This is a spot in Copan building great for weekend lunches, early dinner or even a happy hour.

It's an overpass in the central area of Sao Paulo. At night and on weekends it is closed for cars and becomes the Parque Minhocão (Minhocao Park), when it is occupied by people who want to workout, ride a bike, skate, practice yoga...
