I live in the heart of the largest Portuguese community outside of Portugal, in New Bedford MA. We have the largest Portuguese festival in the world during August (not for last 2 years cuz covid) called The feast of the Blessed Sacrament.
As far as Lisbon Portuguese people go, they are fucking stuck up faggots. My buddy and his family are from the mainland and his dad was a pretty chill dude, but overall he kind of turned out to be a dick himself when he lost his fishing license after getting caught selling female lobsters with eggs on them.
Madeira Portuguese are even more common around here, as there are enclaves all around with people representing Azores, St Michael, Madeira, Funchal etc. The Portuguese from Madeira are very cool people, hard working, personable, and will always feed you. My ex girl is Madiera Portuguese and her grandmother has like a small apartment in the basement, and she is always down there cooking and doing laundry. She is like 78 years old and is strong as an ox, cooks every day, makes fish every saturday and a big Portuguese meal on Sunday, she has her daughter go pick up fresh pops etc.
Like 70% of New Bedford is Portuguese or half portuguese. I myself am not, but basically kind of am because Cape Verdeans are basically Portuguese and Africans mixed, as in the 15-19th century they dabbled in the African slave trade and Portuguese conquistadors were slamming so much African poon they had to designate an island and put all of the mixed babys there.
