São Paulo · Nightlife
If You Only Go to One Place
Ó do Borogodó
If you do one thing tonight, squeeze into this tiny Pinheiros samba house. Since 2001 it has hosted the most important names in samba, choro and Brazilian rhythms — a simple house with the best music in the city, and it is a Thursday-perfect night: locals dancing centimetres from the band, cold beer, zero tourist gloss. Concerts start around midnight and Thursdays are among the best nights — arrive by 10.30 pm for a table and let São Paulo happen to you.
