2025 is going to be eventful for us!
We could not be more excited, honored, and humbled to be the new owners of the Legendary @westbankcafenyc and Laurie Beechman Theatre!
We will work tirelessly to ensure that the incredible legacy Steve Olsen created and maintained for decades is protected and preserved.
We can't wait to reopen in January! So many risotto balls await us all!
Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support!
Meryl Streep! Martin Short! Victor Garber! At West Bank Cafe!!!!
They were so wonderful, so fun, so kind, so generous with the staff.
They even asked if we wanted to take a picture!
I LOVE OWNING A RESTAURANT!!!!
✨🎭 Last night, The WBC was the room where it happened! 🎉
We were beyond honored to host the HamilTEN Pre-Show Party — a dazzling night in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, filled with the spirit of Broadway, community, and celebration. 💫
With original cast members of Hamilton, a surprise appearance by actual rock royalty (P!nk! 💖), and stunning wines generously donated by Jon Anthony Vineyards, it was a night to remember.
Yesterday’s festivities, with over 125,000+ donors raised an astonishing $5+ million, supporting 14 vital immigrant service organizations, plus $1 million for @publictheaterny — the very place where Hamilton’s journey began. 🗽🔥
📸 Scroll through for just a taste of the festivities — the toasts, the talent, the theatrical magic.
🎉 Spotted in the room:
Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Thayne Jasperson, Sydney James Harcourt…oh, and P!nk 😎. Not to mention Luis Miranda (our favorite person ever) and the man of the hour, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Come see us at The Laurie Beechman Theatre & West Bank Cafe — where the Broadway community comes to gather, celebrate, and make history.
🎭 This is where milestones are toasted and legends come to play.

This Mother’s Day, give her what she’s always wanted…a fierce drag brunch in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen!
On Sunday, May 10th, the queens are serving looks, numbers, and bottomless mimosas, bellinis, screwdrivers, and bloody marys! 💋
Drag icons Kizha Carr, Jackie Cox, and Jan Sport reunite for a high-glam, high-chaos afternoon of celebrating your MOTHA at the historic Laurie Beechman Theatre.

OMG This Angel!!!! I was listening to the amazingness that is @lostboysmusical and the next level vocals of @ljbenet and apparently it moved Jackson to come hug his daddy! How cute is this!
I rescued this incredible 8 year boy last fall and all he wants in the world is to be loved! So it's kind of sweet that he got so huggy and lovey during while I was listening to "Belong to Someone".
He belongs to me forever now! Go rescue a dog and Also go see Lost Boys it's out of this world amazing!
Had the best time at the Dream Girls workshop with my new best friend EGOT @iamjhud
So thrilled to be a part of this incredible production. @westbankcafenyc definitely needs a drink named after Jennifer Hudson immediately to celebrate!

Update on the dog we rescued two weeks ago:
It is official we are keeping him.
Jackson Carl D'Angora has found his forever home.
He is too happy here and has been through too much and we already love him, so we are going to make it work.
Jackson is the name that seems to fit him most and his middle name Carl is to honor his God Mother and angel Carly Sakolove who found him and brought us all together.
Mona and Emmy are adjusting and they are even playing together now. So the only issue now is that we own a restaurant, a cabaret club, and have 5 shows opening in the next month and we now have an animal who
LOVES waking us up at around 7am every morning LOL. Pray for us!
Welcome Home Jackson Carl!
