Staring through a hotel window at a horizon stocked with skyscrapers, sipping cachaca cocktails & sampling slivers of sublime charred meats, soaking up carnaval beats; contemplating the cross-pollination of nations and the waves of immigration that made this place so utterly unique... one week to scrape the surface of this South American sprawl, before I leave Brasil yet again enchanted and enthralled...

Dinner @ Bar de arts
Finished up the meeting with a sublime meal at the Bar des Arts in Itaim. The highlight for me was a sublime lamb carpaccio drizzled with a mustard grain sauce... Wow. Between the fantastic food and the very strong caipirinhas, I was done early. Frommer's has this to say about the place:
"This is the place to go when you're trying to convince that would-be partner that, appearances to the contrary, you really do have a sweet and sensitive side. Set in a large garden beneath mature trees, the tables surround an Italian marble fountain whose soft gurgling combines with the flickering candlelight to create a feeling of magic."
There's a better review here. The food was fantastic.
