An old Southern tradition dictates ringing in the new year with a plate full of black-eyed peas, collard greens and maybe even hog jowls. The “lucky” New Year’s Day meal is supposed to bring prosperity for the new year, and a few local restaurants will be open Friday to serve the dishes. Longstreet Cafe on Riverside Terrace in Gainesville will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., offering a full spread of Southern classics.
