😸 Team Jellicle or Team Ragtime? 🛞

It’s Tony Awards week (YAAAAY!) and the race for Best Revival of a Musical is shaping up to be one of the season’s biggest nail-biters. So tell us... are you Team Cats or Team Ragtime?

Broadway may keep us guessing, but there’s one thing you can always count on in this crazy business:

🌮 TACO TUESDAY at West Bank Cafe!

Join us tonight at Broadway’s hangout, slide up to the bar and debate the Tonys, relive the season’s best moments, predict the winners, and enjoy some seriously delicious tacos.

🍹 Plus, $20 BOTTOMLESS margaritas (90 min limit) with any entree purchase!

Because Tony voters may be unpredictable, but dinner plans don’t have to be.

🎭 See you tonight for tacos, Margs, Tony talk, and a little Broadway-friendly arguing! 😉

🧛 When The Lost Boys star LJ Benet hit The Kelly Clarkson Show last week, he said his biggest challenge moving from LA to NYC was finding a good breakfast burrito…

Challenge accepted.
At West Bank Cafe, we invite the vampires in…and feed them brunch.

Introducing
🌯 THE BENET BREAKFAST BURRITO 🌯

Fluffy scrambled eggs, golden crispy potatoes, savory Esposito’s sausage, buttery chunks of avocado, and a gooey shredded cheese blend all wrapped in a warm tortilla and served with fresh salsa and a bright petite salad on the side. 🌯✨

Crispy, creamy, cheesy, hearty…it’s the best breakfast burrito this side of Santa Clara.

And don’t forget about
🥂 $15 Bottomless Brunch 🍾

Every Sat + Sun 11-3

🍳 West Bank Cafe
📍 407 W 42nd St at 9th Ave

Just steps from Times Square and all your favorite Broadway shows…like, THE LOST BOYS!

There are some words for that - Dumb. Stupid. Crazy.

Who would you miss out on unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, bellinis, and bloody marys (90-min limit w/ entrée purchase)?
In a word? NOPE!

📺 You know where to be - West Bank Cafe, every weekend from 11-3. It’s the best brunch deal in Hells Kitchen!

We’ll have Saved by the Bell on the TV, Casey counting down the top 40, and all your breakfast favorites like eggs benny, avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancakes, and more!

No caffeine pills required. ☕🥂
