One of the booths at the Liberdade Fair is famous for its delicious yakisoba. Getting to it may require a zen mindset, though. First, get a ticket – that would be another line – then get in this line and take it easy, like a resilient São Paulo resident who knows there's bound to be a crowd everywhere anyway, so why stress? Friends chat and laugh and couples smooch while they wait for their turn.
