EEEEEATSCON New York 2026: Tickets, Chase Early Access, Dates & Restaurants

As I seem to want to re-explain every time I post about any of the EEEEEATSCONs (NY, LA, Miami), Chase puts this awesome festival on.

It is technically run by The Infatuation, but Chase bought them several years ago (in 2021).

So it’s Chase. 😉

And that means benefits for Chase cardholders; which is why I post about it.

I also go each year in New York because, yes, it’s awesome.

What Is EEEEEATSCON?

EEEEEATSCON New York is an annual food festival from The Infatuation featuring restaurants from New York and around the country, including some collaborations you wouldn’t normally be able to try anywhere else.

Think of the restaurants as the headliners.

You get a mix of NYC favorites, restaurants coming in from other cities, one-off collaborations, and other programming throughout the weekend.

And again, this isn’t one of those things I’m writing about solely because there’s a credit card angle.

I actually go every year. It’s a lot of fun. And very filling 😉

What Chase Cardholders Get at EEEEEATSCON New York

All Chase credit and debit cardholders can currently purchase General Admission tickets for $25.

But if you have an eligible premium Chase card, you can get in earlier.

Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and JPMorgan Reserve cardmembers can purchase an Early Access Ticket for 11:00 a.m. entry — one hour before General Admission begins at noon.

And at an event where the whole point is eating your way through a long list of popular restaurants, an hour before the full crowd arrives can be genuinely useful.

There should be additional benefits for Reserve cardmembers but that is still TBD. In the past there has been a Sapphire Lounge.

Here’s the announced restaurant lineup:

• 1915 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles
• 321 Coffee (NC)
• Adda
• Bark Barbecue
• Caffe Panna
• Ceres Pizza
• Chalupas Poblanas El Tlecuile
• Charles Pan-Fried Chicken

There are some really interesting ones in here. Ceres is nearly impossible to get into and I don’t even think they sell their pizza by the slice, so I’ll probably hit them up first. And I could go for one of those famous Golden Hof pancakes if that is what they are doing in their collab. And I’m a bit surprised that old-school DeFonte’s is so hot again? Will have to see what they are cooking….

Is EEEEEATSCON New York Worth It?

I’ve gone to EEEEEATSCON in New York year after year, so you can probably guess my answer.

Yes.

Obviously, the restaurant lineup changes each year, but that’s part of what makes it fun. You can try places you’ve been meaning to visit, restaurants from outside New York that you might not otherwise encounter, and collaborations that only exist for the festival.

The $25 ticket gets you into the event, but you’ll still be paying for the food you eat once you’re inside (I don’t want you to find that out when you get there).

And if you have access to the 11 a.m. Early Entry Ticket, I’d absolutely use it. Having an hour before General Admission starts is a real benefit here as the lines for the best spots can get really long.
