Rua das Tabajaras parallels the waterfront in Praia de Iracema.
If you like bossa nova or samba this is the place for you. Carioca da Gema is one of the hottest spots in the city for both.
It's located very close to the Lapa aqueduc; one of Rio's more "bohemian" districts. There are some very cool music venues here. The best night is Thursday.
