The—Belated—Return of Banter's Outdoor Seating

I glanced over while walking by one of my favorite new restaurants today, Banter, and for a second thought I was seeing things. Their outdoor seating has suddenly reappeared—and I think with rather inviting new tables and chairs to boot—after being oddly absent during this delightfully mild spring and summer. Anyway, better late than never. Soon, I will be wallowing away the afternoons doing this... :)

  1. YES! Love Banter and all of the staff. When we eagerly arrived Friday night to FINALLY be able to enjoy their outdoor area, it turned out all of the tables had very recently been sat and would have been an hour-ish wait. However, the hostess went and spoke to the owner and they actually put together another table and chairs set and added it outside for us! Amazing service. Amazing food. Long live Banter!

  2. Good news! I was really annoyed earlier this summer when they didn't erect the outdoor sitting area!

  3. Perhaps they didn't get their outdoor seating permit in time. They missed out on one of the nicest summers in memory.

  4. Banter had to wait from the city to approve the outdoor seating. It took over 4 months to approve (NYC red tape) ??

  5. Should have gone to community board or Koslowitz to expedite process. That's a damn shame!
