I will celebrate any holiday involving margaritas and tacos. Although the weather was not looking promising, my friend Tracy and I still made it down to South Street Seaport for the MexFest Food Truck Festival on Saturday. The lines were epically long and especially for tacos so that was out of the question. We then saw the Gorilla Cheese truck, which my friend has seen around the city. The cinco special was so worth the 1/2 hr wait online...chipotle chicken, mozzarella and jalapenos on toasted french bread = YUM! After I inhaled the sandwich, I needed to find a margarita stat so we walked down to Beekman Beach Bar which is right on the river and has a breathtaking view of the Brooklyn bridge. (Definitely worth a visit in spring and summer) Its a huge outdoor bar with foosball, ping pong AND arm wrestling tables! Next time I'll bring my a-game and challenge some people to a duel.
xo, Nina
