Beastie Boys’ Inspiration, Paul’s Boutique Burns Down

    Brooklyn, New York Hip Hop trio the Beastie Boys named their 1989 album, Paul’s Boutique. The group’s sophomore album, and first for Capitol Records, took its name from a Lower East Manhattan thrift store. This week, the site of Paul’s Boutique, 99 Rivington Street, burned down.

    CrawDaddy.com reported that the site, now a restaurant called Three Monkeys, burned on January 20.

    The Beastie Boys have yet to comment. The album was digitally re-mastered and re-released by Capitol Records in 2008.
