Para esquecer

This post will tell a brief story in which, unfortunately, has everything, or almost everything wrong, at least from the middle to the end. The epilogue, as you, the reader, can see is just above. Nothing got me rotate the picture to provide uam more comfortable reading. Forgiveness, so if you come to have a stiff neck because of it. 

The photo itself, in itself, of my own, it's a disaster. Made with the iPhone 3GS, does not have focus. But I think you can see the pearl through which the cold mix was translated into English: "mixed". Very good, right?

Brazilian pastry: savory roots

In times of glamorization of everything - even the bolovo, which has won around his gourmet version ... -, was an encouragement to have returned to Brazilian Pastry and note that, since my last visit, a handful of years ago, nothing has changed for there. 

The day before yesterday evening, before going to the supermarket, I stopped to eat a crayon that address that opened in 1975, is one of the most traditional region of Partridges, in front of the Bourbon Mall and a few meters ahead of the main entrance of the Palms. 

If the street at that hour, the thermometer marked a 26 degrees in there the Saharan heat was due to the lack of air-conditioning or fans and intense productivity pans, which leave drumsticks, rissoles, fried dumplings and pastries in hour.

In Vila Olimpia, a delicious pig to bairrada

You certainly are not to have noticed, dear reader, but then something changed this text above, to the right of my photo that contains my profile. Besides proud to continue telling my impressions about what ando eating and drinking good or bad (in general good, for believing that this is what might interest you), since March I joined the team at Men's Health magazine Brazil. 

As you can imagine, the period of professional transition is never easy, why will understand my absence for a few weeks in this space. The good news is that during this interval could return to New York, where I met new addresses, of which I will share soon. And, of course, visited and reviewed some carve and restaurants, in the same way, I believe that merit a report.

The new and classic drinks in SubAstor

Do not know about you, but in my opinion the Astor and SubAstor double bunker is perfect for the season of cold nights. The combination of fine cuisine, lounges and balconies invariably flowering and reputable Cocktails is killer. 

I have felt the lack of caipirinhas Tarcisius bartender who was promoted to manager of Pirajá (bar that belongs to the same owners of the Astor) the Morumbi Shopping) and occasionally brought their vacation in the mining zone Mata good bottles of rum. 

In contrast, Neto, who went on SubAstor, climbed to the balcony of the Astor and has held the scolding 

with praise: ordered well in negroni and the manhattan I asked.
