Phone booths: not quite dead yet

A local film location scout has posted about what appear to be Manhattan’s last four public telephone booths.
The classic-style outdoor booths are all on West End Avenue, on the corners of 101st, 100th, 90th, and 66th streets. They even appear to be in good repair and working order; something which could not have been taken for granted even when phone booths were ubiquitous.
The Payphone Project also boasts a nice series of photographs of the booths.
Hypothetically speaking, if we were to set up a field trip one of these weekends to visit, use, and photograph the living heck out of these, would you be into it? Let us know; if enough of you express interest, we’ll make it happen.
