[QUOTE=MoneySign;3023413]1) You cannot be serious with that number. I assume that's just a hyperbole. You mean 500+ only on that weekend, NOT earlier in that week or right after? Is it just this time ONLY because a NFL game actually plays in SP this year, OR is it just an opening week of the NFL season that happens every year? I guess I'm trying to see the correlation there. I'm kind of surprised that Brazilians even care about NFL since Brazil is a football (soccer) nation.

3) When you're mongering in SP by yourself, I'm curious where you guys normally go to eat. I know you can eat in the clubs, but you may not go there every single night. I guess I would probably go to any quick place that I can serve myself like a buffet restaurant or something. I would feel awkward to go to a fancy or high end restaurant sitting alone being served by a waiter. Where would you recommend go to eat? Any favorite spot / restaurant for solo traveler?[/QUOTE]1) Yes, very odd, why would Brazilians care about American football? Could it be the US teams like to bring their players and supporters to SP because of the sex to be had in SP? Sex is a taboo, and prostitution is a serious crime in the Land of Freedom & Liberty, so they won't tell you. It's the 2nd year in a row the NFL takes place in SP.
2) As a monger in SP I loved to eat in shopping mall food courts whenever I was alone. That's also where I liked to watch sexy local girls coming and going. I ate twice at Scandallo and found the food inferior to what I was getting at a good food court. Plus, I didn't much like the interaction with the Scandallo waiters, always had the impression they were fishing for tips. Even the chocolate cakes were average. To me, eating at Scandallo was wasting an opportunity to eat at a steakhouse (like Fogo de Chao) or at a nice food court. I never tasted the feijoada buffet though.
