Beco

"Beco has expanded its outdoor seating area and is now open from 12-10pm everyday. Stop by this Brazilian spot for filet mignon and eggs at brunch, or feijoada and moqueca at dinner. Either way, order plenty of pão de queijo and caipirinhas." - matt tervooren

"Beco is another option for when you’re pretty sure that you like someone and want to eat some food on a second date, and it’s the sort of place that will make someone say, “I can’t believe I’ve never been here.” The Brazilian food isn’t anything mind-blowing, but the place is small and charming, and it feels like a real neighborhood spot. Just be aware that it’s cash-only." - bryan kim

"Just minutes from our office, you can always find someone at Beco—grabbing coffee or enjoying a sandwich. During soccer season, this tiny Brazilian cafe is packed with fans and you can hear cheering down the block with every goal." - Krrb

"Beco and Miss Favela are both airy, cash-only Brazilian spots in Williamsburg with live music, sidewalk seating, pitchers of caipirinha, and very good pão de queijo and feijoada. But if they’re like siblings, then Beco is the responsible one that’s put in charge when the parents are away. It has boozy brunch and bongo drums, but it never gets wall-to-wall packed like Miss Favela, and the focus here is always more on eating big portions of filling food than taking shots with strangers." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Beco is a Brazilian spot that feels like a holdout from when Williamsburg was still cool. It’s also open all day, so you can come get an acai bowl or steak and eggs before a hard day of laying in the park, or head here afterwards to eat some feijoada and drink caipirinhas at an outdoor table. Either way, there will probably be live music and bongo drums." - matt tervooren
