CAPTURING THE DRAMA./
BAR DO COFRE
"The bar is nothing less than the safe in the basement of an extinct bank. With its heavy door, it brings the feeling of being in a different reality from day to day on the surface of SP. It is not a tourist spot + known to few, but it is one of the most incredible places in the city."
@bardocofre
PINACOTECA
"The ideal destination for art + culture lovers in general. The exhibition center has several national works in a wide space. It is another historical heritage of São Paulo."
@pinacotecasp
CASARÃO DO VINIL
"What was supposed to be a store has become a nice place for the old school. With numerous titles + musical genres, the place is the biggest LP specialist in the city. Perhaps even in the country."
