SUNNYSIDE — More than two dozen neighborhood restaurants will offer up their eats and beverages under the rumble of the 7 train next month, as the annual Taste of Sunnyside returns.

Tickets went on sale Wednesday for the May 19 food fest, which will take place under the elevated tracks at the 46th Street subway station — the same location as last year's, which organizers said saw an "overwhelmingly positive response."

"Last year's event exceeded our wildest expectations," Rachel Thieme, director of the Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District, said in a statement. "We're excited to be back under the 7 train again this year to sample all this delicious food."

Diners will be able to try treats from 26 different restaurants, served under a block-long tent set up beneath the 46th Street Station.

Participating eateries include Salt and Fat and Venturo, which both earned Michelin "Bib Gourmand" ratings this year, as well as Punda Tibetan Restaurant, which opened in March by the same chef and owner as the popular GangJong Kitchen in Jackson Heights.

Lowery Wines and Liquors, Queens Brewery and SingleCut Brewery will provide libations to wash all the food down, while dancers from Thalia Spanish Theatre will perform for attendees.

Tickets to the event cost $35, or $60 for a VIP pass that gets you in an hour early. More information can be found here.
