Miss Favela

Editorial Review

Authentic botequim, or Brazilian bistro, scenically nestled near the Williamsburg Bridge. Luckily, less hillside slum, more Amazonian oasis. Bright paint scheme of patriotic green and yellow, tropically chipped metal chairs, plastic table runners. Yucca-centric fare like carne seca com mandioca, a toothsome beef jerky app. House special moqueca de peixe com pirão is saffron stew bobbing with veggies, coconut milk, and a spicy dollop of yucca fish fat paste. Cachaca cocktails snowballed with shredded coco. Pumping Carnaval-worthy soundtrack, often live, seven nights a week.
