Yeah, if you go to Grimaldi's down @ DUMBO (part of Brooklyn Heights - Old Fulton Street), they have a whole history of Patsy/Grimaldi's. I believe for legal reasons, the name had to be changed.

Columbia was my 2nd home during my college days. I went back in 2001 and I went to California Dreaming. The food was soooo yummy. I loved the decor as well.

Then girl you need to check out SPICE. There are several locations and they all have like this ecclectic vibe. Peeps is soho-chic but Spice has an identity all its own.

I am gonna check out Amy Ruth and Spoonbread.

I went to Spelman. But, my roommate was from Columbia, so we would go "home" all the time.
