Fish Fry Fridays grand opening in Hempstead Village drew local leaders including Nassau County Legislator Scott M. Davis on January 24, 2026. The event at 296 Greenwich St marked a big win for Hempstead's dining scene with authentic Jamaican cuisine.
Davis, representing Rockville Centre, joined the New Greater Hempstead Chamber of Commerce and town officials to celebrate. He handed owners a Nassau County Legislature Citation, calling small businesses "the backbone of our local economy." Davis added, "I welcome this new enterprise to the Hempstead Village business community."
The spot at 296 Greenwich St, Hempstead, NY 11550, opened five years after family members got the nudge: "You should open a restaurant." It now offers affordable eats, friendly service, and catering for events.
