We should have thought of this earlier. kestrel just started a "Restaurants?" thread in the dailyheights forums. Quick takes so far: Tavern on Dean,Tom’s Diner, Cafe Shane, Carls Place, "The fancy Italian place on Vanderbilt" (Aliseo), George’s (The Usual), Soda, New Prospect Cafe, City Lighting, La Gamin…

Andrew lets us know what’s inside Grand Army Plaza. Click on the mysterious photo excerpt to find out.
We don’t complain much, but we don’t like this giant, fire-truck-red clothing dumpster, brought here by a private corporation that resells your clothing for profit. Won’t someone please let Mr. Clothes Landfill out of his cage so he can go away? Or is that chain-link fence there to protect it from the vandalism that (I assume) led to the removal of his cousin at Underhill Ave. and Sterling Pl.?
The Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, Inc. (PHNDC),
formed in the spring of 2004, is an umbrella group representing
Prospect Heights block associations and civic organizations. Some of
the group’s stated goals are to "guide development" and "preserve the diversity that is the hallmark of this vibrant community." PHNDC is probably best known for commissioning an independent neighborhood development study predicated at least in part by concerns over the potential negative impact of the Forest City Ratner Atlantic Yards Project on the neighborhood. Recently, the PHNDC has been meeting with the Borough President’s office in an effort to keep the residents of Prospect Heights involved in the development of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS). The founder and chair of PHNDC is Gib Veconi.

The Citysearch review says Soda Bar in the 30s was "a German-owned ice cream parlor serving cherry-lime rickeys … vintage remnants (remain) such as wooden tables with lunch-tray grooves, a Royal Crown Cola calendar and cherry-red fountain-style bar stools salute old times."
