The telephone
number in the Glen Miller Orchestra’s hit song “Pennsylvania 6-5000” (1940)
is the number of the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. The number is now
written as 1-212-736-5000.
According to the hotel’s website, Pennsylvania
6-5000 is New York’s oldest continually assigned telephone number and
possibly the oldest continually-assigned number in the world.
