Suger cane juice: it’s amazing and we love it.
Obviously, it’s our most iconic building.
We love to go to the bars, we love to sit on the street, and we love to drink our cold-ass Brahma, or Skol, or Itaipava. We’d love it even more if the beer was good, but after a few glasses, who cares?
Please, São Paulo is too busy and fast to waste time waiting for the green light.
