I'd alwats thunk that Paul's was made up by the b=boys, not ever a real place.
Ludlow and Rivngton is the site of the cover shoot, hoev. And the sign and place is gone now anyway. Check:
The cover folds out to show an (almost) 360° panoramic view as seen from the corner of Ludlow and Rivington streets. As can be seen by the keen eye in the cover and sleeve art, the address that is supposed to be 'Paul's Boutique' (but can clearly be identified as Lee's Sportswear by the top sign) is on [1]99 Rivington St., where Rivington intersects Ludlow in New York City's Lower East Side. The 'Paul's Boutique' sign was hung on the building specifically for the cover photo shoot. Until early 2007, in this building was an eatery named 'Paul's Boutique' in honor of the album. It is now called 'Three Monkeys' and a new bar has opened across the street, called 'Spitzer's Corner.'
