"Berimbau is the best Brazilian restaurant in the city, and they have a garden patio (which is covered when it's cold out) hidden behind their West Village space. Whenever we’re here, we order the bacon-studded farofa, smoky feijoada, a basket of stress ball-sized pão de queijo, and some not-too-sugary caipirinhas for everyone at the table. Groups of more than five people need to email info@beriumbaurestaurant.com for a reservation, but they can accommodate up to 20 people in case your group dinner is more of a group banquet." - hannah albertine, neha talreja, bryan kim
