I think this is a huge problem about food for transplants. Do not expect the ethnic food you are used to. Mass does other ethnic foods really well. While there are none in Worcester check around for Portuguese restaurants (most will specialize in Azorean cuisine), there are plenty of different African restaurants here, Jamaican in Mass is so good, Puerto Rican and Dominican food is crazy good here in Worcester. There are others but those are my go tos.

I have an autistic son at Worcester Tech. It has changed thankfully. The school has been very supportive especially during those awful covid times.

He did not go to elementary or middle school here. He had an out of district placement. So I can not say if it has gotten better on that level.

I like Bahnan's for Middle Eastern groceries. Ed Hyder for gourmet with a middle Eastern leaning. Gala for Spanish groceries (incredible selection of dried chilies among other things) and Tom's and Golemos for Polish groceries. You can find both Lithuanian and items from Ukraine at the last two.

  • I forgot that Big Boi is good for Brazilian items. **Forgot Kalamos over on June Street for Greek food and pastries. The owners are super nice

The easiest way to get there is fly. There are multiple flights from Worcester airport to NYC everyday. It's extremely convenient, a very fast flight and actually fairly cheap
