Say farewell to Gruppo on Avenue B before the relocation

As we first reported last month, Gruppo is heading to a new home after 26 years on Avenue B. 

Owner Antonio Gomez told us that the thin-crust pizza specialists are relocating and merging with their sister restaurant, Spunto, in a new space at 261 Bowery between Houston and Stanton. 

Starting tomorrow (Sunday!), Gruppo is hosting "A Proper Goodbye" with happy hour specials all day and night ... "until we turn the lights off in our current location." 

Gruppo is at 99 Avenue B, between Sixth and Seventh Streets. Visit their website for hours.

    Since 1999. 19 minutes further away from me by foot. Sad. Glad they are still open.

    Had many many Monday wine and pizza dates with a friend there. Good memories.

    In 2009 my now wife and I had our third date (you know, the pivotal one) at Gruppo. We will always cherish Gruppo for facilitating eighteen years (and counting) of happiness.
