Beastie Boys mural being painted at Paul's Boutique corner

Beastie Boys

The Beastie Boys‘ classic sophomore album, Paul’s Boutique, turns 25 today (7/25), and though the LES corner of Ludlow and Rivington where the album cover’s artwork was shot isn’t being renamed “Beastie Boys Square,” in honor of the anniversary, the current owner of the storefront at that location will have a Beasties mural made. Rolling Stone reports that this Saturday (7/26) at 11 AM, artist Danielle Mastrion will begin painting the mural on the wall of Wolfnights, the sandwich shop at that corner. LeRoy McCarthy, who had launched the “Beastie Boys Square” campaign, spearheaded this project too.

In related Beastie Boys, Paul’s Boutique and sandwich shop news, Ricky Powell was spotted making birthday dreams come true at Brancaccio’s Food Shop in Windsor Terrace yesterday (true story).
