 You don't need a reservation for a weeknight.  Whenever I go, I like to go
 in the evenings around 7 or 8, and even if I have to sit at the bar for a
 few minutes, that means I can get a caipirinha, which is an insanely
 delicious drink made with crushed limes and cane brandy.  They also have
 delicious sangría.

 There is a buffet for cold foods and casseroles, and the selection is
 extremely fresh and very good.  All sorts of cold seafood dishes, cold
 salads, cold marinated mushrooms, and then the hot bar with casseroles,
 fried bananas, gravies, rice dishes, etc.  They also have a wine area.

 You get a little wooden block on your table that is green on one end and red
 on the other.  If you want meat, you turn it up to green.  Then the fellows
 with the skewered meats come to your table and serve it to you bit by bit
 every 5-10 minutes, such as filet in bacon, turkey in bacon, brazilian
 sausage, prime rib, barbecued chicken, barbecued pineapple, etc.

 A friend of mine who spent 2 years in Brazil and who lives in NYC, said that
 this was still the best churrascaría she had ever found outside of Brazil.
