Get out your “Dos Mundos” (preferably 2nd edition) textbook and turn to the “Eating Out” chapter, because it’s time to find the crown jewels of Hempstead’s Spanish cuisine.
If you’re the type who loves to eat out, and afraid but willing to step out of your Chinese/Italian comfort zone, don’t waste your time with online research.
Hempstead restaurants just don’t get any love, let alone a sentence of publicity. (Get any love? Try making this a little more newslike.)
Long Island Harvest hosted its first annual “Nassau Co. Restaurant Week” last August, where over 65 establishments participated throughout the county. Not one restaurant was based in Hempstead.http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/CountyExecutive/NewsRelease/2006/08172006.html
Is the food really that lame in Hempstead? (Newslike please) Or are the local restaurant reviewers limiting themselves to monolingual hideaways? Maybe they’re turned off by the regulating lenience of the “no shirt, no shoes, no service” policy. (I don't know what that sentence means.)
My first lead came from Greg Turner, a Hofstra Latin American Studies major, who raves about a breakfast for the buck grilled up in a corner bodega located on the turnpike. I lived with Turner in Mexico, and I assure you he has a sixth sense for locating the best meals that nobody knows about. Stay tuned.
(So you plan to have this guy write the story? What are you heading for here? Good idea, I do wanna read the finished story, but will you have a series of reviews, or will you tell us why reviewers avoid Hempstead?)
