"Feijoada Just as someone can only be nominated once per category at the Oscars, restaurants can only be highlighted for one dish in this guide. And just like this rule prevented Leo from a The Departed nomination in 2007, it’s keeping Berimbau from occupying multiple spots here. With that said, if you only order one dish at this West Village spot, it should be the feijoada. The slow-simmered bean stew is packed with pork, which has the pull-apart texture you’d expect from stewed meat, and the bark and smoke rings you’d find after a slow-cook in a smoker. Top it with some of the bacon-studded farofa that comes on the side, and you’ll have NYC’s best version of Brazil’s most famous dish." - matt tervooren
