July 5, 2018 By Nathaly Pesantez

The site of a recently-shuttered taco joint in Sunnyside will be replaced with a completely new Mexican eatery at the end of this month.

Taco Today, the name of the upcoming spot, is opening at 42-22 Greenpoint Avenue, and will offer typical Mexican fast food fare including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more—all under $10.

The new locale replaces Sunnyside Taco, which quietly closed a few months ago.

Taco Today will open from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and will open at 12 p.m. on Sundays.

I used to get soft tacos at this place all the time- they were delicious!

This location is very close to Mr. Burrito, Sante Fe Taqueria, De Mole and The Haab. I hope there has been consideration on the competition and how to add value in a crowded market.

Welcome to the Greenpoint Avenue community. Word to the wise: The key to a successful food establishment on Greenpoint Avenue is advertising, and plenty of it, on the pages of the Sunnyside Post, the Long Island City Post, the Greenpoint Post and the NY Post.

I wish her much success. A successful immigrant is a Trumpeter’s worst nightmare.

A Mexican taco joint operated and owned by a Chinese woman who immigrated to the USA 15 years ago. A example of hard work, determination and woman owned business at that. Only in New York folks, only in New York can we see the great experiment in action that is the United States of America. If affordable, good quality and clean they will do nicely on Greenpoint Ave.

The only ones who benefit by immigration are immigrants. I can do without another cheap taco joint.

Hopefully, you are aware of the fact that without a status, she wouldn’t have been able to obtain the contract successfully! You’re exposing your ignorance by making such a comment 🙁

Lawmakers secure federal funding to combat flooding in Queens after impact of Hurricane Ida and other storms

U.S. Congresswomen Grace Meng and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, along with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, announced on Jan. 7 that President Joe Biden has signed their legislation into law to address severe flooding in Queens.

The measure aims to mitigate future disasters like those caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021, which inundated the borough with record-shattering rainfall.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
