This year marks the 25th anniversary of Paul's** Boutique, the Beastie Boys' adored sophomore LP. Nowadays, the corner of Rivington and Ludlow in New York City hardly resembles the snapshot immortalized on the album's cover art – but that's all set to change beginning tomorrow. According to Rolling Stone, the current owner of the Manhattan storefront on the album cover has agreed to showcase a mural paying tribute to the Beasties album.
Artist Danielle Mastrion has been tapped to paint the iconic tableau, which will grace the outside wall of Wolfnights (a sandwich shop currently occupying the space where the cover's Lee's Sportswear once stood), Rolling Stone reports. She will begin working at 11 A.M. Eastern.
LeRoy McCarthy – an admirer of the rap group who previously and unsuccessfully petitioned the local community board to co-name the intersection Beastie Boys Square – spearheaded the mural, according to Brokelyn.
Last year, a park in Brooklyn Heights was renamed Adam Yauch Park.
