Miss Favela:
Miss Favela, or Miss Shantytown as the translation goes, manages the difficult feat of taking you out of Brooklyn and placing you in a scene that's slummy, hip, and clean all at once. Located almost directly under the Billyburg bridge, Miss Favela offers a breezy, colorful Rio-inspired retreat away from the hubbub of downtown hipsterville. While loud samba music blasts through this corrugated metal space (complete with graffiti-splattered bathrooms), you won’t find shantytown prices here—although not having food from a shantytown is the upside. Expect dishes and desserts particular to Brazil as well as traditional drinks like the caipirinha (cachaça, sugar and lime) and batidas (cachaça and fresh fruit), like the batida de maracuja (passion fruit) and batida de coco (coconut milk). Down a few of those and you’ll be sashaying your way to nearby Bembe in no time. Open Sun.-Thu. noon-midnight, Fri.-Sat. noon-1am.
I went to Miss Favela to have fun. Right? Sorry! totally wrong!!! I never being so mistreat by my own people. Once you sit dow Watch out. The waiter by pressure from the owner or sort of manager started to rush us out the table. If not enough, the guy came to me saying that he couldn't wait any longer. Also he got the balls to say that we had 5 mins ONLY to ordered it, otherwise we should leave the D**** table. Are you kidding me? What unpleasant time...He was so INATTENTIVE!!! The place was too crowd, the waiter so unexperienced, the music so loud, the food awful and so and so. These people didn't deserved my money whatsoever. I can't be more expressive showing my disappointment. PS: WHAT A SHAME!!!!!!.That these people are representing the brasilian population in NY (Brooklyn).
