Fnac
901 Av. PaulistaGreat bookshop with electronics and a cosy Cafe inside.
The gayest mall in town. Shops are not that nice but the Cinema is great with 8 spacious rooms where the boys and girls can get really at ease without being bothered.

Greatest bookstore in town, in my opinion. Four branches located at the same building, with a very crowded Cafe inside the biggest one.
