Eater had the scoop yesterday on the name for the latest venture from Emmy Squared's husband-wife team of Matt and Emily Hyland. The place is named after the state flower of Rhode Island. Matt was born in Brooklyn, Emily in New Jersey, and they met at Roger Williams University in the Ocean State. (Hey, you learned two factoid about Rhode Island today!)
Aside from grilled pizzas inspired by the Providence-based Al Forno, the menu will feature recipes with Italian and Portuguese influences, per Eater.
Violet is expected to open in early November. And it seems on track given all the work going on in this former home of GG's.

I know that folks reacted with horror to the concept of grilled pizza, but keep an open mind! I tried it up in Providence, and it's quite good.
I miss GG’s
Thank god they didn't call it Emmy Triplicate.
