On Sundays, Avenida Paulista’s car‑free hours also mean a long corridor of food stalls and trucks, from quick street snacks to full meals. Many vendors sell classic Brazilian street food: pastéis (deep‑fried stuffed pastries), sugar‑cane juice, grilled meat skewers and regional dishes, alongside beer and soft drinks. Mixed in you’ll often find stalls with international bites, vegan and vegetarian options, and dessert stands, so you can graze your way along the avenue while watching concerts, protests or performances.
