Oh wow, I loved this place, for as often as I rambled past it and got a grilled cheese & bacon sammich. It is, or was, located at the only truck stop in the five boroughs of New York.

The phone booth used in the famous “Tommy Got Whacked” scene in GoodFellas was probably just a prop, but whatever its status at the time no booth has been present in these modern days.
