In February 1964, the Beatles made their first trip to the United States, igniting Beatlemania stateside from New York to Miami. Fifty years later, hotels the band visited then are marking the anniversary in ways small and large.
In the token-nod department, the Plaza in New York, where the quartet stayed, will shake up three Beatles-themed cocktails including Strawberry Fields and Drive My Side Car.
On a larger scale, the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami, where the Beatles taped their second appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," will pay homage with concerts by a Beatles cover band called 1964 The Tribute on Feb. 15 and 16 (tickets $64). Andy Babiuk, author of the book "Beatles Gear," will warm up the audience for the Saturday night show with a lecture that will include rare photos and outtake audio clips (admission $15).
No one at the hotel currently was around 50 years ago when fans mobbed Collins Avenue, but one South Florida resident, Bob Saxon, was 17 at the time and, along with two friends, sneaked in through the kitchen door.
"Ed Sullivan came out before the broadcast and told the screaming masses that when the Beatles were to be brought out the more he raised his hands and asked for the crowd to quiet down, the louder he wanted us all to scream," he wrote in an email. "When the Beatles finally hit the stage, the place went berserk."
