The food was OUTSTANDING! I got the beef ribs with sweet potato's and stewed okra. The ribs were 1 large bone with a lot of meet on it and in the plate. It was super tender, a little sweet, a little fatty, and delicious. The sweet potato was sliced baked with cinnamon. It had perfect texture and sweetness. The okra was good too. It cost around $6 even though the menu said $12.</p> <p>I highly recommend this place and can't wait to visit again.</p> <p>143 N Franklin St. Hempstead, NY 11550</p> <p><a href="http://www.villageofhempstead.org/photos/121.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.villageofhempstead.org/photos/121.jpg</a> </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/difaras-shuttered-by-doh#post-22816 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:26:08 -0500 StreetMeasOnsumer3008 22816@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I have yet to eat their pricey slice.

Typically there are around 6 lunch trucks parked in front of Harborside Plaza 10 and all are pretty good. You can forget Taqueria, too far and unless you have hours to burn, forget going to Hoboken, you can find just food just as good in Jersey City without the light rail hassle. Telly's sandwiches on Green Street is your best bargain for a good deli sandwich, Milano's is good but pricey and slow. Probably just easier to go to wiredjc.com and check out the dining section. cheers </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/jersey-city#post-22634 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:36:54 -0500 Dmag1 22634@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>There is a very respectable Halal chicken and rice card on Montgomery right in front of the exchange place Path station. Milanos - a good italian deli with big sandwiches. There's a big generic deli that opened up about a year ago across from the path station as well that has a great mongolian bbq station. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/jersey-city#post-22633 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:22:49 -0500 CheeeeEEEEse 22633@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Sarah is right, Taqueria is great. I lived across the street from it for 2 years, but it is a little far from Exchange.</p> <p>There are trucks that park somewhere over there too, but I'm not sure where since I was never around during lunch time. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/jersey-city#post-22631 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:00:23 -0500 Username303 22631@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>That sucks, Lou. We have an office near the newport mall which is one lightrail stop away. There arent many non-chain options. If you're allowed a solid hour, I would hop the LR to Hoboken. There's plenty of decent spots near the station, including pizza.</p> <p>Oh, there is a Naan King near echange place. Not a big fan, but it's probably your best chinese option. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/jersey-city#post-22628 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:19:56 -0500 lholly 22628@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>The Taco Truck parks near there frequently. I'm a sucker for their carnitas and al pastor tacos.</p> <p>I've also heard good things about the Lotsa Pasta truck that parks there but I've never tried it. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/jersey-city#post-22627 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:08:51 -0500 El Dubya El 22627@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Azucar I think is near exchange place.
