Eclectic, health-conscious Californian-style fare in a minimalist space
"Yummy yummy healthy food. The new location seems as cozy and nicely designed as the previous one." - My Orange Box
"Dimes is the restaurant that started it all, and we're still fans of the vegetable-forward New American food here. Sure, all the fixtures look like they were purchased at the MoMA design store, and you’ll be surrounded by the kind of people who inspire Nolita Dirtbag memes, but think of it as an exercise in urban anthropology. Order a wheatgrass margarita and some togarashi potato wedges with green goddess aioli. It sounds silly, but no one here is judging." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, hannah albertine, will hartman
"If you’re going to eat at Dimes, you have to be ok with the distinct feeling that there’s a party happening here that you were most certainly not invited to. But once you move past that, you’ll find a big menu that hits every category of healthy brunch things that are both very nice to look at and very nice to put in your mouth: fancy toasts, acai bowls, grain bowls, egg stuff. Gang’s all here, and in better form than you’ll find at a lot other places." - katherine lewin
"Even though Dimes is literally responsible for the cultural phenomenon that is (gestures wildly) Dimes Square, we really love the vegetable-forward New American food at this scene-y spot. Sure, all the fixtures look like they were purchased at the MoMA design store, and you’ll be surrounded by the kind of people who inspire Nolita Dirtbag memes, but think of it as an exercise in urban anthropology. This restaurant is also less than two minutes away from the East Broadway F stop, and works as the perfect launch pad for the kind of day when it’s entirely too cold to be out, but also you wanted to leave your apartment." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
"We love Dimes for breakfast because it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the trendy, minimalist space in relative peace and quiet, and because the restaurant responsible for this micro-neighborhood also happens to make great breakfast tacos. You’ll get a cheesy, spicy combo of scrambled eggs with tomatillo salsa, cheddar, jalapeño, and hot sauce inside a corn tortilla, which you can enjoy with a cup of great third-wave coffee in relative peace and quiet." - carina finn koeppicus
