"Bywater Brew Pub is the latest New Orleans restaurant to shut down operations for the entire summer in hopes of enduring beyond the season. It will take an extended pause beginning July 1, father-son owners Nahum and Dylan Laventhal announced on Instagram this week. Doors will not remain totally closed, however — the brewery will continue to host occasional pop-ups, which have most recently included Chance in Hell SnoBalls (while they get their new permanent shop set up) and Lunch, a new Tuscan schiacciata sandwich pop-up. 'Our plans beyond this summer are in flux, so stay tuned,' Laventhal wrote in the post." - Clair Lorell
