Cafe Rouge (Hotel Pennsylvania) Rouge had a big band remote connection to the NBC Radio Network and became famous for the performances held inside. Multiple artists played inside the Café - such as The Dorsey Brothers, Woody Herman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and The Andrews Sisters. Glenn Miller and his Glenn Miller Orchestra broadcast multiple live radio performances from the Café; some were recorded by RCA Victor.

The hotel's telephone number appears in the title of one of his best-known songs, "Pennsylvania 6-5000". Les Brown's
