The Johnson Diner & Bar will open in the middle of March replacing the Riverdale staple Blue Bay Restaurant, which had been there since the 1960s until it closed in 2022.
It’s been a tale of two landmark diners in Riverdale for the past 20 months. One that has many in the community asking what’s next for the places on Kingsbridge Avenue and Johnson Avenue. Places they used to get some coffee, eggs and conversation.
