Here is a picture I took in March, 2007, from inside one of the phone booths in the basement of the UBS Building at Rockefeller Center. That is a reflection of my hand on the right, but I know not the identity of the man 3 booths down.
See more of these phone booths here.
These were, to the best of my knowledge, the last of the Rockefeller Center phone booths. They were removed in early 2009. A number of payphones survive in the underground maze of Rockefeller Center, but the booths are gone.
There also used to be phone booths here, near the entrance to the “Today” show, but they also disappeared.
