"More satisfying still was lunch a week later, at the daytime-only café within the restaurant called Bica, which is shorthand for the Portuguese equivalent of an espresso (and an acronym, some say, for 'beba isto com açúcar,' meaning 'drink it with sugar'). Here are the coxinhas, the pastéis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts), the pão de queijo, gently blistered, chewy cassava-flour-and-cheese rolls ubiquitous in Brazil." - Hannah Goldfield
