What’s with that new Angelina Jolie mural near the J, M, Z Marcy Avenue station? What the hell is “taco fever”?—Alicia Morgan, Williamsburg
We’re pretty sure Angelina Jolie is unaware she’s a fan of Señor Taco (277 Broadway between Havemeyer St and Marcy Ave, 718-599-9999), but that didn’t stop owner Nicolas Hernandez from slapping the mug of his favorite actor on a wall three stories above his restaurant. “She’s the hottest woman on the face of the earth,” says Hernandez, a Banksy fan who spent four hours free-handing the 20' x 30' painting. Building owner Humberto Mariano gave the project a green light after Hernandez explained his end goal (other than selling tacos): “I wanted to foster the idea that [Williamsburg] is a deep, artistic community.” Admirable, sure, but what if Jolie sees her dominatrix visage the next time she’s coolhunting in Billyburg? “I hope she sues me!” crows Hernandez. “If she did, I’d go right up to her and give her a big kiss.”
