I remember in NYC, I think once my dad's phone either ran out of battery or forgot to bring it... so he used the payphones, and the conversation had to be quick because otherwise you gotta put in more quarters. I think it was just to know where to meet up or something, cuz we lived in Brooklyn and some of our relatives were in Manhattan, and so we'd just meet like every so often especially like holidays. I remember being in that Chinese Restaunt near Canal St... like often.
