"Banter, an all-day cafe with two locations, has expanded with a third outpost opening today, at 201 E. 31st Street, at Third Avenue, in Murray Hill. Banter’s locations are worker-owner operated; they were acquired by Teamshares, which aids small businesses with owners looking to retire and converts them to employee-owned. As of January 2023, Banter was Teamshares’ first restaurant in NYC it worked with, but it had also helped restaurants pivot to worker-owner models in the tri-state area, such as Mario’s in Maywood, and Coppola’s, in New Providence, both in New Jersey." - Emma Orlow
