TIMES SQUARE — Dozens of Times Square eateries will serve up samples of their cuisines at a long-running outdoor festival Monday evening.

The 23rd annual “Taste of Times Square” will take place on West 46th Street, between Broadway and 10th Avenue, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on June 6.

“Times Square has always been a space for people to exchange cultural experiences, and Taste of Times Square does just that by sharing culinary and musical discoveries,” Times Square Alliance president Tim Tompkins said in a statement.

Festival-goers can purchase $1 food tickets online or at the event, which is free and open to the public.

Bites from vendors including Frankie and Johnnie’s Steakhouse, Pig N’ Whistle, Dos Caminos, Hard Rock Cafe, Carmine’s, Applebee’s and B.B. King Blues Club & Grill will range in price from $1 to $6.

A full list of vendors is available on the event’s website.

The event will feature “street musicians” from the Hard Rock Cafe, a “Swing Tent” where The George Gee Swing Orchestra will perform, and a beer garden between Eighth and Ninth avenues serving brews from Heartland Brewery.

Attendees can also post photos of Instagram-worthy “tastes” with the hashtag #TasteTSq for the opportunity to snag a gift card to a Times Square restaurant.
