Di Fara: Decline in Quality?
Nope, I was there last week and it was as good as ever!
Morningside Heights - 106th - 120th Sts: Dinner?
oh no, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! I hope you figured it out.
Their website is http://arestaurantandwineroom.com and I believe they do take reservations. Did you end up going there?
Morningside Heights - 106th - 120th Sts: Dinner?
A Restaurant. Just go! I just discovered this place recently after living in the neighborhood forever, and it is really amazing. Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, French-Caribbean food. It's on Columbus just south of 108th---tiny place right next to the cafe on the SE corner of the street. Oh, and it's entirely BYOB so grab a bottle of wine beforehand.
As for Community, I actually really love it---I think people are just being over-critical in response to the hype.
Oh, and The Heights is good for their cheap lunch and their happy hour, but probably not what you're looking for for dinner.
What's good to eat around the 116th St. stop on the B/C line?
Do you have any more information on the health food store? Is it going to be any bigger than the others? Opening date? How exciting!
Dine in Brooklyn--2008
Ate at Rose Water last night---fantastic! The dishes were all taken from their regular menu, and I highly recommend the clams appetizer and the pollack entree. Truly delicious. Among all of us, we tried all three entrees and they were all good but I think the fish was the best. For desserts, the banana chocolate dessert was good but the apricot cookies were better! Not something I would normally order but they were really good and came with a cute little shot of almond milk for dipping. The $14 wine pairing was a great addition as well.

I also had a terrible brunch at Billie's Black once, after hearing about how great their brunch was.
I want to like it, though, because it's one of the only known gay businesses in the neighborhood.

Good additions, rose water. I was really disappointed with brunch at Les Ambassades but their pastries are good. Society and Saurin Park are pleasant places to sit, but for a coffee shop with better food (and pastries!) head to Settepani (http://www.settepani.com/ on Lenox around 120th.
To answer your question about Piatto D'Oro, it is actually Piatto D'Oro II (the original is further east) and they have really great italian food! I haven't eaten in yet, but I hear the dining room is quite pleasant, and the delivery is fast. They recently raised their pizza prices, but it's still worth it as it's way better than any other pizza in the area (Patsy's doesn't offer delivery and is further). Everything I've had on their menu so far has been great, in fact, and mostly very reasonably priced.
