I just got an email about a restaurant called Johnny Cakes opening at 323 Walker Street. I so hope this is a gay, mafia-themed diner.

johnny cakes is a caribbean term for a fried bread/dough concoction.... its a flour based dough, with salt and water, though sometimes a bit milk is substituted, also the small balls of dough can come kneaded in with grated coconut to make "coconut johnny cakes". Interesting enough (for the restaurant to be so recently opened), "johnny cakes and saltfish" is a popular breakfast meal especially for easter when most families have a fresh stock all weekend, from Good Friday on to Easter Sunday Brunch. ...So here's to hoping that its a Caribbean food spot and i can check it out this weekend.
