The Dime

Where regional staples are reimagined into compelling new dishes so you can try your favorites for the first time again.

Regional comfort food leaves its comfort zone at The Dime, where Pierogies come stuffed with sweet potatoes and tossed with caramelized onions, spicy pork sausage, and dried orange rinds for a deliciously seasonal nod. Meanwhile, Mediterranean calamari gets a Pennsylvanian touch with Snyder pretzel crust, and an on-site bakery and ice cream maker pump out delectables like Pear and Apple Crumb Pie and Cream Cheese Sherbet. With wines ranging from Chardonnay to Carménère and a daily changing cheese board offering the latest from Pennsylvania farmsteads, every visit promises fresh flavors to have a fling with.

Some things – like time and technique – are fine dining trademarks whose rewards are reaped in dishes like the crowd-pleasing Lamb Shank. A four-hour braise in white wine, onions and lemon coaxes the rich cut into bright succulence, while a side of stone-ground grits allow gourmet and hearty to harmonize.
