Where to Eat: Dicas de Quem Sabe
I haven’t lived here in twenty years so I leave the dining scene recommendations to my local friends who love to eat. Meet Vivian, or as I call her, Vivi, she has an artisan fashion brand @dymeplease and she is one of the most fun people I know, even for cariocas, her “alegria” always stands out! My guess is even my Rio friends will find a good tip in this mix.
