Portuguese chorizo
I want to bring some oversea as a souvenir for my relatives. Where can I buy some in the city that's in shrink-wrap? Thanks.

If you are willing to make a 20-min. commute into Newark, NJ, I can hook you up with an awesome place that is within walking distance, or a short cab ride, of the Port Authority train/bus station.

This large, family-run business makes their own smoked Portuguese choriço, Spanish chorizo, salpico, linguica, morcelas, morcilla, etc. The retail butcher shop is open Wed–Sat. They can vacuum-shrink wrap whatever you want. This place is a great culinary resource.

where are you going? some countries don't allow meat products to be brought in, so make sure you check the customs website!

I second the recommendation to go to Newark. It's a short train ride to some Amazing(yes with a capital A) Portuguese food.

Is it true that the national dish of Portugal is Clams with Chorizo?? It sounded strange at first and now my salivary glands are screaming for it.

@salpico do they ship themselves? I miss real linguica and chorizo.

Being Portuguese, the only place that I go is to Newark. Yes TRC one of the national dishes of Portugal is Pork and Clams. But I wouldn't use Chorizo. I would use a pork shoulder cut up. If there is a hankering out there I will post my recipe for it. If not use Emeril's Food Network one, it is quite good.

For those who have been to Hawaii and had Portuguese sausage, is there anything like that that can be gotten in the mainland? If so, what is it called exactly? Chorizo tastes nothing like it...
I'm dying to make a pot of Portuguese bean soup (macaroni, potatoes, kidney beans, Portuguese sausage, etc.)!

Here are two links which may shed some light on this question. The first discusses Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, and the second, the products made by Lopes Sausage Co. in Newark:
