Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Bom Bom has been our go-to for the past week. We come to…read morethis corner luncheonette daily for a taste of freshly pressed watermelon or orange juice (they also offer a medley of other fruit options) and a cup of delicious Brazilian coffee. The pão de quiejos are pretty alright and the other fried delights are ready to grab and go. For lunch, you can find people piling into the indoor/outdoor tables for fixings of rice and beans and some cutlet of chicken, pork or steak. Then around happy hour, people stop by for a beer or caipirinha. This petite bustling business, has options whether you want to sit at the counter solo, join friends at a table or even order delivery. It's the perfect neighborhood spot!

I also get to practice my Portuguese, which consists of "si" followed by a thumbs up, or a wink! Good food, good service, and lots of smiley Brazilians who seem to enjoy the way I communicate. If you're in the neighborhood and want something simple I'd recommend checking Bom Bom out - it's not fancy by any means but I like that! Ciao ciao.

I love Forquilha…read more Tonight was my first night out of 6 months in Brasil. When my husband came home from work, he listed out the regular places that we usually go when we visit Brasil. Last minute, we decided to try something new - Forquilha. I didn't know what to expect, and I'll admit it, I was a little grumpy when we first arrived. However, we were warmly greeted and were seated instantly. I saw a giant wood oven in the corner, and a colorful bar where bartenders expertly made drinks. We ordered up a Hendricks martini and a Moscow Mule. My mood instantly was on an upswing when our cocktails came. My Moscow Mule had some sort of whipped foam on top which I've never seen before. The cocktail was interesting and delicious, and I gladly ordered more throughout the evening. My husbands martini was on point - in fact, it officially ruined every other martini I've ever had, it was that smooth. For an appetizer, we ordered a flat bread stuffed with cheese and prosciutto on top. On account of my not eating meat, they kindly put the prosciutto on the side for my husband to have on his pieces only. Very thoughtful. It was delicious and eaten instantly. For entrees, we ordered the bacalhau rice and a pizza with pumpkin. While both were delicious, the bacalhau rice was especially phenomenal. I had several bites of my husbands plate and secretly wished that I had ordered it. We unfortunately did not partake in dessert, but after scouring Instagram later in the evening, I really wish I went with that Nutella tiramisu! Next time. This restaurant was a great find - friendly service, fantastic drinks and cuisine, and did I mention the music? I just about lost my mind when Breakbot came on! I loved everything about this spot, and I can't wait to go back.

Merhaba! The lunch…read morebuffet has some of the finest examples of Turkish cuisine. Succulent, deeply marinated chicken kebab. Moist kofta. Delicious kibbe and falafel. Then there is cig kofte--a Turkish spin on steak tartare, and some of the most delectable dolma I have ever tasted. The staples of babaganoush, hummus, tabouleh and salads were spot on. As were the roasted vegetables. The Pulau (rice) was spot on. Baklava and other instagrammable pastries were on show. The stuffed peppers were yummy. The entree that I could not get enough of was the moussaka. Whereas the Greek version is often mild and homogeneous, this Turkish version is much louder in flavors and punchier. Did not get to all of the items on the spread--too many mind blowing options! Get a plate and pay by weight. Or go for the buffet if you can't restrain yourself...like me. Teşekkür ederim.
