Food Sao Paulo 1

In this nice 24 hours bakery you can either take a coffee to start the day or eat pizza to end the night – usually after going to a club in Paulista region. The place is a mix of traditional bakery, restaurant, snack bar, pizzeria and mini market. Really tasty!

Shop Sao Paulo 2

This three decades old record shop is not only the best place to find national and international musical rarities and limited edition cds and LPS, but also to discover more about São Paulos indie music scene. The shop is located in Galeria do Rock, a kind of underground 60s shopping mall where you can buy CDs, records, videos, clothes, accessories and every other stuff related with rock music. There are also piercing and tattoo studios all over the place.

the major urban park in São Paulo, Parque do Ibirapuera, contains some of the best museums of the city, most of them designed by brazilian famous architect Oscar Niemeyer.

Culture Sao Paulo 5

the largest Japanese community outside Japan the quarter of Liberdade, is a great place to be visited on Sundays. There are nice restaurants each corner and the streets are always full of visitants looking for some japanese food and culture. There are many markets, shops, kareoke bars and even a budist temple. Its a unique place with a very lively atmosphere.

Culture Sao Paulo 6

My second home… “…a contemporary art gallery that has a strong link with underground culture, Since its first show, in 2004, Choque has become a safe harbor for artists coming from such different places as tattoo, graffiti, graphic design and illustration among others. Choque Cultural is based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a big city that is known by the art spread by its street walls, by the big number of talented graffiti artists and by the originality of the works that spring out everyday. All this creative energy is at ease inside the gallery with its ever changing environment, carefully painted by the artists, what makes each show an installation…”

After Dark Sao Paulo 7

This little bar in a garage is a lovely alternative to the always crowed bars around Paulista. It doesn’t have more than ten tables on the sidewalk and a small desk with banks inside.
Dida (the owner) is usually there and helps to prepare great toasted sandwiches while she puts the best of jazz, Brazilian and indie music to play. To drink, theirs beer, different types of cachaça and exotic caipirinhas. A great friendly atmosphere that brings together all kinds of people.

After Dark Sao Paulo 8

Cool place to start the night. In the menu, latin american dishes such as chilis and salteñas, but also some nice sanduiches with french fries. The place is both a bar and a restaurant and the decor is something else. Many posters, photos and great illustrations in the walls. Good options of beers and live music almost every night.

After Dark Sao Paulo 9

indie concerts + art exhibitions, a club to listen to some live new music! The type of sound varies according to the day of the week, and goes from totally experimental to unusual cover bands!
