one need go no further than avenida quintino bocaiúva, which runs parallel to the beach, to find a collection of restaurants, bars and nightclubs vast enough to sate nearly any appetite for diversion - often with lower prices than can be found in comparable districts in ipanema or copacabana. popular restobars include bemdito, botequim informal and o velho armazém. la vie is one of the more trendy electronic music clubs on the strip, though if one wishes to travel off the beaten path goa and waxy, with the latter being more geared toward brazilian music such as pagode and funk, are both located on nearby avenida rui barbosa.
