There haven’t been too many posts since I was away in Tulum, Mexico (about 2 hours south of Cancun). For your convenience, JetBlue now flies direct to Cancun-CUN airport. We stayed in a wonderful oceanfront cabana on the Carribean Sea facing due east, which provided the backdrop for some magnificent sunrises. Here I am : Betty got game!

Since I’ve been back I’ve seen references to Tulum pop-up in New York magazine and The L Word on Showtime. Has Tulum reached its tipping point?

One thing that Sunnyside and Mexico have in common is the ubiquitous TACO TRUCK. The Sunnyside Taco Truck parks itself at Queens Blvd. and 41st Street around 9pm every night until late-night and serves authentic tortilla tacos ($2) with pork, chicken, or chorizo and my favorite: the steak torta ($5). We like to practice our Mexican Spanish with Pedro, Jose and the guys. They even deliver! Free Delivery 347.276.4522.

[Ed's note 2/16/08: I just found an article from the Village Voice about our particular Taco Truck and the bustling block it occupies each night between 40th & 41st Queen Blvd.
