Dimes Deli

This compact Lower East Side spot operates as a design-conscious sundry shop and counter-service eatery. Its shelves pair niche pantry items—from interesting condiments, books, and fresh flowers to house-branded candles and lip balm—with ready-to-go produce and prepared foods. On the menu, expect options like rice bowls, salads with signature dressings, and fresh fruit. The focused layout and curated inventory draw steady crowds, though visitors frequently point out higher price points and long waits.
