Mo's place is in Brooklyn at the end of the R line (95th Street) but this is reflected in the price. It is close to the subway and from there you can access a lot of Manhattan with out having to change lines.
Locally there is a decent Italian restaurant at the end of the Street, a passable Chinese and a grocery store nearby, directly opposite a wine and liquor store if that is your thing. At the end of a hard days sightseeing we were quite happy to collapse with a bottle of wine and some stuff from the deli in front of the TV.
