also located here is the cobal botafogo, one of the principal fresh markets in the city, where one can purchase agricultural products, wine, fruits and flowers. surrounding cobal, perhaps as a result of the ready availability of supplies from the market, is a plethora of shops, restaurants and bars. nowadays this area has a rather bohemian feel to it, and has become a hub for the local nightlife. 

film enthusiasts are also in luck, as many of the city's cult and art-house cinemas are located here. for those interested in learning more about botafogo, we have more detailed information in our neighborhoods section.
