It's officially out with the old, and in with the new for NYC ... cause the Big Apple's last public payphone booth is unplugged.
Officials removed the historic gem Monday morning - located on 7th Ave. and 50th St. in Midtown Manhattan - and it was truly the last of its kind.
And, just like that, no one will be asking for a dime to make a phone call anymore. This marks the end of the New York City public payphone era.

Somewhere in NY, they are leaving a set of real booth phones up, calling it the Superman... something. Afterall, Superman needs a place for a quick change of clothes.
Yes, he sure does!
It's hard to imagine how many times we used these phones without blinking an eye ... and many germs must of been on it.
