Nowadays, it seems like you can’t drive anywhere without seeing one of your favorite fast-food chains set up on the nearest corner. Places we can spot from a mile away are all over the place, in cities and on highways. It doesn’t take too much looking to find a set of golden arches waiting for you somewhere in town. You might not think there’s much special about a New York McDonald’s: they’re all over the place and typically designed to be pretty standardized. But here in the Empire State, we’ve got one McDonald’s that’s different from all the rest. It’s one of the most unique restaurants in New York.
