An Elon Musk Space on Rivington Street?
Until 106 Rivington Street fulfills its destiny as the next Hell Square nightspot, this. A tunnel construction company?
A tipster was out front last night and snapped a few photos before security stepped in. Below a “boring” neon sign, the sparse space is occupied by something called The Boring New York Company. There is a single desk enveloped in a layer of random blueprints; a golden shovel hangs on the wall; and a single couch for guests. It promises an Elon Musk style “hyperloop” connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn and Amazon HQ2 headquarters in Long Island City.

As for 106 Rivington Street, the owner of Woodland in Park Slope took a major hit in October after Community Board 3 refused to endorse plans for a nebulous, 4am Asian fusion spot.
