Brazilian churrascarias are very popular---an Atkins Dieter's dream---yet most tend to disappoint. Picanha is one of the better ones, thanks to a stylish dining room and food that doesn't seem quite as mass-produced as at some competitors. Begin your evening with a caipirinha, a classic Brazilian cocktail that's the bar's specialty. Then head over to the big salad-appetizer buffet, offering everything from traditional hearts of palm salad, black beans and feijoada, the famous Brazilian stew, as well as a number of unmemorable Americanized starters. Back at your table, however, is the real show. Adjust a marker on the table to green, and a parade of grilled meats will arrive at your table, carved right onto your plate off of long spits that look like swords. The meats---filet mignon, skirt steak, pork ribs, Brazilian sausages, and a cut of sirloin called picanha---will keep coming until you adjust the marker back to red. Desserts include cheesecake, flan and passion fruit mousse.
