Kiki's Dining & Drinks

The Most Fun Dinner Spots In NYC

"In the short but extremely well-documented evolution of Dimes Square, there are the newcomers (Casino, Le Dive) and the classics (Dimes, Kiki’s). And long after people have moved on to create a new “microneighborhood” elsewhere, Kiki’s will still be here: the perfect fried cheese and tzatziki-eating destination before a night out on the Lower East Side. This Greek spot is cavernous, just the right level of loud, and it upholds the age-old tradition of serving house wine. On a weekend night, there’s going to be a line out the door, and an hour wait at the very least. Put your name down and go grab a $16 glass of skin contact wine at Le Dive first—it’ll make the liter of house red at Kiki’s taste even better." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman
