BROOKLYN. If you're a movie buff, the key words "Elia" and "Brooklyn" may recall Kazan's adaptation of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." That said, this Greek charmer is giving folks a whole new reason to think fondly of Brooklyn, Bay Ridge in particular. Like traditional estiatorios or tavernas those social centerpieces of Greece's quaint seaside villages Eliá seems to welcome patrons with a warm, cheery embrace that's punctuated by great music, seafood (grilled octopus is a must), and drink. And, just for good measure, be sure to save room for a few pastry bites and coffee before you leave. TRAIN: R to 86th St
