Brazil: Miss Favela
This colorful restaurant is one of the more lively and fun places to eat and drink in NYC. Located on the edge of Williamsburg, Miss Favela has become a staple of Brazilian food. Getting all the carioca vibes with its painted walls and tropical cocktails (capirinha? yes, please!). This botequim offers traditional dishes such as feijoada, an upgraded version of the delicious rice and beans, and moqueca de peix, a fish stew with vegetables and coconut milk. So if you wish you were in a tropical beach right now, transport to Rio while dining out with friends and listening to live Brazilian music at Miss Favela.
