As the summer slowly draws to a close, we can't think of a better way of celebrating than with this natural pairing at on of the city's most underrated food markets.
Brazilian Day 2018/ Sunday, September 2, 2018 at 11am
Celebrate Brazilian culture without hopping a plane to Rio (although you should and take our tours down there). Along 46th Street, which is also known as Little Brazil, there will be traditional music, food vendors, and plenty of Brazilian energy and culture. Don't miss the party!!
