Back for the first time since 2019, Taste of Times Square, one of NYC’s longest running food festivals, will return to the city this September with neighborhood restaurants serving up flavors from around the world.
The annual festival prides itself on bringing together food and music in one central space to give New Yorkers and visitors alike a taste of global cuisines and diverse cultures you’ll find throughout NYC.
The festival will take place on Duffy Square and the Broadway Plazas between 45th and 48th Streets–returning to this location for the first time since 2011.
Along with delicious eats and drinks there will be entertainment to enjoy throughout the day! A full list of entertainment will be announced at a later date.
Expect to be blown away by an array of flavors, sounds, and cultural activities at this family-friendly experience. This year over 25 participating restaurants from the district will be representing cuisines from all over the world, offering everything from Mexican to Caribbean to Indian and beyond!
Some participating restaurants include:
- Barbetta
- Brooklyn Chop House Times Square
- Dim Sum Palace
- Ellen’s Stardust Diner
- Jasmine’s Caribbean Cuisine
- Lille’s Victorian Establishment
- Palermo Argentinian Steak House
- Pink Taco
- Spice Symphony
- Tony’s Di Napoli Restaurant
- and more!
Anyone interested in attending the festival can technically do so for free, but you’ll need a wristband to do any actual tasting. The wristband will allow you to purchase “tastes” at the participating restaurants onsite. All “tastes” will be under $10 with most between $3 and $6.
The festival will kick off a month-long promotion of all of Times Square’s restaurants celebrating the “happiest hour” with deals and promotions after 8pm when Broadway is in full swing. More details on this will be announced soon.
