Rice x Beans

"The original Rice ‘n’ Beans closed in 2021, but the same chef is now running this updated iteration on 10th Avenue. The new space has a more modern feel—exposed brick, Edison bulbs, etc.—but the feijoada remains fantastic. It comes packed with bacon, beef, pork ribs, and Portuguese sausage, and it's a non-optional order. To round out your meal, start with some pão de queijo or crispy fried yucca tossed with slivers of smoked sausage." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman

"This long-running Brazilian beanery pulled up stakes after a long presence on Ninth Avenue, and departed for the 10th Avenue frontier. Start with bouncy manioc cheese bread called pão de queijo, then proceed to chicken stew with polenta, grilled skirt steak, or a cauldron of feijoada for one or two, bursting with black-bean-and-porky magnificence." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff

"Feijoada Burlington Coat Factory undersells with its name. After all, electric coffee grinders and ornamental soap holders don’t exactly have a lot to do with outerwear. Rice ‘N’ Beans takes a similar approach. You should go to this small spot in Hell’s Kitchen expecting great rice and beans, but you’ll be very pleasantly surprised when you find that they’ve absorbed a ton of flavor from the five types of meat - bacon, sausage, pork ribs, pork shoulder, and carne seca - that they’re served inside of the feijoada." - matt tervooren
