Sombrero Cart MIA

Dave

I haven't seen them around 50th St. since before President's Day. Anyone know if they're on extended vacation, whether voluntary or otherwise? Or if they pulled up stakes and headed elsewhere?

    I'm on the lookout, too. They're nice people. She has immediate family in Ecuador and took a long trip back home some years ago. That might explain part of it, but just a hunch.

  2. your loss 54th street's gain. try madison @ 54th.

    Say it ain't so, Joe! (Or bnrut.) I guess I'll take a walk today. I was hoping it might be temporary due to construction equipment near their spot on 50th, but the smoothie truck to one side and Daisy May to the other haven't budged.

    Did you ask the smoothie truck or daisy mae's?

    I might have the phone number for the folks from the sombrero cart, but I got it from them in 2005.

    Okay, I do not have the number. What I wrote down was the name of their brother's restaurant where they prepare their food:

    Carne De Calle - Giovannis Pizza 47 12 48ave Sunnyside

    All's well -- I talked to them on their new corner, which they told me was their original corner. They moved back to avoid a lot of the aggravation from being where they were. Same food, longer walk.

    Dave, what was their original corner?

  8. Dave

    54th/Madison, NE corner, as bnrut mentioned. Can't miss 'em.

    It's back on 50th Street south side, near Sixth Ave. outside 1251 Ave. of Americas.
    Said they "were on vacation."

    Oh for Pete's sake. I walked by the 54th St location Monday, and again on Tuesday, trying to locate them. I hope they aren't going to make a quarterly move from now on...

  11. dbug42

    Cool, I hope they are there tomorrow. 54th and Madison was too far for me.

  12. dbug42

    I went there today (yum) and they said they will be staying on 50th.

    Went by today. Didn't see the sign till after I'd ordered, but they now offer chili. Anyone want to give it a shot and report back?
