I flew JFK-Sao Paulo for four years and loved the city....but be smart. Don't wear
any jewelry out of your hotel,
no watches and I strongly recommend
NOT carrying a wallet. Put a credit card and some cash in your socks or a safe inside pocket.
Taxis can be "OK" but use one that the hotel gets for you. If you walk the streets at night, go in a group.
I don't know about the girls. There are a lot of expats in Sao Paulo and we used to hang out at the Lone Star Cafe, run by a local who married a woman from NY and owned a restaurant in the city (NY) for years. A lot of Americans and Europeans there.
Great city but keep your eyes open !
