Brazilians in Astoria

At this non-profit organization, Brazilians are given economic and legal help. It also provides opportunities for the preservation of the Brazilian culture and has programs that teach the English language to immigrants. We talked about these programs in more detail with the organization's Executive Director, Stephanie Mulcock.                                                                                                                                         

This restaurant serves delicious Brazilian food, such as chicken heart and pao de queijo (cheese bread). At this restaurant, we talked to a waitress named Anna about her immigration from Brazil to New York City.

This salon is owned by a Brazilian immigrant named Mario, who spent some time telling us his story about moving to America. This salon offers a wide variety of hair treatments, as well as the famous Brazilian Bikini Wax.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

This restaurant serves authentic Brazilian food. At night it turns into a makeshift club with live Brazilian music. It has a homey atmosphere with large tables that are connected in order to foster a welcoming environment, even amongst strangers. We interviewed Brazilian waiter Luiz here.                                                           

Chita, who lives with her husband and sons in Astoria, moved to the United States over twenty-five years ago. She fell in love with New York City at the age of nineteen when she visited it as a tourist.

This is a popular Brazilian immigration law firm in Astoria. The company offers services in a multitude of languages, including Portuguese, Greek, and Spanish.

This supermarket sells traditional Brazilian food and drinks.

This grocery store, which sold both American and Brazilian products, used to be owned by a Brazilian family. However, it has now been taken over by a Greek owner.
