Ludlow Street's iconic Kleen-Stik Industries becomes a cantina

Between Stanton and Rivington at 139-141 Ludlow, at the site of the Kleen-Stik Industries, Inc.

Oh, sorry...This is just a prop set for filming the TV series Cupid today. But don't give anyone any stupid ideas!




In October, our friend BoweryBoogie reported that the beloved graffiti exterior of the building had been cleaned. Perhaps this is why...for the film shoot?

Why the East Village will be a mess tonight and tomorrow

Hmm, there's an ABC show called Cupid (rhymes with stupid) in the works. (Get this: It's an update of the short-lived 1998 series by the same name. Are they so desperate in TVLand that they have to ransack shows that just aired 10 years ago?) From the looks of the parking restrictions starting tonight and lasting through Wednesday, only half the neighborhood should be inconvenienced by this! Hope they bring helicopters!
