NICKELS & DIMES

We love Dimes. One of the few places in the city capable of transporting one to the sunlight and nutrient-rich, yet delicious food generally relegated to the California coast- this LES/Chinatown restaurant is striking a chord with many. The place is born from great stock- co-owners Sabrina De Sousa and Alissa Wagner met at the beloved nearby cafe Lovely Day, with combined experience including Natural Gourmet Institute and Northern Spy Food Co.

All-day breakfast includes options that range from a beautiful sunny-side up wild mushroom tartine and classic scrambled egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich (topped with avocado, house-made hot sauce and pickled cherry peppers) to beautifully crafted acai bowls. Lunch and dinner are just as enticing, with a a slough of salad options and whole-foods forward items like spiced quinoa and harissa salmon.

Don’t miss the house-made line of organic, aromatherapeutic lip balms and body products.
