//The line

Banter is an Australian-style all-day brunch and cafe concept with several NYC locations; the Murray Hill outpost (201 East 31st St) draws the genre's typical weekend brunch crowd for dishes like avocado toast, egg plates, and smoothie bowls.

Reported guidance describes weekend lines running up to around 40 minutes, which is why the venue offers both a Resy reservation option and a remote waitlist that texts walk-ins when their table is ready — useful tools if you'd rather not stand in line.
