MANHATTAN — Hungry New Yorkers can head to Times Square and Madison Square Park on their lunch breaks Tuesday for some free eats.

As part of a promotional event for the new BBC America show “No Kitchen Required” — a cooking reality series set in remote areas — a fleet of food trucks is serving up the gratis grub until 2 p.m. at both locations.

Free lunch from the Kimchi Taco Truck, Wafels & Dinges, Schnitzel & Things and Redhook Lobster 2 will be available in Times Square, while Frites 'N' Meats, Mexicue, Rickshaw and Taim Mobile will serve up eats in Madison Square Park.

Diners must "like" the Facebook page for “No Kitchen Required” or tweet #NoKitchenRequired to get their hands on the free eats. 

The trucks will be located at Broadway and 42nd Street, and Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street.
