Cafe Rouge (Hotel Pennsylvania)
The Café Rouge (as well as the rest of the interior and exterior of Hotel Pennsylvania) was designed by the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White.[1] In the late 1930s and early 1940s, The Café 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, The Andrews Sisters and Artie Shaw.Les Brown's band, with its vocalist Doris Day, introduced their song "Sentimental Journey" at the café in November of 1944.[3] In 2014, the Café Rouge was converted to an indoor basketball court known as Terminal 23, to promote the launch of the Melo M10 by the Jordan Brand division of Nike.
