Queensboro Correctional Facility. 47-04 Van Dam Street. March, 2012.
This prison payphone had no dial tone when I picked it up in March, 2012.

(212) 586-4751. Outside Natsumi, 226 West 50th Street. Across from "Circle in the Square", where I saw "Godspell". January, 2012.

(718) 729-9635. Queensboro Plaza N/Q/7 Subway Station. January, 2012.
(718) 429-1636. 64th Street and Woodside Avenue in Woodside, Queens.
This payphone still stands outside the site of the former New Vision Church at 64-01 Woodside Avenue. About half the touch-tone buttons on this payphone did not work when I tried it in March, 2012. I was nevertheless able to divine its phone number: (718) 429-1636.
The Shops at Atlas Park. Glendale, Queens. (718) 326-1795, (718) 326-7276
There are two payphones, including one TTY, at the Shops at Atlas Park. Neither phone had a dial tone when I picked them up. The numbers displayed on these phones are (718) 326-7276 and (718) 326-1795, but attempts to call them return a message that the numbers have been disconnected. I spotted these on a Monday afternoon in March, 2012. The Shops at Atlas Park felt like a ghost town when I was there, but I guess a Monday afternoon would not be the busiest time of the week for this oddly-located mall.

The best-maintained of the emergency call boxes, such as this one, cut quite a stately and even beautiful profile.
Ironically, a fire engine approached just as I took this photo.
Ironically, a fire engine approached just as I took this photo at 58th Street and 5th Avenue. Needless to say the FDNY truck seen at the right of this photo was not responding to a call made from this useless, gutted out call box.

This is the first time I noticed that the call boxes bear the brand name of Norelco.
This is the first time I noticed that the call boxes bear the brand name of Norelco. Electric razors and emergency call boxes make for a somewhat eccentric product line.
SORRY! Temporarily OUT OF SERVICE.
I like how the clip art on this sticker includes the image of a rotary dial payphone. Does this sticker date from the 1980s? Has this payphone been out of service that long?
Face In the Payphone
I see a face in this decimated payphone.
Someone Left a Fork
I don't suppose anyone was thinking of eating this payphone, were they? Maybe this was someone's way of saying "Stick a fork in it."
False Advertising
Signs like this rise up across the country, advertising public telephones which do not exist.
Payphone Innards
Someone did a pretty lousy job of dismantling this payphone. None of these wires and innards should be sitting here exposed on a public street.
Coin Return
The coin return slot appears to be suspended in mid-motion.
Wad of Paper Where the Money Used To Be
This compartment used to hold coins that were used to feed conversations made from this abandoned payphone.
WARNING. DO NOT PUSH.
Abandoned Red Payphone
(718) 786-7067. Curbside Public Payphone. Queens.
This is my favorite type of payphone: On the curb. Almost on the street. In traffic. This public pay telephone is public in more ways than one. Read More at PayphoneNews.com.
Van Dam Diner Payphone, 2009
Google's Streetview shows that in 2009 another payphone stood outside the Van Dam Diner. Not only that but someone was actually using it!
