Where's the Best Place to Dine Out in Riverdale NYC? By Morris Gut  Bronx Voice  October 24, 2025 BRONX NEWS - The Johnson Diner in Riverdale has been marking its first anniversary, a 90-seat contemporized diner and bar that combines the best traditions of the past and present. The atmosphere is casual, bright and breezy. Have a seat at the counter or tuck into a booth. Amiable general manager Peter and his team will take good care of you. The Johnson is a great stop for breakfast (all day), lunch, or dinner 7 days a week. I met my family recently for weekend breakfast/brunch. I was in the mood for a good old fashioned platter of Corned Beef Hash with a hefty side of home fries. I was quite happy with the freshness on the plate. For my guests: classic Eggs Benedict with Canadian Bacon, hollandaise, on an English muffin; a 4-egg California Omelet, avocado, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms; and a 4-egg Zorba Omelet, with spinach, tomatoes, onions, feta.

BRONX - Bronx man who fatally stabbed his girlfriend in the face with a steak knife during an argument will spend the next 20 years in prison.




Kelvin Diaz, 33, was sentenced March 3, 2023 to 20 years in prison and five years' of post release supervision before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Marsha Michael. The defendant pleaded guilty to first-degree Manslaughter on February 16, 2023.





According to the investigation, on January 29, 2021 inside 1965 Lafayette Avenue, the defendant attacked Onelfy Then-Cordero with a broomstick, causing blunt force trauma to her head, which caused her death. 




Diaz then stabbed his girlfriend multiple times in the face with a steak knife.

 

A neighbor called police to report a woman screaming for help. When police arrived and entered the apartment, they found Then-Cordero mortally wounded. 





Diaz was arrested on scene and told officers he stabbed the victim. 


“An argument between a couple escalated to brutality and a woman is dead,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark. “The defendant has been held accountable but the victim’s loved ones will continue to suffer. We must do all we can to prevent domestic violence, which traumatizes so many people beyond just the victim.”
