Casanova Brazilian Barbeque
Brazilian food is heavy on spice and flavor, but eating at a Brazilian restaurant is about more than the food; it's about atmosphere and fun. Casanova Brazilian Barbeque provides both. The restaurant's lobby boasts a selection of paintings from local artists, and its sound system plays a lively soundtrack that's soft enough to allow conversation. As in most Brazilian restaurants, meat is a specialty.

Seabra's Rodizio
Located near the baseball home of the Newark Bears, Seabra's Rodizio is a great place to hang out after a game. Meat, chicken, sausage, pork and other Brazilian specialties are served. If you're looking for something a bit unusual, you can try the alligator tail or ostrich. If you'd rather sample a large variety of Brazilian food, you can try Seabra's large buffet. Seabra's is usually busy and boisterous, but that's all part of the experience at this restaurant.
