Prestigious Line-Up of Star Power Fills WESTBANK CAFE Music Schedule For May

Historic theatre district eatery, West Bank Cafe, has announced May lineup for its "Guest Artist On The Veranda" series. Featuring jazz legends, cabaret icons, and Tony nominated performers this schedule is sure to attract many patrons, and reservations are strongly encouraged by calling 212-695-6909 or visiting resy.com .

The restaurant which opened in 1978 is also home to The Laurie Beechman Theatre which will reopen later this year. Owners Steve Olsen and Janet Momjian are thrilled to continue their diner music program, which has seen great success both as outdoor programing last summer and since the restaurant reopened for indoor dining earlier this year.

Currently West Bank Cafe is open Wednesday-Sunday 4-10pm, with live music each night. There is no cover charge for dinner music, though virtual tip jars for the performers are available. The music schedule for the month of May is: (unless noted performance times are 7-9pm)
