B, L and D suggestions for a delicious day in Brooklyn

Husband and I will be escaping the kids and need suggestions for a gastronomic day. He's a pescetarian and I'm a vegetarian. Open to any cuisine, any price point. Our radius is anywhere between Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. TIA!!

    I was in Brooklyn in mid-Oct and had the best cheese blintzes of my life at tiny Uncle John's on Seventh Ave in Park Slope - totally awesome!

        Colonie. Really excellent, seasonal food and killer cocktails and desserts. For a quick snack: Catania. Also Van Horn (PLT sandwich!), Brucie, Buttermilk Channel (they have a vegetarian menu); Smith Canteen (quick lunch/snack); Culture (frozen yogurt in interesting flavors); second Saul (for dinner), and Clover Club (drinks).

          Breakfast:

          Muffins & Coffee at Blue Sky Bakery

          Lunch or Dinner:

          The River Cafe (big $$, but also the greatest view in NYC)

          Noodle Pudding

          Convivium Osteria

          Brooklyn Fare (Lunch)

          The Grocery

          Saul

          Vinegar Hill House

          Rose Water (also good for brunch if it's the weekend)

          Blue Ribbon Brasserie

          Chestnut

          Stone Park Cafe

          (normally I'd add Henry's End & Applewood, but I'm not so sure either'd be the best choice for a vegetarian...)

          Some of the above, of course, only have veggie appetizers, but any would be happy to make entree portions of them, I'm sure (or just order a bunch of veggie apps and dine tapas-style)
