TL brazilian grand opening 253

A new store, The Brazilian Market Meat Boutique, held its grand opening on Friday with a ribbon cutting. The owners are Ricardo and Wanessa Dagher of Long Branch. They said that many different cultures come into the store to try different things. “This part of town needed something like this,” Ricardo said. Suspended behind them are hollow chocolate Easter eggs, a Brazilian tradition, filled with candy, and if you purchase one, your name goes into a drawing to win a Easter basket.
