8 This is a must! Live Samba music is played in most of the city’s bars on Saturdays afternoon through to the evening and night,   Eating some lunch, having some drinks, and dancing to live Samba music is a way for Paulistanos to unwind after a busy week.  For the best live Samba and traditional Saturday food (feijoada) go to Bar Samba in Vila Madalena. The mix of local people and tourists in the crowd are fun, but remember–don’t bring your inhibitions.     
Outdoor Markets
9 On most Sundays, the area around MASP on Avenida Paulista hosts two fabulous eclectic outdoor markets.  The area under the museum becomes a huge antique market, and the area across the street is a handicrafts market where great street food is also sold.  If you’re in the Bixiga neighbourhood, try the antique market at Praça Don Orione on Sundays.

10 Dotted around the streets of Sao Paulo are fun little stalls and food trucks and most if not all of them sell the famous Brazilian coconut water.  There is a huge variety of flavours so try a few and see what you think.  As well as the water they also see juices, most are made from the pulp of the fruit directly from the Amazon so get one with sugar as they can be really tart but fun to try.
