Portuguese Consulate in Greenwich
A Portuguese consulate in Greenwich does not exist: another office covers the city. It is served by the Portuguese Consulate General in New York, 30 miles away by road (about 48 min).
Which Portuguese consulate serves Greenwich
Connecticut is on the jurisdiction list of the Portuguese Consulate General in New York (source), so that is where citizen cards, passports and registry acts from Greenwich go.
A routing engine puts the drive at 30 miles and 48 min, at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line it is 26 miles.
Read the office’s hours as they are: Greenwich is on the same time.
To avoid the trip to the office there are outreach visits: the closest to Greenwich is in Tarrytown (the last one was on July 1), 13 miles away in a straight line (source).

The U.S. papers from Greenwich the consulate asks for
For the birth transcription you need the U.S. certificate, which in Connecticut is issued by the vital records office of the town where the child was born, or the state Department of Public Health (CDC).
To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in Connecticut it is issued by the Connecticut Secretary of the State (Hague Conference list).
