell. Finishing a Saturday Stumper is always cause for minor self-congratulation.

ESSES. That is, BruSSels.

The "cyptic crossword", or as the English call them the "crossword", clue for that might be: Central Brussels, we hear.

Good one. How about “Sights and sounds of central Brussels”? Not as concise as yours though.

The SW corner of the NYT puzzle was stumping me for a while, and then after I got that done, I finished the Saturday Stumper, too. Red Letter Day! Sometimes it takes all week.....
Happy Christmas!
