Description
Brunch is the main draw at this laid-back Nolita eatery, but lines can get long. Lunch is infinitely more mellow. Inside, the tightly spaced tables can feel either cozy or cramped. Opt for gutsy Brazilian dishes like xin xin de galinha, chicken with a dried-shrimp-and-peanut sauce; or camarão a Bahiana, shrimp swimming in coconut milk with green peppers, tomatoes and cilantro.
