Café 50 West’s Blog

I know it's been some time since i last posted something.

Well, it's time for me to report that we have a new staff member, ODED, that is helping us improve the flavors on our menu.  (He will also allow me to have a day off or two...)

SOOOOO, we will be introducing new menu items over the next week, so LOOK OUT FOR THEM!

That's not a threat, but a promise of some good things to come.  See you soon!

So, yes...  We have once again made some menu adjustments...

In order to further compete in these difficult times, we have made some price concessions and reformulated a few of our dishes.

* All burgers and sandwiches are now served with homemade potato chips, instead of fries.
This allows us to save money on potatoes and the oil we fry them in.  WE THEN PASS THOSE SAVINGS BACK TO YOU!

* We have adjusted menu prices DOWNWARD.
This is a move directed at being more competitive.  We realize that people have less money to spend, so we are looking for ways to give people the same FUN EXPERIENCE, just at LOWER PRICES...

* And, of course, NEW MENU ITEMS!
In our continued effort to give YOU, our customers, what you want, we have added some new things to our daily reportiore... Buffalo Chicken Wings, Fish Tacos, Omelets, and an Egg Sandwich are now available ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

COME IN AND SAY HI!

Even as we are in the midst of the worse economic situation in many generations, i am pleased to say that today we served our BUSIEST brunch ever!  And don't get me wrong, at the end of the week, the numbers don't lie...  Things are VERY tough...

But, every once in a while, the sun must come out to shine.

And that's what happened today.  A full house of BRUNCHERS, eating and drinking to their delight!  Lot's of folks took advantage of our BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH drinking deal...  For those of you who don't already know, when we serve Brunch (Saturdays & Sundays, from 11am 'till sunset), we offer an additional "All You Can Drink" option for $15.  That's all the Bloody Mary's, Bellini's, Mimosas, and Screwdrivers you can handle (one at a time, of course, and while we think you can still walk).  And no, the food is NOT included...

Come and see what all the fuss is about!

Pretty cool...! I think it's our first celebrity sighting. 

And his daughter's pretty cute too! (Just saying!)

I just LOVE the vibe here on the weekends...

All the people, enjoying their time with friends, families and/or lovers.

We get complimented on the food all the time, but to see the same faces every Saturday and Sunday... that is what tells me that we are doing something right...

Especially in times like these, we small business owners need a little suport every now and again.

Whether it be financial or in social format, IT'S AAAAALL GOOOOOD...

See ya around!

In the spirit of trying to mix things up a bit, we have started to do a few different things here at the café...

Mondays, from 6-10, we have started KARAOKE, on our little stage towards the back.

Join Andrew, our resident karaoke EXTRAORDINAIRE, and sing your heart out while the rest of us giggle under our breaths!

(Also, you can enjoy a FREE DRINK after of your 5 minutes of fame are up!!!)

Tuesdays, from 7-9, we are starting a ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION called Let's Talk.

A sort of "MEETING OF THE MINDS...", where we will talk about life, politics, religion, and/or ANYTHING that concerns or inspires you...  Topics will vary from week to week, depending upon who shows up.  The conversation will be led by Leor Sinai, a good friend of mine and skilled dialogue facilitator.

Also, don't forget that it's Happy Hour ALL NIGHT LONG, so drink at a discount while you talk (or just listen...).

SHHHHH...  There's a conversation being had.  Come and JOIN IN!

Saturdays, after 10pm, is OLD SCHOOL 90's HIP-HOP + REGGAE night.

Join us with resident DJ JAY (and other random special guests), while we spin all those GREAT 90's tracks we grew up listening to!!!  A true BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Sometimes i hear people say that we are hard to find, hard to spot on the street.
 
So, here is a look at us from out front.
 
DON'T WE LOOK LIKE A FUN PLACE?!?!?!

Enjoying the food, the vibe and the company...

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Can't wait to come in 10 or 20 years and say "I've been here from the BEGINNING!"
