Taco Tuesday in America

It’s a great day to be alive in Boston, and it has little to do with the Red Sox’s 'rwoalin rwally,' as Mayor Menino would so eloquently put it.

No, today is Taco Tuesday, when from 2 to 5 p.m. all of Boston – and everyone in America not from Colorado – gets a free taco. They’re only offering hard-shells, which kinda sucks, but a free taco is a free taco, and word is Jacoby 'Tacoby' Ellsbury will sling tortillas at the Cambridgeside Gallery T-Bell.

First he steals the base that fed America, and now he’s in the kitchen making sure everyone in the Boston area’s four Bells – Cambridgeside, East Somerville, Hampshire St Somerville and Comm. Ave. – walks away with a stomach ache. I’m stuck in the newsroom all day, so I won’t be able to take advantage of the greatest marketing ploy in faux Mexican food history. God damn I want a grande soft taco right now.

Lost in all the Taco Madness... oh shit, Morrissey’s in town tonight.
