Porcão
360 Park Avenue South (at 26th Street)

When my London friend made it back to New York for a few days and looked for a good night out, I went through a lot of different options. Nothing looked perfect -- the good places booked, others were just inconvenient on a rainy evening. So we went with the safety of Porcão -- the volume and the volume...

I've explained in a previous post why I like Porcão so much more than other Brazilian places, partly because they have a more reckless abandon method to this already extreme eating process. And we ended up with 2 bottles of wine, a lot of meat, and a wonderful evening.

Some of the cuts of meat were wonderful, such as the bacon-wrapped filet mignon, as well as the sirloin and the lamb. I was a little disappointed with the limited sides, but the meats were fantastic. They were fatty, flavourful and dreamy...

After a few hours, a lot of food and wine, some more dessert wine and coffee, we wandered into the rain happy and extremely full...this place is always wonderful for a feast!
