Read Your Way Through São Paulo

There’s also Megafauna, in the historic center of São Paulo, on the ground floor of the city’s most emblematic residential building — the snaking, Modernist housing block called Edifício Copan. The building itself is well worth visiting: It was designed by Oscar Niemeyer, the architect who also designed the country’s capital, Brasília, and the United…

Pasta That’s Almost Too Pretty to Eat

Artisanal Noodles in Acid-Trip Colors David Rivillo’s rainbow ravioli is equal parts art and science.
