THE LAST PAYPHONE
New York City’s final city-operated public payphone left the Midtown sidewalk on May 23, 2022, ending a ritual that once made the street itself a place to call from.
On May 23, 2022, New York City removed its final city-operated public payphone from Seventh Avenue and 50th Street in Midtown Manhattan. The two-phone kiosk left the sidewalk for a museum display; the city’s public-calling ritual had already been replaced by LinkNYC kiosks offering Wi-Fi, charging, and free calls.
