That’s sad. Ever been to the grand old Hispanic Museum in far uptown Manhattan? I think they cover Lusitanian as well. And there must be some local historians in New Jersey for a population that size.

No, I’ve never been, I think NJ will have things like that when those populations have been here as long. As it is, “The Feast” on Ferry Street in Newark is not something to be missed (though I haven’t gone in years); fifteen years ago, they’d block off the street (a main artery), and you could walk down the street with a bottle of nice green wine in your hand without being hassled (that is some kind of wine I believe they make before the grapes are fully ripe; it tastes like a less-bubbly champagne, almost). As Irish people our food has no taste (no spices), so everything you buy there is delicious (with garlic, saffron, etc.).
