CJ Peruvian Bar & Restaurant

It was a long journey for Bladimir and Rosaura Pedroza to get to this point, they said in a conversation in late September in their Waterford home. She came from Peru to the United States in 1981, and he in 1985. After meeting at a party in New York in 1986, they would go to a coffee shop on Liberty Avenue in Queens and talk for hours. Three months after meeting, they were married.
“Everybody thought we were crazy,” Bladimir said. There were “a lot of bets” on how long they would last.
“Life wasn’t easy for a couple that weren’t professionals,” Rosaura said. “We had to start from the bottom.”
