Caridad

One more of the few good Hempstead restaurants is Caridad. It's very close to the courthouse, and is popular amongst the staff for its hearty lunch specials. I, of course, have to go for the more expensive full meals which are also huge, but at $17:50 with a drink are a bit pricey for everyday. Its been a while since I've been there and forgot what my favorite dish was. The bistec empanizado, and got the carne de res frita instead. Which is also very good. They have a bunch of different rice and beans. All of them are good. The salad is fresh but they don't do a great job drying the leaves so it's a bit watery. The orange juice is great and fresh squeezed, but at four dollars a glass very expensive. The meals are big enough for me to have for lunch and dinner. Well worth the price.

This was the first place that asked me why I was taking pictures. I told them about the blog, but didn't seem to know what that meant. They asked me if this was my job and if I had business cards. I may make some up. They had me write the url down. I'll have to check and see if they viewed this write up.
