Not a Bad Idea to Take a ‘Nibble’

Ok, so the 70 degree temp this past weekend was enough to get a couple of mid-towners all the way to south Memorial to try one of the places that had been on our list for some time. That place is Nibbles in a strip mall at 83rd street. A pleasant place on the inside, gold walls with framed art and posters. The first thing that you notice when you enter is the glass case that has desserts by the slice (or bar) and whole cakes for sale. For seating there was an eclectic selection of tables and chairs and even a small sofa. We sat down and had menus right away. We were a bit worried since we hit the place right during the lunch hour and by the time we decided, there were three orders just put into the kitchen in front of us.
However, the food started coming out of the kitchen in a timely way, and we had our order after just a few minutes. My lovely companion ordered the tortilla soup with salad. The salad greens were very fresh and cut to bite size portions. The soup was hardy with corn, beans, and chicken topped by crisp tortilla chips. She also recieved warm homemade bread that was over an inch thick. Wonderful. I tried the Crimps, Fries, and salad. Crimps are shrimp and cream cheese with chives wrapped up in a spring roll wrapper and fried. The Crimps and fries were both just the right temperature (very warm) and were not greasy at all. The only thing the dish begged for was a dipping sauce.
Perhaps the best thing came at the end of the meal. We asked what was the favorite thing under the glass counter. “That would be the sopapilla cheesecake” we were told. So my date and I split one. Excellent! Prices range from $6.95 to about $10.95.
