"West 46th Street near Times Square was once known as Little Brazil, and it still hosts an annual celebration, but the number of Brazilian restaurants has dwindled over the years. One of the staunch survivors is Via Brasil, founded in 1978 and a wonderfully starchy blast from the past, with white tablecloths and formal service. In addition to excellent feijoada, the menu offers vatapá (seafood porridge), grilled meats served Brazilian style, bobó de camarão and chicken stroganoff, a Russian transplant much loved in Brazil." - Robert Sietsema, Carla Vianna
