Don't let the Cuba in the name confuse you. Favela Cubana is still just as Brazilian as all the other restaurants on the list; it just happens to also sport a Cuban twist to it. Housing the title of "best Mojito in Manhattan" should be reason enough to get you in the door. And once you're in, you'll never want to leave. Sporting a Latin vibe through the food, decor, and dancing, Favela Cubana makes you forget you're in NYC. Pair your mojitos with an order of fried yuca, the creamier and crispier cousin of the American french fry, for a lighter dinner that still packs quite a bit of flavor.
