Brazil Meets NYC at SOBs

Your hot spot for NYC Fashion Week!

NYC Fashion Week starts this Thursday, September 9th-16th and designers and patrons from all over the world will be flocking to NYC to see the hottest runway designs. After attending numerous fashion events, Obvious Magazine wants to recommend a chic and fun place for you to unwind and dine.

SOB’s is New York’s popular Brazilian food hot spot which features live music from world renowned artists, fruity drinks and vibrant décor in the lower Manhattan neighborhood of Soho. SOB’s is in its 29th year of business and the restaurant has built a reputation as a breeding ground for emerging artists and trends. Even though Brazil is the music of choice, they fuse in African, Caribbean and Latin music to give customers the ultimate Latin culture experience.

The dishes (which are absolutely delicious) are traditional to Brazil but with a contemporary twist. Creative Director Robbin Gold likes to call it “Latin Soulfood.” Some of their popular dishes are Fish Taco, BBQ Salmon, Cuban Roast Pork Sandwich and Bistek Ipanema. Their dishes also have vegan and vegetarian options.

SOB’s  has exciting events to fit your needs during the week. If you’re looking for some place to hang out towards the end of the week SOB’s got you covered as well. Thursday is Basement Bhangra which is a night of music, drinks and dancing with a South Asian twist with DJ Rekha. Friday is Salsa Groove and Saturday is The Brazil Show which features SOB’s Samba dancers and the hottest live Samba bands (straight from Brazil). If you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, you can have brunch on Sunday called Bossa Nova Brunch. They offer a three-course meal of Nuevo Latino for $26.99 (fixed priced), sangria (white or red), and you will listen to the smooth music of Bossa Nova. I personally attended the Bossa Nova Brunch, as well as The Brazil Show on Saturday and both times were absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable and I can’t wait to visit SOB’s again. If you like great food, music, and an upscale atmosphere then SOB’s is your place for Fashion Week.
