@Pizzablogger Don't get me wrong. More power to Dom for making the best of his modest enterprise. It's, after all, what makes America and, more so, Brooklyn great. Di Fara's is on my bucket list none the less.

@Paulie Gee: I stand corrected but I'm still heading to Midwood.

I have yet tried Di Fara's, but you bet he'll get what he's asking for. Now that the G train is going to his neighborhood, crowds are gonna get stiffer. He's making bank. I'll stick with Nick's in Forest Hills.

Apparently a tourist...

I'm on the lookout on @twitter. Tried one on Bwy and 62nd on Memorial Day and it was delish.

Not really off the beaten path but rather off the Grand Ave station. The really neat part is is open 'til 1am. Most meals under 6 bucks. Delivery available. If only they @twitter'd.

Get used to the "new normal". While increased affluence is rising in India, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and even in Sub-Saharan Africa leading to increased consumption, we'll see price spikes in not only rice but also cooking oils, ie canola, peanut, etc. as well as increased energy costs in production and transportation. As farms of yesteryears here in the US made way for suburban development are now mired in the sub-prime mortgage crisis, our government is flat-footed in the race to create the second "green revolution" lest they lead us to a near perfect storm of the future. Watch SOYLENT GREEN and prepare.
