Red Hook'd: Taco Time?

Judging from all the emails, people are chomping at the proverbial bit for a Red Hook Taco Reunion at the Red Hook Soccer Fields.

Alas, you'll have to wait longer. Per Cesar Fuentes...

The good: Several vendors will be operating satellite stands at the Brooklyn Flea (market) in addition to Red Hook. Starting this Sunday (May 25th), the Vaquero, Hernandez and Soler stands will be selling elotes preparados, huaraches, pupusas, and etceteras. So get your fix here until Red Hook is up and running.

The bad: Speaking of which, Red Hook is NOT up and running. Per Cesar, “We cannot start until the city approves our permits [and these are] being processed as we speak. Unfortunately, that can still take a couple more weeks before we are given a go. Realistically speaking, we can probably expect to open Mid-June.”

The Ugly: Everyone is keen for a Taco Reunion; less so (I suspect) for a New Kids On The Block Reunion. They are no longer kids, so what are they still doing “on the block”?
