The day after Thanksgiving is usually spent recovering from the massive amounts of foods consumed the day before, or it is spent shopping because of ‘Black Friday’. I spent the day after Thanksgiving eating yet another monstrous feast in New York City. My brother and his wife came in from L.A., as well as his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who are from Ohio. We wanted to give everyone a good taste of New York while they were in, so we went into the city, walked around the crowded streets of 5th Avenue, watched the ice skaters at Rockefeller Plaza, and went sightseeing around Time Square. For dinner we went to Plataforma Churrascaria Rodizio, a wonderful Brazilian Restaurant.

| The Salad Bar |
At Plataforma Churrascaria, They serve a wide variety of different cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken, etc., in succession, to each diner individually right at their table, thus there is not a traditional menu. The restaurant features a fixed-price continuous tableside service. Also, it’s very difficult to not fill up on the amazing salad bar, which contains an assortment of beans, salads, sushi, and other special appetizers.
At the table there is a round card at each setting, which has a red side and a green side. When you’re ready for the waiters to bring around the huge cuts of meats, you flip the card over on the green side and let the meat fest begin. If you are a meat-lover, then this restaurant experience is pretty much the closest thing to heaven on earth. My favorite is the prime beef, it’s so tender, juicy, and flavorful- it melts in your mouth. Another favorite of mine happens to be the chicken wrapped in bacon- it’s to die for!

| Caipirinha |
For those who are of the legal drinking age, I recommend Plataforma Churrascaria’s famous specialty beverage called “Caipirinha.” This drink is a concoction of fresh limes, sugar, ice and "Cachaça" - Brazilian liquor made from raw sugar cane, martinis and many non-spirited beverages. It’s delicious!
Once you turn that card over on the green side, it’s very hard to turn it back over onto the red side. The food is so scrumptious- no matter how uncomfortably full you are- you still just want to keep eating! If you are ever in New York City, Plataforma Churrascaria is a must! Most all-you-can-eat places tend to have a crumby quality of food, but not Plataforma Churrascaria! It’s a 5-star restaurant all-around, with a fixed price of $50 per person! I highly recommend Plataforma Churrascaria because it’s an eating experience you will never forget!
