You did say you were looking for something not found in the U.S. I recommend a wonderful restaurant in Rio that is more than one hundred years old. It is a very "upscale" restaurant and is located in a unique and attractive building. In fact, there is no restaurant or building in Rio similar to it. You don't want to go there alone because you will be the only one dining alone. The menu is great and the food is also great. The prices are a little on the high side but worth it, in my opinion. Here is a link to the web site for the restaurant - http://www.confeitariacolombo.com.br/siteen/ The web site can be viewed either in Portuguese or English. There is a map on the web site as well as photos of some of the food available. The restaurant is located in downtown Rio. Everything you need to know in advance is shown on the restaurant's site.

Porcao in Ipanema is one of my favorites. Scenarium is also fun and lively. ihpguy took me to a few unique places and one was within walking distance of the JW Marriott and was very good por kilo and I ate there many times but can't remember the name.

If I get to lay on the beach, and suck a cock later, I'm a happy camper.... Hot, sweaty churches, you guys can have them....

Porto Alegre Shereton hotel Mezzaninu Plataforma Bar Mixx My hat is off to TomCal and all his advice from his posting on PA. Airport to hotel, Very easy, there is a white taxi booth next to airport exit door, and the flat rate is 26R for a no meter run to the Sheraton. (On the return from the Sheraton to airport the return cost was 20R with meter) so for the extra money and first time drive into town, do the flat rate until you get your sea legs. Sheraton Hotel They did their up sale with me. Which was fine for an extra 30 I got the “all the works” upgrade and it did make for a very nice stay. However the high floor, the executive level 15th floor and spa was just gilding the lily and was not really needed. So stay on low floor, pre-pay Internet, and breakfast with your pre booking. Food court in the mall was perfect for lunch, and the street in front of the Sheraton was just as tomcal had said, perfect for food, and a nice walk over a few short blocks. Lots of choices, the ice cream stand is very good, and the sushi place excellent. Taxi to Mezzaninu Was nervous about the first trip, I got a pro taxi, when I showed him the name and street, he said, “of course” must have been tomcals driver… 1st direct drive trip 16R. Other cabs did the same route and some took “the other way” the most expensive was 19.50R Mezzaninu, it is everything you want it to be, clean neat, well laid out, and the shower room-viewing booth is the best show in town. Friday, Saturday was packed, and Sunday was Sunday… Grotos a very nice mix, with lack of steroid bodies, but not to say a lack of hunks w/natural muscles. There was a Go Go boy by the name of Luis, who was amazing, one of the best bar top dancers I have seen in years. His show was an hour-long set. Only wish they had better stage lighting. The dressing room was great! No Grotos are allowed in the area, which I really like, they have their room, and we have our room. The Roof top deck, I did not know there was a roof top bar on the top of the building. Found it on the last night when one of the Grotos took me up for a drink. Plataforma a bust, dirty, smelled, never again... I understand it was THE place to go a few years ago. But its time has passed skip it. Remember to wash your hands after… Bar Mixx, I am glad I goggled the spot and saw street view. Easy to get to, I think it was 13R from Mezzaninu. An old school rough trade bar, but a lot of fun, and yes the Grotos did go from Mezzaninu for a “night cap”. The taxi almost missed it, but the hot pink out side does give it away in a good way. Over all, had a great weekend, it was cold for June, and needed a light jacket for the trip. It never got over 62, it did go down to 40 at night. T
