"Born in Chicago and co‑founded by a Tulane grad, Emporium Arcade Bar is opening a seventh New Orleans location next month at 2231 St. Claude Avenue; since Danny and Doug Marks opened the first Emporium in 2012, the Chicago, Bay Area, and Las Vegas outposts have drawn steady crowds of 20‑somethings for arcade games, pinball, skee‑ball, pool tables, and more, alongside an extensive selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. Danny Marks—who played gigs in the neighborhood while at Tulane—chose the former Art Market in St. Roch in part because of the area's artistic foundation, and he plans to build on that with additional work by local artists." - Clair Lorell
