Suggested route
\n
Option A (music-first, easy logistics): 18:00 Rashid & Kamau (Sesc Santana) → 19:30 ride to Paulista → 20:00 Blue Note tribute (or swap in Bona at 20:00 if you want something quieter). Option B (dance arc): early drinks downtown → Matiz terrace session → 20:00 Bourbon Street for the live Latin set. Option C (date-night): 20:00 Bona (Jade Baraldo) → quick late-night stop at Ephigenia if the sunset party stretches into the evening.

Getting around & quick tips
\n
-
\n \t
- Sunday nights can look “close on the map” but still take time—Pinheiros ↔ Paulista ↔ Moema often works best by rideshare.
- Bring ID. Save ticket QR codes offline (screenshots) in case mobile signal drops at doors.
- Seated venues (Blue Note/Bona) reward early arrival; dance nights (Bourbon/Matiz/Ephigenia) can get better later.
- If you’re chaining two stops, pick one anchor and keep the second flexible—São Paulo detours add up fast.
