I've asked many Brazilians what the best Brazilian restaurant in NYC is. And the spot that comes up most often is Casa, in the West Village. I stopped in last month to check it out, and had a terrific meal.

It's a charming little space, on the beautiful and quaint Bedford St., perfect for a date, or date with yourself, like I usually do.

Brazilian pork sausage ($9.95) with sauteed onions is juicy, flavorful, and delicious.

That staple Brazilian dish Feijoada ($24.95) is done to perfection here. It is the Brazilian national dish of course. A black bean stew with a variety of prime meats, served with white rice, fresh oranges, collard greens, farofa, and vinaigrette sauce. Truly great.

So for some of the best Brazilian in town, make Casa, su casa.
