Get ready to tantalize your taste buds! The Times Square Alliance is bringing back its highly anticipated Taste of Times Square food festival after a five-year absence. This culinary extravaganza will take place on Monday, September 9th, 2024, from 5 pm to 9 pm, offering a delicious journey through the diverse flavors of Times Square.
Over 30 restaurants will participate in this vibrant event, showcasing a wide spectrum of cuisines, including Mexican, Caribbean, Argentinian, Italian, Indian, American, and more. For the first time since 2011, the festival will be held in Duffy Square and the Broadway Plazas between 45th and 48th Streets, bringing the bustling side street dining scene right to the heart of Times Square.
This year’s festival serves as the kickoff for a month-long celebration of Times Square’s thriving dining scene. Participating restaurants will offer special ‘happiest hour’ promotions after 8 pm, coinciding with Broadway’s peak hours, providing a unique opportunity to experience the best of Times Square’s culinary offerings.
Attendees can register a wristband at the event with their credit or debit card, allowing them to purchase ‘tastes’ from participating restaurants. Each ‘taste’ will be priced under $10, with most ranging between $3 and $6.
“Now in its 27th year, we’re thrilled to bring back one of Times Square’s favorite annual traditions and put a spotlight on our individual restaurants and chefs who make up the diverse fabric of the Crossroads of the World,” said Tom Harris, President of the Times Square Alliance. “With over 200 restaurants and eateries representing over 30 global cuisines, Times Square’s dining scene is certainly an international experience, and over the past several years we’ve seen so many new restaurants open in the district. This is the best way we can celebrate them and welcome them to Times Square.”
Prepare to embark on a delicious adventure through the vibrant flavors of Times Square at the Taste of Times Square food festival. More details about the event will be announced soon.
