This burlesque club contains a stripper pole, but is hardly worth it unless you know someone who will hook up drinks.

For brunch, the classic dish to get is the Feijoada, but the benny is also solid (and i don't recommend a benny lightly)—you can also ask for ham and spinach together (my favorite). For dinner you can also get the same thing, or the Moqueca (shrimp stew) is incredible. Pro-tip: if you're there for breakfast on a weekday, ask for a egg and cheese (add bacon or ham or avocado) on a croissant. Not on the menu—sounds basic, tastes amazing.

Paris in Brooklyn, etc. I have to try hard not to say 'Garçon.' But either way, 'monsieur' would be more appropriate; proper French waitstaff, proper French food.

The NY Botanical Garden is worth of a visit, so beautiful!

A non-collecting arts institution that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies.
