"Sappe (from the Soothr team) was built for parties. The Thai restaurant in Chelsea glows neon pink, with a mirrored ceiling, over-the-top cocktails, and a noisy back room that can accommodate big groups. Order a bunch of skewers for the table—prioritizing the squid, chicken skin, and fried okra—and don’t skip the laab ped udon with its fiery mound of basil and ground duck. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
