LUDLOW STREET HISTORY LOWER EAST SIDE MANHATTAN - KATZ'S DELI

In Manhattan today for a history tour of Ludlow Street in the Lower East Side of New York City. Where we end up at Katz's deli. Our journey begins at number 56 Ludlow St. where the group The Velvet Underground was formed. John Cale, Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison recorded a demo session in this apartment that became the foundation for the critically acclaimed album "The Velvet Underground & Nico" We stop to take a look at a couple of faded business signs and the head up to the Sochotshov Countrymen Synagogue that was built in 1920. Right next door to the Synagogue we find the old Motor City Bar, a place where old Richard Arthur spent many a drunken night. A few feet from the bar is a mural of The Beastie Boys in honor of their Paul's Boutique album cover which was photographed on that very corner. In the video I said that Pauls' Boutique was an actual store. It wasn't, it was a fictional store. The final stop on the trip takes us to Katz's Deli, known as one of the finest deli's in all of New York where every possible star you can imagine has eaten. From President's Clinton and Obama, to Mike Tyson to Leonardo DiCaprio, those are just some of the hundreds of famous people who have eaten there. The deli was also the location where the famous diner scene between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in the movie "When Harry met sally" took place. The diner also features in the movie "Donnie Brasco" where Johnny Depp is seen walking through the restaurant. Many other movies and TV shows have been filmed in the deli, far too many to list. Ludlow Street was named after Lieutenant Augustus Ludlow, the naval officer who was second-in-command to Captain James Lawrence on the USS Chesapeake during the ship’s engagement with HMS Shannon on June 1, 1813. It was to Ludlow that Lawrence said "Don't give up the ship." The land that is now Ludlow Street was once part of the huge De Lancey Estate, which had been confiscated from James De Lancey after the Revolutionary War, due to his status as a Loyalist, and auctioned off. By the early 19th century, speculative builders had constructed decent housing for workers on Ludlow Street, as well as other streets nearby, such as Eldridge, Forsyth and Chrystie Streets. At mid-century, Ludlow was in the middle of Kleindeutschland, where large numbers of German-speaking immigrants had settled, and was one of the informal boundaries of the Jewish section of the neighborhood, along with Grand, Stanton, and Pitt Streets. As far back as 1962 Theatre of Eternal Music members Tony Conrad and Angus MacLise lived and worked at 56 Ludlow and in 1965 Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison of The Velvet Underground lived and recorded there. The earliest known recorded version of All Tomorrow's Parties was recorded there. Other filmmakers, performers, poets, artists and musicians that lived in the building at the time included Warhol superstars Mario Montez and Jack Smith. Tony Conrad has produced two CDs from the Jack Smith tape archives subtitled 56 Ludlow Street that were recorded at 56 Ludlow Street between 1962 and 1964. In the mid-1970s Gary Weis made some short films of Taylor Mead talking to his cat in the kitchen of his Ludlow Street apartment called Taylor Mead's Cat. From 1980 to the mid-80s actor/videomaker Craig Calman lived in the building adjoining Taylor Mead's. An excerpt from Tyler Hubby's film Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present documents Tony Conrad making a field recording on Ludlow Street. In the early 1980s, Ludlow Street was well known as a street where no wave Colab artists connected with ABC No Rio lived; such as Kiki Smith, Fab Five Freddy, Coleen Fitzgibbon, Tom Otterness, Wolfgang Staehle, Steven Parrino, Joseph Nechvatal, Peter Fend, Walter Robinson, Aline Mare, George Condo and art critic Carlo McCormick. In 1980, Coleen Fitzgibbon made a video called Ludlow about Ludlow Street. From 1983 to 1989, the bimonthly cassette publication Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine was based out of 143 Ludlow Street. Leonard Abrams started the East Village Eye cultural magazine at 167 Ludlow Street. In 1989 the Beastie Boys used a photo of the southwest corner of Ludlow and Rivington Street as the cover for their album Paul's Boutique. In 2015, Mitch Corber created a short documentary video called Ludlow Street with Clayton that features Clayton Patterson walking down the street, discussing its cultural demise due to gentrification. Wolfgang Staehle presented an extended digital photographic record of Ludlow Street in his exhibition at Postmasters Gallery in 2016/2017. From 2004 to 2009 the performing and visual arts space Collective:Unconscious was located at 145 Ludlow Street. In 2009, the School of Visual Arts established its Ludlow Residence at 101 Ludlow Street, which houses 350 art students. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_...)
