The event includes a cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner from acclaimed NYC restaurant Colonia Verde, plus a custom gift to take home. My first Broadway show before moving to the U.S. was Lin-Manuel Miranda's &#8216;In the Heights,' so you better believe I'll be trying to make my way to this event.<\/li>\n<li>For foodie-cinephiles, AppleTV+ Summer Celebration in Los Angeles includes cocktails and a curated tasting menu at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Attendees will enjoy a celebration of AppleTV+'s shows and movies featuring behind-the-scenes and exclusive surprises from the studio. This actually sounds quite fun, and I can easily make it down to LA from Seattle, so stay tuned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_217966\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/305\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-217966 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AppleTV-Summer-Celebration-1-300x122.png\" alt=\"Screenshot from Chase Experiences - AppleTV+ Summer Celebration\" width=\"750\" height=\"305\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AppleTV-Summer-Celebration-1-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AppleTV-Summer-Celebration-1-1024x417.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Chase<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Book_Chase_Experiences\">How to Book Chase Experiences<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All of these Summer, Reserved experiences can be booked via Chase Ultimate Rewards.
