New York City will formally rename the intersection of Ludlow and Rivington as “Beastie Boys Square” on September 9th, in honor of the hip-hop group.<\/p>\n
Last July, the New York City Council approved the renaming of the southwest corner of Ludlow and Rivington as Beastie Boys Square in honor of the Paul’s Boutique<\/i> album artwork being photographed there. <\/p>\n
Surviving members Mike Diamond<\/b> (Mike D) and Adam Horovitz<\/b> (Ad-Rock) will attend the dedication ceremony, which will take place beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
Paul’s Boutique<\/i>, Beastie Boys’ second studio album, was released on July 25, 1989, by Capitol Records. <\/p>\n
Following Adam “MCA” Yauch<\/b>‘s passing in 2012, fans launched a campaign to rename the intersection in honor of the group. <\/p>\n
