We met the Beatles in Manhattan!

You can spot all sorts of famous faces on the streets of New York. Even the Fab Four.

On our school vacation we took a quick midweek trip to New York City.

The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Times Square, Macy’s shoe department—we hit some famous places. On our walk through Lincoln Center Plaza we spied four famous faces—The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts had a fantastic exhibit commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ introduction to America.

There were lots of photographs, handwritten song lyrics, ticket stubs, posters, gold records, stage costumes, you name it.

Like the bass drum that Ringo played on the Ed Sullivan show. I saw that show. I was five years old. I couldn’t understand what all those girls were screaming about.

Ooooh! Ringo played this drum! SCREAM!!!

And there was an entire wall of consumer stuff cannily marketed to all those shrieking fans.

-See the Beatles stuff!>
