    Does anyone know if there is an FC Porto club in Newark. I can't seem to find an address anywhere. I ask becuase a) I'd like to watch Porto matches there and b) supposedly they sell Francesinhas and other Porto specialities.

    I was there too but not sitting with the Dragoes. me, my Borther and My friend sang all kinds Porto songs and chants (so what if I'm a Braga fan) in the middle of a bunch of quiet Porto fans. Halph the time we were askin them if they were LFC fans in disguise to which we sang LFC, LFC, LFC LFC LFC FILHOS DA PO... you get the picture. I got to pat and word with Vitor Baia at half time.

    It's good to know that the Porto club still exists. I'm a bit confused, though - is it on Fleming across from the Fernandes Steak House, or is it on Monroe.

    Also, it's a bit off topic - but do you guys know of any other restaurants in Newark (or the greater NJ area) that serve Porto-style food?
