"Casa isn’t new, and it isn’t exactly unknown (it attracts a decent-sized weeknight crowd), but you get the impression that the people who eat here all live within four blocks of this place. This is a small Brazillian restaurant with a bunch of windows looking out on a quiet block of Bedford Street, and - with its minimally functional vintage-looking chandeliers - it stays about as dark as a medieval library. The food is a little pricey (most entrees are around $28), but the menu is huge, and you can get some great empanadas and a solid version of the Brazilian stew known as feijoada here. It’s an ideal place to bring a last-minute date or some relatives who just announced that they’re in town, and if you poll all your friends, you’ll probably find that none of them know about Casa." - Bryan Kim
