Caixa – Luso – October 14, 2017
Luso is the Portuguese restaurant on the corner of the block where we were staying; while having dessert with our hostess, we met the restaurant owner, a friend who had also been invited over. When I learned of the live music situation, I wrangled access and crammed myself into some small spaces while dinner proceeded; I was there only to sketch, not to scarf, my loss. While the food has Portuguese roots in Brazil and Goa, as well as the mother country (and receives excellent reviews), the lovely music seemed mostly to be sourced from Brazil.
