Banter (West Village)

Banter recently opened a second location of its Australian-inspired all day cafe with exposed white bricks, a pale pink accent wall and abstract art dotting the airy 34-seat space. The menu is overseen by executive chef Jake Hawkins, a Sydney native who's added new items such as a mango smoothie bowl, pulled chicken salad and the Golden Folded Eggs, a silky scramble that's a signature of the stylish eatery.
