NEW YORK — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is going on the road to New Yorkthe city that spawned hip-hop and gave Bob Dylan and the Ramones their start.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, left with Billy Joel, announced Wednesday that the Cleveland-based museum is opening an annex in downtown Manhattan.

It is the first of several planned outposts that will take its collection to a wider audience.

Joel and Clive Davis joined the mayor in SoHo, where the branch will open in November. The 25,000-square-foot annex will house Bruce Springsteen’s 1957 Chevy and will feature a number of different exhibits, including one with sites around the city that have musical significance.
