    On the 1965 tour, part of the time we were using New York City as our base as they were performing in Boston and New Haven, etc.  We were staying in a hotel in the center of Manhattan ( I think it was around 50th street and Broadway ) After being away for awhile,  we came back to the city and as our limo driver was taking us back to the hotel he said that we had been moved further  uptown.   He said that the management of our hotel had packed up everyone’s room and moved them to the other hotel.  Further stating that the hotel found that the bell men and others in the staff were being bribed with ‘sexual favors’ from Stones’ fans to be let into our rooms and rather than fire their, almost, entire staff  they moved us under cover of night to the undisclosed location (the Lincoln Square Motor Inn).  It was here that we went through the blackout that struck NYC.

    Here’s a postcard from the hotel:
