In recent weeks, readers have been sending me photos of extant wooden phone booths like crazy. And I couldn't be happier. This one is in the Yale Club in midtown Manhattan. The door has been taken off. Next to it is another booth with the phone missing. The reader said he saw someone sitting in this booth working on their iPad. See: they still have a use!
Yes they still have a use. Workspaces such as Grind and AlleyNYC incorporate phonebooth-size spaces for making calls. Unfortunately no real phonebooths, tho—more like windowed closets.
