Dime Store Brunches; Big-Ass Sandwiches Selling Cart

DOWNTOWN— At Dayna McErlean's "finer diner" the Dime Store, chef Claire Miller has launched weekend brunch service, with a menu takes a slight departure from the usual weekday breakfasts. There are no biscuits and gravy, but instead dishes like a French-style omelette, a take on eggs Benedict, and a "Boss-Lady's Breakfast," with braised greens, over-easy eggs, and sausage. And perhaps most crucially, this weekend's brunch menu sees Dime Store brunch cocktails entering the mix, including bloody Marys, mimosas, and Salty Dogs. Brunch is now available on Saturday and Sunday, from 9a.m. to 3p.m. [EaterWire]
