Tuesday's taste starts at 5 p.m., and will feature dining specials at 30 restaurants up and down the 1-1/2 mile street. For this year's event, diners will be able to vote for the best food of the event, which will earn the winning restaurants cash prizes.

There was also be live music at several restaurants, including Stone Country at Vintage Grill, Chris Selby at Wonder Bar, Hannah Purvis at La Scala and Brandon Sunshine at Nuovo.
