Today
Since then it has become a small nightlife strip featuring bars and venues with a distinct subcultural flavor. Local institutions still present, including the bistro/cafe Pink Pony, the adjacent artist bar Max Fish, Katz's Deli, which is one of the city's most famous delicatessens, Ludlow Street Guitars, Earthmatters Cafe (hangout of musicians/actors/writers/techies), newly re-opened Ludlow Studio, which was home to some of the top recording artists in the mid 1990s, and the Sombrero Mexican restaurant, better known to a generation of musicians as "The Hat." The art and cultural gallery Ludlow 38 is the downtown satellite for contemporary art of the Goethe-Institut New York. The space was designed by artists Ethan Breckenridge and Liam Gillick.
In 2005 artist Wolfgang Staehle created One day of life on Ludlow Street (New York). The work consists of 6716 images (jpgs, resolution 1200x1600) displayed in approximately 8 second intervals over 24 hours (10/07/2005). Colab activist and experimental filmmaker Coleen Fitzgibbon made in 1980 a video called Ludlow about Ludlow Street.
From south to north, Ludlow starts from Division Street, intersects Canal Street, Hester Street, Grand Street, Broome Street, Delancey Street, Rivington Street and Stanton Street, and ends at Houston Street.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Let us not be deceived—we are today in the midst of a cold war.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
“Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
