I'm traveling to NYC soon and I'm looking for locations of where iconic album covers were shot.

Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys taken at Ludlow and Rivington comes to mind, any others?

Unfortunately, the previous owners took down the original Pauls Boutique sign that was there forever. From what I hear, they just trashed it. Sad, Sad. I live right there and everytime I walk by the place I just shake my head and think what fools.
The place is now called three monkeys, and has changed hands several times. It's pretty unrecognizable as the original Pauls Boutique. If you're interested, Moby has a tea place across the street from it.
