Ask anyone who was over the age of four in 1963 and they will tell you precisely where they were when President Kennedy was assassinated. Considered the demise of our collective innocence, this seminal event reverberated out from Dallas worldwide and marked the end of an American era.
The changeling 60s took hold, pulsing with new ideas and breathing life into the staid, status quo. The Vietnam War raged on, women banned the bra and radios everywhere were jolted awake by the British Invasion. Nowhere was 1960s energy felt more acutely than in New York, a city as iconic as the decade shaping it. 1960s New York was supercharged with daily, larger-than-life happenings. These five, among many others, were unforgettable.
