National intel: Mark down June 25 at 7 p.m. on your calendar. This is when Brazil plays Portugal and the arteries of coolness - Dundas, College, Queen, Ossington - turn into flag-waving disaster zones. Portuguese and Brazilian soccer fans can get very intense, and since their community occupies the same neighbourhood (and often the same bars), it will be a busy area to say the least. Celebrations often fill street patios, and sometimes spill onto the street itself.
As Dundas West BIA board chair Sylvia Draper Fernandez puts it, 'if either team gets a goal, let alone wins the game, the whole place will stop.'
The pitch: This normally nocturnal world-music venue will be throwing open its doors during the daytime for a variety of games. Organized in part by Billy Bryans (formerly of Parachute Club), the event will serve as a lively celebration for a number of Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, not least of which is Brazil.
The grub: During Brazil games, the venue will feature appropriate cuisine and signature caipirinha cocktails, accompanied between plays by choro, bossa nova, and other Brazilian music. You can also try Brazilian Star Bar and Grill (1242 Dundas St. W.), Novo Horizonte (1430 Dundas St. W.), O Campino (1434 Dundas St. W.).
