The area code in Manhattan is 212. I'm not sure where the 215 came from. The Hotel Pennsylvania's phone number is 212-736-5000. The phone number in longest continuous use in New York. The hotel was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad and opened in 1919, across the street from Pennsylvania (Penn) Station. It is located at 401 Seventh Avenue, across Madison Square Garden (which is above the new Penn Station).

Numbers I've got by the dozen
Everyone's uncle and cousin
But I can't live without buzzin'
Pennsylvania Six, Five Thousand
I've got a sweety I know there
Someone who sets me aglow there
Gives me the sweetest "hello there"
Pennsylvania Six, Five Thousand
We don't say "how are you"
And very seldom ask "what's new?"
Instead we start and end each call with
"Baby confidentially I love you"
Maybe it sounds a bit funny
When I'm away from my honey
Here's what I do with my money
Pennsylvania Six, Five Thousand

If they had played this version tonight I would have been out danced at the old gangster jazz literal cave I attend.

As much as I love the Andrew Sisters, I feel like Glenn Millers mostly instrumental version of this song is better.
