History
Hi! My name is Aaron Ho. Along with my life-long friend, Edward Wong, we brought our dreams of opening a game hall to fruition when we opened our doors in October 2020. The Lower East Side is very personal to me. I was born and raised in the 80s right on Kenmare street. My parents came over to the United States from Hong Kong in the 1970s. My papa worked low paying jobs in warehouses and restaurants, and my mom worked in factories and sweatshops. My success is a product of all the charm and diversity that the Lower East Side has to offer. The religion, foods, and culture lead to understanding and acceptance. I was lucky enough to attend St. Patrick Cathedral school since pre-K and I think that really built a foundation for me. I eventually went to obtain my PHD in criminal justice. Many immigrants come to the Lower East Side with nothing and become someone. I like to think that the Lower east side is a place of upward escalation and I think I'm living proof of this.
