USA / New Jersey / West New York / New York City, New York

restaurant, McDonald's, historical layer / disappeared object

Reportedly the largest branch of MacDonald's in the world, occupying the former Harris Theater. In a rare departure from the deliberate uniformity of fast food chains, its interior was designed by Charles Morris Mount to echo the themes of Times Square with exposed brickwork, theater-style lights, and a full-length theater marquee.

Despite being open for nearly two decades, the location closed in June of 2020.
