It was an Irish goodbye.

ABC News has officially left its old digs on the Upper West Side and Times Square — and marked the occasion with some rowdy celebrations appropriate for the Crossroads of the World.

On Friday, the network’s flagship show “Good Morning America” taped its final show at Times Square Studios, the set its called home for the past 26 years, making it the last ABC program to make the move to their shiny new studio downtown.

The show’s favorite neighborhood Irish pub, O’Donoghue’s, opened two hours early, at 9 a.m., so the “GMA” crew including Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulus and Michael Strahan, could toast their last day. We hear the trio spearheaded the hoorah and that they all celebrated with a well-balanced diet of nachos, wings, and booze.

“There were lots of cheers-ing, glasses clinking, and a couple of shots,” a source told Page Six. We hear the show’s leader, senior executive producer Simone Swink, stood on a chair to toast her team.

The “GMA” anchors all gave speeches with Stephanopoulus leading the charge. “I’m going to miss Times Square. It has been a tremendous neighborhood for all of us the last 20-something years,” he said.

Roberts followed with an optimistic view of their move, telling everyone, “Just think about all the exciting new memories that we’re going to make together.”

Strahan added, “We couldn’t replace any of you, so, we’re happy that you’re going with us. And you’re bringing the spirit of everything that we have here, downtown.”

The bash also turned into a retirement party for head stagehand and prop master, Gary Minor, who announced his retirement after 37 years at the show. “There were definitely tears saying goodbye to Gary,” a source said.

And even though the move from Times Square is bittersweert, the “GMA” gang is looking forward to putting Hudson Square on the map. We hear they have plans to film all over the neighborhood and throughout their new building to lure viewers in.

Superstar Alicia Keys and her Broadway show “Hells Kitchen” were the last “GMA” guests to appear in the studio.

Diane Sawyer will christen the new space when she brings her exclusive interview with Eric Dane to their new couch on Monday. Marcus Samuelsson, Anthony Ramos, Caroline Rhea and Keke Palmer are also slated as guests next week.

The Good Morning America co-anchors are marking the end of an era in style. 

On Friday, June 13, the ABC morning show celebrated the final day in its Times Square studio before relocating to the Robert A. Iger building, which is Walt Disney Company’s New York City headquarters 7 Hudson Square in Manhattan. Meteorologist Ginger Zee chose to spend her final broadcast bringing back a piece of her fashion history. 

Posting side-by-side photos, Zee, 44, rewore the colorblock dress she’s sported since her beginnings at GMA back in 2012. 

“Left 2012, Right today,” Zee captioned the post, adding, “I started here in fall 2011. But this summer dress has been with me the whole time. Farewell Times Square and looking forward to new memories in Hudson Square – this dress is coming with me #nonewclothes @samwnek.”

After finishing the final broadcast, Zee changed into more casual clothes to pack up. 

“Bye bye to my dressing room,” the weatherwoman wrote on her Instagram Stories.

The June 13 broadcast was the show’s last in the Times Square location after 26 years. The show first broadcast from the Times Square location in September 1999. Prior to that, GMA aired at the ABC News headquarters, where it first premiered in 1975.

For the final show, GMA featured an appearance from Alicia Keys and a performance from the cast of her Broadway show Hell’s Kitchen.

“It’s a celebration,” Keys said about the opportunity to appear on the show again for what GMA co-anchor Lara Spencer referred to as GMA’s “last bow” in Times Square. The cast of Hell’s Kitchen belted out a medley of classic hits “Girl on Fire” and “No One,” delivering vocals and emotions.

Zee has been through a series of highs and lows during her time on GMA. She and her husband Ben Aaron welcomed their sons Adrian, 9, and Miles, 7. She also got candid about her battle with depression in 2017, sharing she was suicidal at the age of 21. 

She previously opened up about checking into a mental health facility 10 days before her move to New York to start on GMA. 

“I was in this place where I knew my personal life could affect this outstanding job and opportunity that I had,” she previously told PEOPLE. “For the first time in a long time, I wanted to live and I knew that.”

While there, she met a therapist who “changed everything” — and has been working with him ever since.
