Though the world has changed, Remy is a creature of habit if he's allowed, so he still sticks to familiar haunts when he's able. Stigmata is a habit because it's a constant, even though it itself changes - sometimes there's things in there that aren't there the day before, or after.
Today there's a pool table, for example. Remy doesn't remember a pool table ever being in here before, but - whatever. He's content enough to screw around with it, drink resting on the edge, shaking the rust off his memory of the game. A con man never forgets how to roll billiards, it's like riding a bike; it's just been a while, is all.
