‘Theory of Gaia’ Boutique Pops Up at 174 Ludlow Street
Posted March 3, 2016 at 5:14 am
Ever since Daredevil Tattoo was forced southward from its longtime perch three years ago, the landlord of 174 Ludlow Street (Arwen Equities) has been content with warehousing and turnover. Naturally.

‘Colfax and Bale’ Will Soon Bring Streetwear and Urban Vibes to 174 Ludlow Street
Posted August 21, 2014 at 6:09 am
Colfax and Bale sounds more like a high-end department store or maybe one of those law firms advertised on the subway. Far from it, though. It’s actually the name of a new street-style apparel store opening at 174 Ludlow Street. For the last year, 174 Ludlow had been a vacancy, with its security gate perpetually shuttered. […]

The upper section of Ludlow Street is losing all its character, and in quick succession. A total bloodbath.
