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.<br /><br />Bring a friend, a camera and good walking shoes. See you there!<br /><br />(1)<br />1:00 to 2:30<br />Ready Penny Inn, 3707 73rd (between Roosevelt Ave and 37th) Arrive, have a drink and put some songs on the jukebox. Exit the Roosevelt station and head one block north on 73rd. The bar will be on your right.<br /><br />(2)<br />2:35 to 3:10<br /><a title="http://chefmoz.org/United_States/NY/Queens/El_Poblano_Restaurant1017681959.html" href="http://chefmoz.org/United_States/NY/Queens/El_Poblano_Restaurant1017681959.html">El Poblano</a>, 75-13 Roosevelt AveVery good tacos, very loud jukebox.<br /><br />(3)<br />3:15 to 3:50<br /><a title="http://brooklyn.citysearch.com/profile/7411803/flushing_ny/cafe_espana_sports_bar.html" href="http://brooklyn.citysearch.com/profile/7411803/flushing_ny/cafe_espana_sports_bar.html">Cafe Espana</a>, 8103 Roosevelt Ave A decent, two-floor bar with TVs and billiards<br /><br />(4)<br />3:55 to 4:30<br />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.<br /><br />- 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.<br />- Delicias Isabel cart at 86-01 Roosevelt Ave, in front of Payless ShoeSource.
