Third Street turning into entertainment district

Another project in the works shows Third Street is returning to its roots as a retail road in downtown. Mike Polito of MAPP Construction says he's negotiating with a New Orleans bar owner to put a martini lounge in the Belisle Building, which his firm bought for its corporate headquarters from Bob Dean. MAPP is adding about 7,000 square feet to the 10,500-square-foot building. Polito says about half the first floor -- 1,500 square feet -- is for retail and an undisclosed bar owner is likely to take the space. Other entertainment destinations that have landed on Third in the past year include Happy's Irish Pub, The Inferno Room and Rasputin's. The Wine Loft, long promised, is also set to open soon on Third and Laurel Street.
