Super cool SoCal hangout Dimes reopened in a bigger and better space in the Lower East Side - and now they have a liquor license too.

This LA-style cafe and haunt of the beautiful people has been at the top of the Californian cuisine scene for some time, and now with bigger digs, they have expanded to full kitchen service offering daily specials and a regularly changing menu.

The project of Alissa Wagner and Sabrina DeSousa (above), with Gerri Noack as chef, the menu has health food influences - without being health food - in the likes of gluten free nori rolls or matcha sesame sweet buns, but he keep things nourishing and filling with the five-ounce flap steak or red curry mussels at dinner. Between 4 and 6pm they hope to offer a small plates menu soon, and across the street Dimes Superette is due to open mid-June, with carry grab and go fare.
