Do I need to bring cash?

All you need to bring is yourself and your preferred credit or debit card of choice! Participants will begin the Taste of Times Square journey by heading to Duffy Square to receive a wristband. This wristband will link to the card of your choosing through one of two ways – either at one of our activation kiosks on site or through tapping and registering directly on your smartphone. The wristband will secure to your wrist and you will be able to use it to purchase “tastes” at the participating restaurants on the plazas.

All transactions on site will take place through the wristbands. If you do not have a credit or debit card, we will have a limited ability to accommodate cash-to-wristband registrations. Please note this registration will take place via specific windows at the TKTS Booth and may have longer wait times than our other registration options.
