Best Brazilian food in Manhattan

[desgun]

Anyone got any suggestions for authentic Brazilian foods - Not just a bar but with those yummy meat on skewers

I'm no expert on brazilian food but i'll second the via brasil rec.
the bacalhau is really tasty.

Plataforma and Porcao are among the best in churrascaria in Manhattan.

When I am in the mood for non-churrasco type of food (i.e., feijoada or moqueca) I head to Via Brasil on 46th b/w 5 and 6. Awesome moqueca and caipirinhas. They also have live Bossa Nova which is very relaxing.

I've been meaning to try Via Brasil because of the music. I was unimpressed by a recent visit to Emporium Brasil.

Yep, def try the moqueca, frango a passarinho and the feijoada.

Plata Forma is the best! 49th between 8th and 9th.

I really enjoy Zebu Grill ... but don't know if they have meat on skewers - I think their menu is on menupages.com.

I haven't been there in years but you might want to try Cabana Carioca on west 45 street in Manhattan. Whoops, I believe they have closed!

i don't know about "best" only because i haven't tried them all - and most folks i know say the best brazilian is in queens or better yet jersey city - but i have enjoyed my meals at delicia on w. 11th in the west village. esp. good is the cheese bread - pao de quejio (sp?) - baked fresh - the meat feijoida - and the shrimp moqueca in butternut squash. warning - call in advance - they have been closed when i've tried to go in the past. also - sit back with some caipirinha and relax - their service is notoriously slow - but it works if you go and expect a leisurely meal. and they are very nice folks.
and sorry about my spelling!
