French Bar and restaurant. From NOLA.com article. "When I opened the gate, it was like pulling aside the curtain on a play. An old Citroen car sits outside. A wide gravel patio surrounds the building. The bar glows like a gas lantern, beckoning you inside. Named for the highway that carries Parisians south for summer holidays, N7 used to be tire shop. Before that, at an unknown but remote date, it was a stable." http://www.nola.com/dining/index.ssf/2016/01/n7_bywater_new_orleans_new_res.html http://nola.eater.com/2016/1/21/10807172/new-new-orleans-bar-n7-photos#0
