"All of the sugar and lime in the caipirinhas at Favela Grill make it so you don’t really notice the heavy pours of cachaça. The cocktails at this Astoria restaurant are excellent, and worth the distinct possibility that you’ll be seeking out some Gatorade about 12 hours later. No matter what you drink here, though, a few things need to be on your table: carne seca covered in sauteed onions, and thick moqueca packed with big pieces of tender fish. Come with a date, and choose your table based on the knowledge that the live bossa nova playing in the corner is quite loud." - Neha Talreja, Matt Tervooren
