This summer, Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders are being treated to an array of exclusive events, marking the return of the “Summer, Reserved” program. From intimate dinners with celebrities to unique restaurant collaborations, this year’s offering promises a wealth of unforgettable experiences for those lucky enough to secure a spot.

For those who have always wanted to meet New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, there is no better opportunity than July 23. In partnership with two of New York’s top dining establishments, San Sabino and Lucali, Chase Sapphire Reserve is offering a dinner that promises both high-level basketball conversation and Italian-accented seafood. San Sabino, known for its delicious seafood dishes and sophisticated ambiance, will host the event in collaboration with Brooklyn’s celebrated pizzeria, Lucali. It’s an experience that, by reservation only, combines celebrity access and the best of New York’s dining scene. But this is just one of many exclusive offerings during the Summer, Reserved program.

Chase Sapphire Reserve is dedicated to creating exclusive experiences that go beyond simple reservations. This summer, cardholders will have access to select restaurant takeovers and chef-led events that promise one-of-a-kind dining experiences. Between July 23 and 26, diners in New York will have the rare opportunity to experience collaborations between some of the city’s most sought-after restaurants. The San Sabino-Lucali dinner is just the beginning. Following that, diners can book a table at Don Angie, a modern Italian eatery, or enjoy a meal at Chez Fifi, an upscale French bistro that has earned a reputation as one of the toughest reservations in New York. Other participating locations in the city include Kabawa, a Caribbean gem in the heart of the Lower East Side, and some of David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants.

For those looking to head out of the city, the Hamptons will also play host to exclusive events. A popup collaboration with Delilah, the hot-spot from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami, will offer an unforgettable summer dining experience. As the Hamptons becomes the center of East Coast luxury and leisure in the summer, cardholders will find that securing a reservation at Delilah is no longer an elusive dream, thanks to their Chase Sapphire Reserve access.

In Los Angeles, cardholders can experience Majordomo, a David Chang restaurant known for its Korean-American cuisine, collaborating with Loreto, a Mexican seafood spot. There’s also the chance to dine at Camélia, a French-Japanese bistro, and Amiga Amore, which fuses Mexican and Italian cuisine for a truly unique experience. These special pop-up events represent a curated effort to bring together the best dining experiences in some of the country’s hottest culinary hubs.

It’s not all about food; Chase Sapphire Reserve has a line-up of unique experiences that extend to the entertainment world. On August 1, fans of Hamilton and theater lovers alike will have the opportunity to meet Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the revolutionary musical, on the stage of New York’s iconic Public Theater. What’s even more special? The dinner will take place on the stage itself, where Miranda’s journey as Alexander Hamilton began, long before the show hit Broadway. This event will be paired with a meal crafted by Colonia Verde, a well-regarded restaurant in Brooklyn, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to an already extraordinary evening. For theater enthusiasts, this event is the epitome of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A key factor in creating these experiences is the partnership between Chase Sapphire Reserve and The Infatuation, a well-known restaurant review site that curates the best dining experiences in New York and beyond. Chris Stang, the co-founder of The Infatuation and head of lifestyle at Chase, explains, “We always try to meet our cardmembers where they are – whether it’s the city they live in, a place they frequently travel to, or simply somewhere they want to be.” The collaboration between Chase and The Infatuation aims to offer events that are not only exclusive but also tailored to cardholders’ tastes and preferences.

For those wondering whether this is just a summer phenomenon, the answer is no. The Summer, Reserved program is just one part of a broader, ongoing effort to deliver high-quality, exclusive events throughout the year. Cardholders can look forward to more experiences across various cities as the program evolves.

Aside from the incredible events on offer, Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders will also enjoy a new annual $300 dining credit. This benefit, alongside prime reservations through Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables—a growing list of hundreds of restaurants curated by The Infatuation and OpenTable—adds even more value to the card. Whether it’s a last-minute reservation or access to an exclusive event, the benefits offered to Chase Sapphire Reserve members make it one of the most coveted credit cards for foodies and travelers alike.

For those with access to the Summer, Reserved program, the impact is clear: this is not just about having a reservation at a great restaurant; it’s about having access to some of the best dining experiences and entertainment in the country, with celebrities and renowned chefs. For travelers, the benefits extend beyond just exclusive events. The card ensures that members can enjoy these experiences in cities they visit frequently or ones they’ve always dreamed of going to. It’s an opportunity to make a special occasion even more extraordinary.

The Summer, Reserved program is shaping up to be an unforgettable offering for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders. With more announcements expected, it’s clear that this program will continue to offer cardholders access to experiences that are unmatched, whether they are passionate about dining or looking for once-in-a-lifetime celebrity encounters.
