Temporary Closings

Ponzu Is About to Get a Gastropub Makeover

Call it a sign of the times: Dated, pan-Asian fusion restaurant Ponzu near Union Square is about to receive a redesign and rebranding as a gastropub. An anonymous source revealed that the change is coming within a few months, and that Ponzu will likely shutter temporarily for the renovations. Design will come from The Puccini Group and Kimpton Restaurant Group will remain the owners of the unnamed, more 2010-trendy establishment, which should open by early fall.
