If You Only Go to One Place

Ó do Borogodó

If you do ONE thing tonight, squeeze into this tiny Vila Madalena samba den for the Sunday roda. Sunday runs 7 pm to about 12:30 am – perfect Sunday timing – and it is the best samba venue in town if you love to dance, drink and sing along, packing in a lively mix of regulars, students and tourists. Tickets cost up to about R$25; arrive by 8 pm, order a caipirinha, and you will understand São Paulo in one night.
