Getting around & quick tips
- Paulista ↔ Barra Funda ↔ Centro runs 15–30 min by app rides off-peak; set a pickup point after big shows.
- Carry a photo ID; casual/smart-casual works. Keep phones zipped and go door-to-door late.
- Blue Note is seated; arriving early improves table choice. Downtown clubs may have lines after 23:00.
