Rock Daily’s tour of classic rock & roll landmarks continues with the help of Google’s endlessly entertaining Street Maps feature. In this installment, check out four places that played major roles in the history of The Beatles.

John and Yoko’s First NYC Apartment, 105 Bank Street

In 1971, after a long stay at the St. Regis Hotel, John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved into a tiny pad owned by Lovin’ Spoonful drummer Joe Butler. This was during Lennon’s most political period, and he often hosted gatherings at the apartment that drew counterculture figures like Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. Lennon also demoed much of his Some Time in New York City album in this spot. After 18 months, though, John and Yoko moved on up, to the Upper West Side apartment building called the Dakota.

The Dakota, 1 West 72nd Street

Celebrities have long flocked to this massive luxury apartment complex, which is called the Dakota because when it was built in 1897, there was so little development this far north in Manhattan that a friend of the architect said coming to the place was like going to North Dakota. Its most famous residents, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, moved there in 1973. Seven years later, on December 8, 1980, Lennon was shot and killed in the entranceway by deranged fan Mark David Chapman. As soon as the news spread, thousands of fans flooded the building, singing Beatles songs, lighting candles and crying. “When the news flash started I thought it might be Russia invading Poland,” a fan outside the Dakota told Rolling Stone, which published a special issue in tribute to Lennon. “I wish it had been.” Yoko still lives in the same apartment.

Ed Sullivan Theater, 53rd Street and Broadway

The Beatles played The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964 to an audience of 74 million. “We were aware that Ed Sullivan was the big one because we got a telegram from Elvis and the Colonel,” George Harrison later recalled. “And I’ve heard that while we were on, there were no reported crimes, or at least very few. When the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, even the criminals had a rest for ten minutes.” In 1994 David Letterman brought his show there, where it remains to this day.

The Plaza, 2 Central Park South

In February 1964, the Beatles began their American journey at the George Martin later remembered. Ten years later, the band attempted to reunite at the Plaza to sign a mountain of legal documents that would formally dissolve their partnership, but John didn’t show up. “He wouldn’t come across the park!” Paul McCartney said. “I had flown in from England, and John wouldn’t show up. George got on the phone and yelled, ’Take those fucking shades off and come over here.’ John still wouldn’t come over. He had a balloon delivered with a sign saying ‘Listen to this balloon.’ It was all quite far out.”
