"All of the sugar and lime in the caipirinhas at Astoria’s Favela Grill make it so you don’t even notice the heavy pours of cachaça. The caipirinhas are delicious, and they're worth feeling like the personification of the upside-down head emoji the next morning. But no matter what you drink at this Brazilian spot, a few things need to be on your table, like the Brazilian-style beef jerky and moqueca packed with big pieces of tender fish. On weekends, the space fills up with groups drinking giant towers of beer while live bossa nova plays in the corner." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
