East Village location of Emmy Squared debuts today on 1st Avenue
Emmy Squared is opening today (not sure what time just yet — and only for dinner) at 83 First Ave. at Fifth Street, per the door signage. (Thanks to EVG reader Puddy for the photo below...)
The popular Williamsburg-based pizzeria specializes in Detroit-style square pies and burgers. (You can find the menu here.)
The corner space was previously home, for 26 years, to Three of Cups.
Emmy Squared was originally thought to be taking over the GG's storefront on Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. That space, however, has remained dormant since GG's closed on Dec. 23.
A rep for Emmy Squared owners Matthew and Emily Hyland told Eater in March that they are considering the GG's location for a new restaurant concept. The Hylands also operate Emily over on Downing Street.

Emmy Squared signage arrives at the former Three of Cups
Renovations continue in the restaurant space at 83 First Ave. and Fifth Street...where two of the awnings for the new tenant — Emmy Squared — are now in place...
Emmy Squared, the Williamsburg-based restaurant serving burgers and Detroit-style pizza, is taking over this former home of Three of Cups, which shut down after service on April 1.
The Emmy Squared website doesn't have a specific opening date for the new East Village location, just "coming soon"
In announcing the closure, Three of Cups owner Anthony Barile wrote in part: "The reasons are many that we are at this moment, with all of them meaning that I can’t sustain it any longer." The pizzeria and Italian restaurant opened in December 1992.

Cleaning out the Three of Cups
Three of Cups closed after service on April 1... and today, workers are removing some of the contents of the 25-plus-year-old restaurant here on First Avenue and Fifth Street.
An EVG reader shared these photos, noting: "If these are the new owners, they are off to a stellar start showing respect for their neighbors and general sanitation laws." (No word on who authorized this work.)

Last weekend for Three of Cups
This is the last weekend for Three of Cups, which opened on First Avenue at Fifth Street in December 1992.
As first reported on March 22, the pizzeria and Italian restaurant was closing after service on April 1. (A few people thought this might be an April Fool's Day joke. It is not.)
Owner Anthony Barile wrote this on Facebook:
The reasons are many that we are at this moment, with all of them meaning that I can’t sustain it any longer. It’s the end of the longest thing I’ve continuously been involved with, almost 1/2 my life, nearly 26 years.
My wife worked here before we were married, my children grew up playing here and my son has worked here with me for the last two years. Three of Cups is a big part of our home and lives.
The Three of Cups Lounge is closing too.

After nearly 26 years, Three of Cups is closing on 1st Avenue; Emmy Squared arriving next?
Anthony Barile, an owner of Three of Cups, which opened on First Avenue at Fifth Street in December 1992, announced on Facebook last night that the pizzeria and Italian restaurant — along with the Three of Cups Lounge — will close after service on April 1.
The day has come where I must share the sad news that Three of Cups will be closing. I’ve thought often about what I might say when this day came and each time I pushed the thought from my head, but here we are.

I am thankful to all the fine people that have worked with us to make it happen everyday, without them it never would have. There are too many to list here, but if you know Three of Cups, you know them too. I wish them the best of what life has to offer.
Our customers are the best, so many loyal souls over so many years. Without you we’re obviously not here all these years. Our staff and customers made Three of Cups what it was.
Three of Cups has always been a home for the unique souls of the East Village.
I’ve learned so much from all these people; staff and customers alike, and I’m grateful I had that opportunity.
So many fun, heartwarming and crazy times shared with friends, family, customers and staff! It’s the end of an era and it will all be greatly missed.
I want to acknowledge my long time partner and dear friend, Santo Fazio who all those years ago brought me along for this crazy trip, I love him for that.
Please come by before we close the doors for good, we’ll share a drink and toast to the good times. Our last day will be Sunday, April 1.
Last June, Three of Cups posted news that they had secured a new lease.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the owners of Emmy Squared were on the CB3-SLA docket for a new liquor license for the Three of Cups space. (A PDF of their questionnaire is here.) A CB3 flyer had been posted in the window...
Eater reported in December that Emmy Squared, the Williamsburg-based restaurant serving burgers and Detroit-style pizza, was taking over the GG's space on Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. It's not clear if the Emmy team will still be taking this space, which remains dormant since GG's closed on Dec. 23.
Back on First Avenue, the retail condominium space at No. 83-85 had been on the market for $5.4 million.
