Many big band names played in the Hotel Pennsylvania's Cafe Rouge Ballroom, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra; the number became the inspiration for the Glenn Miller song of the same name. In turn, this later inspired the pun title Transylvania 6-5000, used separately by a cartoon and a film. The number was requested in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, and was also referenced in a mix of the Milli Vanilli song "Baby Don't Forget My Number".
In 1969, the PE6 telephone exchange was the first in Manhattan to be transferred from panel switch to 1ESS switch, temporarily making it a significant part of New York Telephone's service crisis.
