Well São Paulo is the destination of the business tourism in South America.Here you will find one of the best italians,japaneses restaurant all because the biggest community of both are located here.
(add more info soon) The picture above is from Ibirapuera Park with an area of 1.6 million m2, this is one of the most visited park of São Paulo. It is the result of one of the first great projects of the brazilian architect Oscar Neimeyer and the landscapist Burle Marx, Ibirapuera exceeds the concept of a mere park. There, it is installed the building of 'Bienal' and the Data Processing Company of São Paulo City (PRODAM), in addition to Planetarium, Obelisco, Monumento das Bandeiras, The Folklore Museum and the Museum of Aeronautics.
The park is intersected by paved streets and gathers four lakes interchanged by channels, cooper tracks, multi-sports courts, dog training, snack bars, playgrounds and areas of infantile recreation. There is still a large arboretum and a Japanese pavillion, with a replic of the Imperial palace of Kyoto. In addition to leisure equipment, Ibirapuera park counts on a first-aid ambulatory and public telephones.

Unfortunately, I can't come up with a big list. Due to the language problem and the fact that I was NEVER introduced to some nice and interestingly spots by the brazilians around me (so much for brazilian hospitality; but I think it is a specific problem of Sao Paulo), I can only point out to irish bars - O'Malley's and Finnegan's Pub.
People speak english there, so you can finally talk to someone. Any dress will do.
Because of the hectic schedule...

Because of the hectic schedule I was only able to go out with our local business partners once at night (the rest was brought in) and it was to Figueira. Named after the famous giant old tree which the resturant is built around. You can sit under the tree (the branches are three feet around and extend out 50 feet) which is an open canopy setting or sit inside.
It's upscale but not too pricey. Dinner for three with drinks (mostly me) was about $150 US. Oh and it's very busy, everynight with the local affluents. If you're on Brasilian time you don't venture out to forrage until after 8:00 pm. So make a reservation. The filet was great! It has a open BBQ pit (not all you can eat though) and the aroma is fantastic. Brasilian beef is amongst the purist in the world. They salt it heavily though but nothing a fresh Caipirinha can fix.
CARNAL PLEASURES.......
by schurlif about CHURRASCARIA PRAZERES DA CARNE
I discovered this sinfully heavenly paradise for the pampered palate three days ago, by accident....
We just wanted to eat "something", that's what we told the taxi driver and this is where he took us.... Prazeres da carne , Pleasures of the meat , but in double meaning, Carnal Pleasures or Carnal Knowledge.....
It's one of the 5 star churrascarias with all the offer you can possibly imagine , let alone swallow....
Superb big, whole, boiled shrimps; squid carpaccio, delicately seasoned; sushi, sashimi, houmus, babagamouche.... various original seafood plates, paella, squid, octopus, fresh oysters.... salads, mushrooms, asparagus, artichoke hearts , normal potatoes, sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, mandioc, polenta, differently prepared rice choices and so on and so on.....
Seated at the table the meats come flying your way once you put the little round gadget with the green side up before you... ( the other side is red when you want to eat undisturbed for a while....)
All the meat goodies like Picanha, Fraldinha, Cupim, Alcatra, Maminha, Filet Mignon from Argentinia....Chicken, chickenhearts, turkey, pheasant... Suckling piggie, pork chops, pork ribs, spicy sausages, blood sausages .... And these are just SOME examples of what you get served here.... Without any kidding, every single item tasted wonderfully.... I personally enjoyed most the seasoned squid carpaccio, the salmon sashimi, the houmus, the suckling piggy and the blood sausage....
All I can say : You want to pamper your palate , get a real, I mean, a REAL good meal, this is the place....
