1) Upper West Side: The Upper West Side location of Ed Schoenfeld and Joe Ng's West Village hit Red Farm was initially projected for the end of this year, but it sounds like West Siders are going to have to wait a little longer for the super-popular Chinese food. A Red Farm rep tells My Upper West that there's "no firm opening date yet but it will be sometime in early 2013." [PLYWOOD]

2) Prospect Heights: A new café-bar combo is coming to Washington Avenue at Bergen Street, reports Patch.
