BAY RIDGE — It’s closing time for another Bay Ridge eatery: Emphasis Restaurant Cafe, located at 6822 Fourth Ave., permanently closed on Friday, Jan. 9.
The owners made the news official on a note posted on the restaurant’s window.
“After 21 wonderful years, it is with great sadness to announce that the Emphasis Diner will be closing its doors for good on Jan. 9,” the letter stated. “It has been our pleasure to serve our wonderful customers these last two decades. We thank you for your support, your smiles and your appetite. You have turned this restaurant into a second home for us, and for that, we are eternally grateful. The decision to close was not easy, but as we look toward retirement, we know it’s the right time to begin a new chapter. With love and appreciation, Gus and Dino.”…
