2007 Taco Crawl
Jackson Heights, Queens (Google map)
The meeting place is a friendly Irish bar on 73rd less than one block from the Roosevelt station ( MTA info). This particular strip of Roosevelt Ave is very busy and should be a lot of fun. Besides bars and taco joints, there are plenty of fruit juices and pastries. Sunset Park, the site of last year's taco crawl, seems quiet by comparison.
Bring a friend, a camera and good walking shoes. See you there!

Street Eating at 86th Street We have three options: two carts and a walk-up taco place. It might be good to split up so we don't overwhelm any one place.
- Unnamed cart in front of 85-11 Roosevelt Ave, next to Bravo Supermarket. This cart makes great quesadillas ($2 each) with an incredible tortilla. The cart does not have tacos.
- Delicias Isabel cart at 86-01 Roosevelt Ave, in front of Payless ShoeSource. Tacos ($2 each) and tortas.
- In addition, there is a walk-up taco place on the other side of the street if the carts are too busy.
