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:
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“It makes worries like what you wear today seem stupid.”
—Rebecca Neel (b. c. 1981)
“In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he’d have a talk show.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
