"The sign outside of Marigny corner bar Lost Love Lounge came down in September, with owner Muriel Altikriti confirming its closure shortly after. It will be remembered as a true neighborhood bar — dark and lounge-y, with huge screens in both of its rooms, playing anything from football to old movies, and a kitchen that, despite frequently changing hands, always seemed to pump out solid food ranging from Vietnamese to Mexican to cheesesteaks. Altikriti’s equally-loved Arabi bar, Pirogue’s Whiskey Bayou, remains open." - Clair Lorell
