Berimbau do Brasil is a fairly well known West Village Brazilian restaurant. According to my first and last notes, I had tried the feijoada and the picanha, and both were excellent. My partner was craving a lot of this food recently, so we decided to try the new Midtown location of this restaurant. The menu has changed decently, but we were interested to see if the flavors were still consistent to their West Village location.

I remember visiting Yoon Haeundae Galbi a while back when they first opened. Galbi is basically beef short ribs, and normally in the U.S., these short ribs are rather small. I haven’t found any place in NYC that uses a large rib similar to the ones I had in Suwon, South Korea. When they take the meat off the rib, they also cook the tendons very thoroughly on the grill and it becomes crispy and edible.

The lomo saltado was ok. The sauces cost 60 cents extra.

This place was really good for Thai food. Would love to come back again for their Tom Yum noodle soup and their soft shell crab special. Price was not expensive at all either.

This was in a small mall, and it was pretty good. We got the eclairs and apple flan.

The cream of spinach tastes like Lawry’s. The horseradish cream was good. The prime rib not as good as Keen’s.

This is Marc Forgione’s fast food-ish restaurant near Penn Station. I got the chili lobster here, but it’s not as good as having it at the restaurant. It’s also CLOSED.

Pretty good tsukemen. Get the spicy miso. Tsukemen seems fairly rare in NYC. Still looking for something similar to LA Tsujita.

I think this is still one of my top favorite ramen places in NYC. It’s cash only.

It seems I only wrote “pretty good” on my spreadsheet, and right now I am drawing a blank about this place.
