On a local level, the milestone is apt, since the cover photo featured the southwest corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets. The spot that a one-man army is trying to co-name Beastie Boys Square. Far from a sure shot, […]

Posted April 29, 2019 at 5:06 am
Here is the new face (or, faces) of what may eventually become “Beastie Boys Square.” Street artist Danielle Mastrion, who’s painted the rap trio several times since Adam Yauch (MCA) passed away in 2012, reprised her role over the weekend outside Wolfnights on Ludlow Street. The mural is likely an attempt to refocus attention on […]

Last modified May 22, 2017 at 7:27 am
Hold it now, the Beastie Boys mural on Ludlow Street is updated. Danielle Mastrion, the street artist who painted the original artwork on the Wolfnights facade three years ago, was tapped for an encore this weekend.

Far from a Sure Shot, ‘Beastie Boys Square’ Continues to Apply Pressure
Posted April 6, 2017 at 5:05 am
He can’t, won’t, and don’t stop. That would be LeRoy McCarthy and his bid to transform the southwest corner of Rivington and Ludlow Streets into Beastie Boys Square. To mark the occasion of the reinvigorated street co-naming campaign, he’s planned a party for next month (May 21) outside Wolfnights, the same address that appears on the […]

Wolfnights Closes for Renovations to Expand its Footprint
Posted April 27, 2016 at 5:18 am
Five-year-old Wolfnights closed down its corner restaurant at 99 Rivington Street for renovations this week. For real, though. Paper is in the windows and its marquee signage stripped from the exterior. The new-and-improved wrap joint should reopen, along with its nascent annex, come Friday. What’s strange about this job, however, is that the sidecar space – the […]

Wolfnights Just Expanded its Dining Room Space on Rivington Street
Posted February 23, 2016 at 5:17 am
Conceived more as a cramped takeout joint, Wolfnights is now stretching its proverbial legs. Indeed, the fast-casual wrap aficionados headquartered at 99 Rivington Street just expanded into the space directly next door. As expected. The new legroom – three high-top tables with stool seating – ultimately comes at the expense of the long-running Felix Tailor shop, which […]

Wolfnights on Rivington Street is Expanding into the Old Tailor Shop Next Door
Posted December 30, 2015 at 5:13 am
Here’s why the Felix Tailor Shop moved around the corner to the less-desirable location of 125 Allen Street. Simply put, late-night wrap aficionados Wolfnights are on the prowl, having just annexed the real estate on its western flank. The former tailor shop at 97 Rivington is now under renovation, all of a sudden; window paper and […]

Posted July 25, 2014 at 6:00 am
Since “Beastie Boys Square” didn’t happen, outspoken proponent LeRoy McCarthy has taken a different approach. Wolfnights is donating its Ludlow Street facade for a new celebratory mural. The artwork will pay tribute to both the hip-hop trio and their 1989 LP, which was released 25 years ago today. The album cover features the southwest corner […]
