Botequim Carioca Brazilian Bar & Grill

What could be better than a Brazilian sports bar, located almost directly across from American Airlines Arena? Stop in before or after a Heat game for a terrific steak sandwich, made with sirloin and cheddar cheese (but called a cheeseburger de picanha) or the house special chicken sandwich with mozzarella and dried tomatoes. Tasty apps that go great with beer include spicy calamari or a bowl of feijoada, served as soup. For a light, sophisticated sweet, try the "Romeo E Julieta" guava jam with catupiry cheese. Then watch a futbol game on tv or a basketball in person, and watch other athletes burn calories; after all, you stay svelte by cheering. Just beware, during Brazilian national games, of the clamor of the vuvuzuela.
