Why not use long exposure and a tripod ?  might help if you used the nikon
50mm F1.4 lens

Or are you looking for a night vision camera in total darkness.. with infra
red  lights ?

Adjusting the D70 to 1600 ASA makes it great for night photography.  I
recently took the D70 on a photo shoot at night and found it excellent
with color saturation increased and ASA set to 1600.  Also there are a
number of helpful web sites which discuss changing the default factory
menu settings to more usable practical settings (such as turning off
the beep etc.)

Currently using the 28-105 Nikon AF Lense which migrated from my old
D-80 body which is sitting on the shelf. Shots at night of out door
sidewalk café scenes, and backlit bakery shop displays were
impressive. Especially the chocolate and strawberry cheese cakes.

Is there a way to push the D-70 to 3200 ASA? Any other suggested
adjustments to optimize for night photography?

Of course. You can have even higher, if you want. Setting the ISO to 1600 and
then underexposing one stop is equivalent to ISO 3200. You just then use
Photoshop to adjust the exposure up one stop. Each stop of underexposure
doubles your ISO. You just bring it back in editing. Be prepared for some
really noisy pictures.

I have a D70s.  For shooting stills, stick the camera on a tripod and
use ISO 200.
