Many say it was about time that the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” came to the Big Apple. So, it’s official, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will open a New York annex in November. According to The New York Times, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced Wednesday that the Cleveland–based museum would have a New York annex where people will be able to see Billy Joel’s lyrics notebook for “The Stranger,” Bruce Springsteen’s first car and other items which will surely attract fans.

“This is where Ed Sullivan met the Beatles, where Lou Reed took a walk on the wild side,” said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.

The 25,000-square-foot building will be at 76 Mercer Street in SoHo and it will be the museum’s first expansion outside the original location Cleveland. Joel Peresman, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation's president and chief executive, said that the annex will also have temporary and traveling exhibitions from Cleveland.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was settled in Cleveland in 1983 by a group of music industry executives. The reasons for the location were the fact the Alan Freed began using the term “rock’n’roll” while he was in Cleveland and also the fact that there were many rock fans there.

Even if, at its opening, the museum drew 872,700 visitors, last year it only attracted 451,000 people. Terry Stewart, the president of the museum said that this new annex was meant to increase the museum’s visibility.

The ability to establish these outposts in other cities allows us to join the ranks of other famous not-for-profit institutions and museums like New York’s Guggenheim, the U.K.’s Tate and the Louvre out of Paris,” said Terry Stewart, according to The New York Times.

The New York annex will be operated by Running Subway, those who produces the “Bodies” exhibit at South Street Seaport.
