If you want Portugal, you go to the Ironbound. Newark’s Portuguese quarter lives and breathes futebol — grilled sardines, a glass of vinho verde, and a room that holds its breath every time the Seleção das Quinas step out.

On a Portugal matchday the Ironbound’s restaurants and bars basically run as one big supporter section. NYC has its pockets, but this is the main event — get there early or call ahead for the marquee games.
