Miss Favela

favela chic is the next trend. but i prefer argentinian slums, so when you open up Villa Miseria or Villa Carton, let me know.

great atmosphere, not crazy about the food.

The food is NOT good (found hair in my under-cooked chicken pieces), but the drinks are OK. Due to the chicken incident, I can't stomach going back. I'm surprised this place has survived so long, actually.

Crappy expensive food. The drinks suck too. If you're going to call yourself a Brazilian joint, at least learn how to make a proper Caipiriniah. Service is apathetic and the music is way too loud to maintain a conversation. Skip this and walk down two blocks for Diner/Marlow or Moto.

This place just plain sucks. Sucky drinks. Sucky food. Sucky service. Sucky patrons. Survives only because of imported Eurotrash that likes this kind of sucky thing.

Hate to say it, but as a brazilian this place sucks... food is subpar and very expensive. Caipirinhas are way too sweet and I agree the music is too loud... a shame.

the drinks are so sub-par it is almost impressive. they are so strong, it is like sipping on rubbing alcohol. makes one curious if the bartender knows how to sample her wares or if she even drinks. one assumes a chef knows how to make something tasty, but that too, in the case of Miss Favela, would be going one step too far. it is horrifying that i am not the only one who has twice found hair in my food. i heard from a friend in the know that the female manager (the one with the scowl & rotten attitude) "stole" the chef from the real Miss Favela in Queens & then fired him once they got off the ground b/c they couldn't afford him. of course i can't verify this gossip, but it is curious & would make sense, b/c they can't even serve up a decent meat pie. a lot of hipster & foreign student types show up & seem to enjoy it, but at the end of the night it is often loud mouthed B&T jerks shouting in the street & flexing their muscles. not exactly a progressive or thrilling scene. think Hoboken in the 90s. we have a friend who lives above it & is tortured by the loud music. the manager has said he will move the speakers or install sound proofing but never has. they have been miserable because of the raging bass they blast at this bar. i have been trying to help contact the community board about this place. it's great to have new places open up, but not when they invite clientele that break glass on the sidewalks that we walk our dogs & stroll with our children on, nor when they are shouting and fighting in the street. Miss Favela is not a welcome addition to the 'hood. they don't provide anything praiseworthy. try to avoid this place or boycott it until they turn their music down & reign their patrons in. no reason why they can't have an amazing time without the expense of others' peace & quality of life. if you open a bar in a neighborhood, you should respect the fact that there are working people living above & around you who actually do work & therefore need sleep at night and don't want to hear booming bass all day during the weekends.
