Muldoon’s, a good Irish bar in Midtown with a mean burger, has something else: a functioning pay phone complete with the old Bell Atlantic logo. There’s even a Yellow Pages thrown in for good measure. #bars #nyc #phones #payphoneography
A Bell Atlantic-branded pay phone survives at Pete’s Tavern, appropriate given that this bar, dating to 1864, is among NYC’s most historic. Bell Atlantic was founded in 1984, merged with NYNEX in New York in 1997, and operated under the Bell brand in NYC for three short years until becoming Verizon in 2000. Oh, and guess what? The phone doesn’t work. #phone #payphone #payphoneography
London calling! A British phone booth, complete with tweedy if creepy mannequin, is beached on Broadway in Tarrytown, N.Y. It’s actually been there for years. Now it’s about as useful as a traditional payphone, and is an equal source of curiosity. #payphoneography #tweed #mannequin #tarrytown #phonebooth #phones #britain #london #british
