We can and we must say that there is no more contrasting city than São Paulo, albeit in numbers. Numbers out of the ordinary.
Not easy to write of such a cosmopolitan city, so fascinating, so unpredictable . Understanding São Paulo city is too complicated task best left to talk with natives than trying to understand all the complexity that surrounds this city.
Not easy eithter to summarize kind of such city, so, we opted to name in this post points which can describe its abundance in nature, fruits, soil, cuisine, styles! We belive this is the best way to attempt to interpret the city. Thus it is possible to show the reader the impression of its grandeur and wealth far beyond a single large city.

Brazil and still enjoy to taste the typical snacks in town , washed down with a

Not only
concrete in abundance Sao Paulo is done ! Nature is no shortage here! And of
course with the fundamental characteristic of the city, in abundance ! Of the
95 parks, we cite here the Park
Ibirapuera (Tupi word meaning " IBIRA " tree = + = PUERA already off ) . This name is because the area was marshy ground, but that was resolved with the planting of eucalyptus that drained soil. Opened in 1954, today is the most important city park.

Original Cuisine
 |
| Cynthia Camargo |
It is very
difficult to tell because there are thousands of excellent restaurants in São
Paulo! From steakhouses ( fascination of tourists ), local food from Bahia (exceptional ) to the best of international cuisine with Italian taverns,
pizzerias, French, Japanese restaurants ... The list is
endless and we think, be the most difficult to pinpoint where to go ... For
this task we decided that would be the best indication of Brazilians serving
typical Brazilian food in general!
 |
| Pedro Preturlon |
Still also
recommend that eat the food street, the fair of the
Republic Square or even in any corner pub there will always be a delicious
pastel, bolinhos de arroz, coxinhas, acarajés...
After a stroll
through the City Market, it's time to present to the taste and the other
senses the experience of Brazilian food and São Paulo gives us what is best. For a
true Brazilian dining experience, we list 5 places more than required :

The famous Brazilian chef Alex Atala ( DOM also owns the
restaurant), the Dalva e Dito stands out as a democratic place , with a typical
Brazilian environment serving old traditional Brazilian recipes .

The best chef woman of all time, Helena Rizo, for those who appreciate a full of charm and flavor, totally avant-garde cuisine is obligatory tasting his unpublished creations !
Fans of Brazilian high gastronomy will not be disappointed by this rare example of a famous chef making truly traditional dishes. Mara Salles was inspired by her roots in rural São Paulo state to work mostly with local ingredients and to highlight regional dishes.

Morena Leite’s Jungle Book restaurant features two gardens. The front bar patio is reminiscent of Bahian beaches, with wooden benches and throw pillows; and the stunning back garden is fit for Amazonian royalty. (Time out)
In this city you can see some traces its
history through architecture There is no style, but all at once! We are probably in sixth or seventh city as we did not know very well to live with the
past and spent over almost everything that was " old " , but we have
our cultural references scattered throughout this city and our impressive
collection of modern architecture quite representative .
