From The New York Shitty Inbox: More About Tres Toros Taqueria*

A lady named Monika writes:

Hi Miss Heather! On my way home yesterday (7/22), I noticed the new taco establishment on Driggs was having its “soft opening.”  I didn’t jot down the address but it’s between Eckford and McGuinness in the site of the bodega that was there.   I’ll be going back to try the rice and beans and corn on the cob (veg options).  It looks promising — large place, new wood floor, clean decor — and good AC!   The friendly guy behind the counter told me he is from Carroll Gardens and is friends with the previous bodega owner. I thought you’d like to know about this one!

Although I learned about this most auspicious development from Jay earlier this month, I suspect I speak for the vegetarians in our fair burgh when I write that I am very pleased they have fare on their menu for us. I for one am very eager to hear Monika’s review!

Rounding today’s (truncated*) bloggage I leave you with this curiousity as found in McCarren Park.

*Humor me,  folks. Not only does yours truly need a break but I have been inspired to write an essay about my eventful week. As of the writing of this post it is about half-completed and looking pretty good!

Street Surfing: East New York Brooklyn

Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:

It was close to a hundred today so the hydrants were open. These kids had laid a plank in front of the spout and where “street surfing”. That and trying to charge passing cars 75 cent for a wash. As a business man I suggested they aim for the paper money and charge a dollar.

Ty-Shawn, Jaquan, Nahjee, and Dallas (I wrote it down) jumped at the chance for a picture. Now I have to bring back four copies of this picture and a Barbados flag (Dallas), a copy of the picture with sparkles (Nahjee), fruit soda (Jaquan) and a toy gun (Ty-Shawn). Got it.
