Street Tacos

Street tacos are always the best tacos. Always. This delicious al pastor* taco marks the beginning of street festival season. It was somewhere near Old St. Marks Church in the East Village. It didn't look too official, but they did have tacos, which is the important thing.

* Al Pastor isn't just pork. It is the best pork. Marinated in something reddish-orange and piled high onto a skewer gyro-style with an onion and a pineapple at the top. Little chunks are sliced off to order and if the guy has any balls, he'll usually try to flip a little slice of the pineapple up into the air and catch it with your taco as a final flourish. Think Mexican Benihana. Benny Juana.
