A few more details about the new Emmy Squared
Emmy Squared opened last Saturday evening at 83 First Ave. at Fifth Street.
Reps for the Williamsburg-based pizzeria shared some specifics about this location — their third — via email the other day:
The all-day menu features signature dishes from Emmy Squared's Williamsburg and Nashville locations, such as Broccoli Salad with broccoli, radish, pear, dried cherries, peanuts + miso-soy dressing, Spicy Chicken sandwich with salsa pico, pickles, radish, bok choy + homemade ranch and [chef Matt] Hyland’s eponymous burger, Le Big Matt.
A combination of the restaurant’s red and white pies are joined by new selections exclusive to the East Village spot, like the New Orleans-inspired Emmyletta with mortadella, Ezzo pepperoni + olive salad and Curry Row with onions, peppers and cauliflower tossed in Brooklyn Delhi achaar alongside dipping chutneys, an ode to “Curry Row” on the neighboring 6th Street and Hyland’s love for Indian cuisine.
Open first for dinner with lunch service in coming weeks, the bi-level space accommodates over 100 guests upstairs and 30 guests downstairs ... The bar on the second level will open later in August.
Open Tuesday – Sunday; Closed Mondays.
Tuesday + Wednesday 5 pm – 11 pm.
Thursday – Saturday 5 pm – midnight.
Sunday 5 pm – 10 pm.
You can find Emmy Squared menu here.

Young hawk flies the nest
One of Amelia and Christo’s two red-tailed hawk chicks in Tompkins Square Park fledged the nest yesterday afternoon (2:02 p.m., per a hawk watcher on the scene)... Steven caught up with the fledgling at St Brigid's on Eighth Street and Avenue B late in the afternoon...
The fledging ended up flying across Eighth Street and perching on a fire escape... where Steven spotted her/him this morning.
Head over to Goggla's site for a complete narrative and many more photos.

Friday's parting shot(s)
Shawn Chittle shared these photos from an early-morning walk today through a very empty Tompkins Square Park ...
Noted
Paul Kostabi checks in with these photos of this Urban Etiquette Car Sign from over on Fifth Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square...
According to the multiple notes on the car... the note leaver alleges that the driver of the car hit his motorcycle. Accusations ensue.
Per the note:
"Based on the condition of your car and the way you parked, you are a bad driver on top of being an inconsiderate selfish asshole. I have filed a police report and you will be hearing from my insurance company!
Have a nice day!"
Up close and 'Personal'
Here's Escape-ism (starring Ian Svenonius) with the new track "Nothing Personal" ... from a record coming out this September on Merge.
This block of St. Mark's Place lost 2 trees this week
[Photo Wednesday by Steven]
On Wednesday, crews cut down the Callery pear tree from outside 26 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. The day before, a large branch fell from the tree, narrowly missing several nearby pedestrians and vehicles.
This wasn't the only tree lost on this block this week ... on Sunday morning, we saw that this young tree had been uprooted from outside 3-5 St. Mark's Place...
Not sure what happened... in any event, someone removed this tree on Wednesday...
Reiminders tonight: Films on the Green in Tompkins Square Park

Hello humans of Tompkins Square Park
Amelia and Christo's two offspring are getting more active by the hour ... leaving their nest in Tompkins Square Park to test their wings (branching) ... Goggla shared the top photo, showing just how large the hawk chicks are getting (this is what happens when you eat rats every day...)
Goggla figures it could be fledge time for the two at any moment. Head over to Goggla's for more photos of the hawklets as well as a narrative on the latest hawk developments.
Meanwhile, Steven shared these photos of the parents enjoying a nest break atop St. Nicholas on 10th Street and Avenue A late Wednesday afternoon... that's Amelia taking flight...
