Tortilla Spats
For those who've denounced New York's capability with the taco, here's an event that offers some hope. Contestants will gather at the Bell House to run their folded fodder by a panel of judges that includes Red Hook Vendor Committee Director Cesar Fuentes, Dave Vendley of Calexico and Todd Mitgang of newcomer Cascabel. The grand prize at this Food Experiment Cookoff: two plane tickets to anywhere in Mexico. Attendees ($20; click here to buy tickets) can kick back with a Dos Equis while trying the various hits and misses. The Bell House, 149 Seventh St. (between Second and Third aves.), Brooklyn; thefoodexperiments.com

Throughout February
Heads Up!
Fog up your glasses at the 18th annual City Bakery Hot Chocolate Festival. Expect a wild rotation of flavors--including Vietnamese Cinnamon and "Ode to the Polar Bear"--to share the stage with CB's famous original recipe; whether you go the adventurous or classic route, these cups ($2.50 each) will warm you from the inside. And for those who throw caution to the wind, what could make a better dipping companion than one of the Bakery's behemoth cookies? City Bakery, 3 W. 18th St. (between Fifth and Sixth aves.); 212-366-1414 or citybakery.com
