Back to school! 🎒📚✏️ And BACK TO WBC!

When there are no more getaways to Fire Island and the Hamptons, when those Summer Stock contracts end, and when your summer vacations are over…WBC will be here to welcome you back to HK!

So, forget the soggy homemade sandwiches, overpriced office cafeterias, and dry leftovers. This school year, we’re upgrading your lunch period!

🍎 $15 Lunch Deals 🍎
Last year we introduced a fresh new affordable lunch menu packed with all the good stuff. Like our:
🥓 BLT with creamy garlic mayo
🥪 Chicken Salad Sandwich
🌯 Chicken Caesar Wrap
🍳 A protein-packed Herbes de Provence omelette

🍔 Plus the classic WBC favorites that have made us a neighborhood staple since 1978! 🥗

Whether you’re trying to close the deal, escape your inbox, or just avoid another sad desk lunch, consider this your hall pass. 😉

📚 WHEN: Monday–Friday, 11AM–3PM 📍 WHERE: West Bank Cafe (your new favorite out-of-office retreat!) 👩‍🏫 WHO: You! Especially if you’re tired of the same-old Theater District lunches and Times Square chain restaurants.

So grab your books, leave the Lunchables at home, and WELCOME BACK TO WBC!

Because lunch period just got a whole lot more fun. 🎒🍽️✨

🤔 Whats for dinner?
 How about we skip the shake and bake and try West Bank Cafe’s legendary Roast Chicken?!?!

🏖️ Can’t get away to the beach this week? Let us bring the beach to you! 🦐🌊

Our Shrimp Scampi is a little taste of summer and sunshine!

Enjoy tender grilled shrimp tossed with garlic, butter, lemon, and made with our secret ingredient - L.O.V.E.

It’s delicious on its own, but even better with the perfect sip: a crisp Rosé, a strong martini, or our refreshing non-alcoholic Spring in a Bottle Blanc de Blancs. 🍋🥂🍸

Plus, we’ve been playing some old Beachy movies on the bar TV. Who doesn’t love Frankie and Anette?!? 🏄‍♀️🏄

Come hungry. Leave full and happy and with no sunburn! 😉
