"The neighborhood east of Times Square along 46th Street is known as Little Brazil, and is the site of an annual festival. Once there were a dozen restaurants, now few remain. The best is Via Brasil, a semi-formal, old-fashioned place where classic Brazilian fritters, the national dish feijoada, and a handful of Afro-Brazilian dishes like shrimp moqueca are served. Cachaça flows freely." - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart
