Many bars in São Paulo seem to have a Rio theme. Coincidence? Carioca envy? We're not sure, but Bossa Nueva is no different. The vast back wall shows a floor-to-ceiling photo of 1960s Copacabana. The bar itself has a pleasant casual atmosphere, with small tables downstairs awash in mellow music. If you're a little puzzled over the picture, don't worry, it's not the booze; the wall photo is a reverse mirror image of the original. Open Tuesday through Friday 5pm to 3am, Saturday and Sunday noon to until the last person leaves.
