Foodies from the tristate area and beyond are currently gearing up for EEEEEATSCON New York 202 on October 4 & 5, 2025. This time it is being held out on Manhattan’s spacious Pier 76 in Hudson River Park (408 12th Avenue). Spread across two days from 12 PM to 6 PM (with an early-entry hour at 11 AM for certain Chase Sapphire cardholders), it promises a festival experience more immersive than your typical food fair—restaurants are the headliners, not just sideshows.
You’ll find both beloved NYC joints and out-of-town talent converging in one space: expect Lucali Pasta Shop, Santo Tacos, Atoboy, Caffè Panna, Kabawa, plus creative collaborations like Cowy Burger × The Salty (from Miami), Down North Pizza (Philadelphia) × Aunts et Uncles, Brothers Sushi (LA), Parish Barbeque (Austin), Dune Brothers (Rhode Island) and more.
Beyond food, there’s entertainment: live music, special guest appearances (chefs like Chef Charles Gabriel of Charles’ Pan Fried Chicken pictured above, podcasters, etc.), comedy, games, and interactive moments are built into the programming. Because the festival is produced by The Infatuation as a celebration of food culture, you can expect more than tasting plates — think bold flavor, Instagram-worthy dishes, crowd moments, and memorable experiences.
On the perks side: Chase cardholders have special access. There is early entry for Sapphire Preferred/Reserve cardholders, a dedicated “Chase Sapphire Reserve Experience” (with complimentary food/drinks, etc.), a special All-You-Can-EAT ticket option via Chase Ultimate Rewards (while available), and a “Spend $10, Earn $10” promotion when spending with participating vendors (after activating the offer through the Chase app or website).
Admission price for general ticket holders $25. The event aims to transform Pier 76 into more than just a food hall: it seeks to embody festival energy, combining communal eating with discovery, performance, and enjoyment of what food tells about place, culture, creativity, and community.
