Halifax Gives Back: Every day during breakfast, lunch + dinner

Hey, Halifax diners — lots of good stuff going on down at the restaurant at The W. The Hoboken restaurant’s new Halifax Give Back initiative is here to save you some moola, and it’s as easy-peasy as saying the code word “Kingfisher.” Yup, you read that right: get the sales tax of your breakfast, lunch, or dinner meal {excluding brunch} comped simply by dropping the name of the Halifax logo {pictured above} the Kingfisher. Even better, the promotion is in effect daily — and just in time: Halifax’s outdoor seating {which overlooks the Hudson River + NYC} officially opens on Thursday. Dinner with a view? We think so. Happy dining!
