Portuguese NYC is centered in Newark, New Jersey and Astoria, Queens.
Portuguese food is delicious with amazing seafood including bacalhau (salted cod). Fado music is popular around the world.
We love Portuguese people and culture, but Portugal was a colonizer. Even worse, Portugal started and ran much of the Atlantic slave trade. All the Portuguese colonizers cared about was gold and collecting souls like Facebook likes. Never forget that most of those beautiful buildings and churches in Lisbon and across the old Portuguese Empire were paid for with lots of Indigenous and African blood. Never forget.

Portuguese Culture
Portugal is a seafaring nation. Fado is the music of “saudade”, the terrible longing that sailors and their loved ones feel when they are far away from each other. Portuguese speakers say the full meaning of the word cannot be translated, but if you are far from home, you know what it means. Fado is medicine for saudade.
