Beastie Boys will be honored with their own street name in New York City’s Lower East Side after an initial proposal was rejected in[2014](https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140129/lower-east-side/beastie-boys-square-street-naming-rejected-by-community-board/). The renewed application was approved by the New York City Council, which has ‘voted to officially bestow the name “[Beastie Boys](https://variety.com/t/beastie-boys/) Square” upon the intersection of Ludlow Street and Rivington Street in New York City,’ [according](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/beastie-boys-sqaure-new-york-city-1235318451/) to Variety.  The council member [said](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/beastie-boys-sqaure-new-york-city-1235318451/) the bill will be called up for a vote in several weeks, and then it will be passed subsequently. At the moment, the bill is awaiting the signature of Mayor Eric Adams. The corner that is to be renamed was popularized by the rap trio’s 1989 album, ‘Paul’s Boutique’.  Variety [reported](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/beastie-boys-sqaure-new-york-city-1235318451/): “Council member Christopher Marte confirmed in an interview with local news channel[Pix11](https://pix11.com/news/local-news/manhattan/beastie-boys-square-approved-for-lower-east-side/) that the effort, which had been pushing for the official dedication for “about nine years,” had officially achieved its goal.” [https://www.thefader.com/2022/07/18/pauls-boutique-corner-renamed-beastie-boys-square?utm_source=tftw](https://www.thefader.com/2022/07/18/pauls-boutique-corner-renamed-beastie-boys-square?utm_source=tftw) *The corner of Ludlow Street and Rivington Street on the cover of *Paul’s Boutique* (1989) and today.   Wikimedia Commons / Google Street View* *(Image via [Fader](https://www.thefader.com/2022/07/18/pauls-boutique-corner-renamed-beastie-boys-square?utm_source=tftw))* “As many of us know, once the Beastie Boys hit the scene, it really changed the hip-hop game,” council member Christopher Marte [said](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/beastie-boys-sqaure-new-york-city-1235318451/). “I see it as a celebration. A celebration for the Lower East Side, a celebration for hip-hop, and especially a celebration for our community who has been organizing for a really long time to make this happen,” Marte [stated](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/beastie-boys-sqaure-new-york-city-1235318451/) according to local outlet[PIX11](https://pix11.com/news/local-news/manhattan/beastie-boys-square-approved-for-lower-east-side/).  ##### You May Also Read: [6 Mainstream Artists Who Went Viral on TikTok First](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2022/07/19/5-mainstream-artists-who-went-viral-on-tiktok-first) The ‘Beastie Boys Square’ will honor the group and its members Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz, and the late Adam “MCA” Yauch.
