What burger king in Times Square? The closest one I can think of is at Herald square.

There used to be one very close to Times Square, on 42nd, but I don’t remember the cross street. Near Madame Tussaud IIRC

Are you sure it wasn't a McDonalds' because I do remember their being one of those there but no burger king. I was very fond of the king and hung out in times square fairly often at the arcades back then. I feel like I would have known.

It’s there now on 42nd Street and has been. Sorry if you don’t remember it.

i’m sure the McDonalds didn’t have computers with internet. Mcdonald’s had a very flashy 4 or 5 story building. I was just a boy from Texas going around NYC and looking for free or cheap internet to send emails back home.

side story. I remember a guy buying big fries and chocolate sundae and dunking the fries in the sundae, he was really happy.

I was thinking ppl are crazy here.
