Find Restaurant Recommendations Based on Your Music Taste With Spotify, American Express, and Resy

Dining out for the vibes? You’re not alone. According to Resy’s 2024 Retrospective, ambiance plays a huge role when diners choose a restaurant—and nothing sets the vibe like music. That’s why American Express and Resy tapped Spotify to help music lovers find great places to eat based on their taste in tunes.

“Food and music are deeply connected, which is why we’re thrilled to partner with American Express and Resy to bring the Music Tastes campaign to life,” said Ann Piper, Head of North America Sales at Spotify. “Discovery is such a big part of the Spotify experience, enhancing fans’ daily moments. Now we’re taking that journey a step further by pairing listeners’ music behaviors with personalized restaurant recommendations.”

Available through the end of the year, our new Music Tastes by Amex in-app experience brings Spotify users restaurant recommendations in their areas. Here’s how it works:

  • Head over to https://open.spotify.com/presents/amexmusictaste on your mobile device or search “Music Tastes by Amex” in the Spotify app.
  • Select from one of eight cities: Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Francisco, or Washington, D.C.
  • Based on your streaming behavior, Spotify will suggest a Music Taste profile: Smooth, Hearty, Lush, Fiery, Buttery, Earthy, Saucy, or Fresh.
  • Just like that, Resy restaurant recommendations are served up based on your city and Music Taste profile. Tap “Book on Resy” to make a reservation.
  • After you’ve selected a restaurant, you can share your personal Music Taste on social media.

“Both American Express and Spotify provide personalized experiences for our customers that especially resonate with millennial and Gen Z audiences,” said Jill Hamilton, Vice President, Global Brand Advertising, American Express. “Whether it’s Resy’s in-app Discover tab or Spotify’s personalized daylist, we offer a unique opportunity for a customer to make the experience their own. This new digital program combines users’ love of food and music to help them find their next favorite restaurant.”

From the moment Olivia Rodrigo’s second album, GUTS, was announced in June, fans have been hyped. The first two singles from the upcoming project, “vampire” and “bad idea right?,” have been fan favorites in the short time since their release, with “vampire” rising to become an unquestionable song of the summer.

To celebrate the release of GUTS on September 8, we’ve teamed up with American Express to bring fans the GUTS Gallery, a highly curated pop-up experience in downtown New York.

 

WHERE: 

25-27 Little West 12th Street NY, NY 10014

WHEN: 

Friday, September 8, 1pm – 6pm EST

Saturday, September 9, 12pm – 7pm EST

Sunday, September 10, 12pm – 7pm EST

 

The GUTS Gallery pop-up will have GUTS merch available for purchase, including t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts, as well as fun accessories like bumper stickers, dad hats, beanies, tote bags, and more. The elevated shopping opportunity will also feature photo moments and limited-edition giveaways.

Even more special, Olivia’s top listeners on Spotify along with American Express Card Members will be invited to explore the gallery one hour earlier than the general public opening on each day. They’ll also have the chance to experience more of Olivia Rodrigo with epic on-site benefits, including access to a limited-edition t-shirt for purchase, an exclusive gift with purchase for Amex Card Members, and a complimentary tote bag for all fans.

“We’ve worked in close partnership with Olivia and her team even before “drivers license made its debut, so it was a no-brainer to join forces once again for her sophomore effort, GUTS.” Lucy Davidson, Manager, Label Partnerships for Spotify told For the Record. “Olivia has some of the most loyal and engaged fans in the world – and we’ve loved being there along the way. From supporting her single “deja vu” by sending lyrics to her top fans to facilitating one of the first opportunities for fans to meet Olivia with the Spotify x Olivia SOUR Car Wash – we’re thrilled to help bring Olivia’s creative vision to life again, this time by inviting NY “Livies” into the GUTS Gallery for the weekend. As another huge moment for Olivia, we’re so excited to create special moments with fans that have bolstered her rise along the way.”

For more information, the official website has all the details you need. And if you can’t hardly wait for release day, you can join in on the GUTS countdown and pre-save the album so that it’s in your Library as soon as it comes out.
