Carnaval Hour

Level 8’s Miami-meets-Copacabana rooftop bar, Golden Hour, is going all out this month, celebrating the spirit of Brazil through music, dance, cuisine and performances that bring the country’s Carnival celebration to Los Angeles. The poolside carousel bar will be decked out with lights, golden pineapples and chandeliers, and executive chef Richard Archuleta will be serving up a bold menu of flame-grilled steak, pork belly and mushroom skewers, churrasco cheesesteaks and griddled mortadella and picanha. Finish with something sweet: a churro from the interactive station. If you’re coming with a group, you can live large and book a cabana, complete with a pitcher of cocktails, for a 90-minute slot. Stop by for an opening-night party on March 1, where capoeira martial artists, samba and fire dancers, a live band and Brazilian DJs will all make an appearance.
