McDonald’s
“Piano player, silverware, door guy, and the place was spiffy clean and friendly, with a good outfit of servers on the front lines.”
“Yes this is the Fancy McDonald's I've seen featured on Food Network and Travel Channel.”
“Good place to stop in after all the walking around FiDi, WTC, Wall Street, etc.
They have a large TV display of orders as they're fulfilled, which is a first for me.”

This is the McDonalds that was on some TV show downtown. A bit pimped out and usually has quite a few bums in front. Service is adequate and my hash brown was perfectly cooked. Bathroom is gross.
It is a McDonald's. Let's just get that straight.
After all of the pricey eating… you sometimes you just end up at your roots with some of the standard McD's.
Let's keep it quick. This location is remodeled. New. Clean. Oh, and open 24/7. WHAT?!
Funny how it's so close to Wall St, but seriously you'll see people sneak in and out of here all the time. Plus the location is huge. Come check it out. They even have live music!? Whoa. Crazy.
I'd go here over the other nearby McD's as it is spacious; there are two floors. Good place to stop in after all the walking around FiDi, WTC, Wall Street, etc.
They have a large TV display of orders as they're fulfilled, which is a first for me.
Note we missed the DJ that plays here, mentioned in other reviews.
It's always the ones that are closest to you that end up doing the most damage to one's self… and when I say "closest," I am, of course, referring to spacial proximity (what else would I be talking about?!)!

Yours truly has lasted about half a year, at an office location that is no more than an elevator ride down to this den of sin, and has held fast in avoiding a walk inside these golden arches. Alas, even the best of us succumb to the sirens' song (here's looking at you Odysseus).
It is truly a dichotomous arrangement, how something that, in the (relatively) short term, could be pretty damn incredible… but in the long term, can cause/inflict copious amounts of inner pain/damage/agony once it's gone. I am, of course, referring to the the foodstuffs offered at these establishments and the scant amount of time needed to consume such foodstuffs (what else would I be talking about?! Certainly not some kind of harpy with the face of an angel…)! The record has been set straight for the past century (and then some)… the "food" here will rend your bio-systems asunder, and it is advised that one forego noshing at this place in particular (or any other same/similar establishment bearing the same trademark) in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
Why is it then, that we keep going back and revisiting such situations that, in our heart of hearts know, will cause so much inner turmoil? Is it hubris in maintaining a pipe dream that we actually can control our own destiny? Is it misguided optimism in that the situation will be any different from same/similar past experiences?? Or maybe it's just an addiction/prediliction for the the short term benefits (in spite of all the signs that point to the inevitability that, in the end, there will be no happy conclusion). Who knows?
I like the chicken nuggets… so order those. Also, this place is pretty large, with two floors serving as dining areas. The hoity toity Wall Street crowd tends to stealthily go in and out of this place, in the hopes that their peers don't find out that they have such base appetites… so one should actually be able to find a decent seating spot, even during the lunch rush. Let's hope that this Pre-Easter time of oblation (after today's indulgence here, and the year's indulgences elsewhere) can help purge this vessel of damage done.
LOL…they have their own DJ booth sitting on the top floor.
This place gets 4 stars based on its comparison with OTHER McDonald's. It's standard fare, but the place is like a dressed up, fancy version! With live music! Pretty funny and random. It's also open 24/7. Last time I walked by it looked like it was closed for renovations. I hope they make it even grander! hahaha.
Probably one of the biggest and fanciest McDonald's I've ever been in, but it's all for show. The staff there is incredibly ghetto, loud, slow to take your order, and even slower to serve you. There is one particular female server there (very butch and usually yelling), who actually got into a fight with a customer who came in and wanted to use the bathroom because of something he did to her girlfriend outside work that resulted in a fight then as well. It was all just so trashy and obnoxious. I mean, yes, it's a McDonald's, but that doesn't mean customers should be subject to the…I'm not even sure what to call it, that is going on at this McDonald's. The floor and tables are ALWAYS very dirty. (Note: I came back a 2nd time with a friend, and the same girl was there, yelling really loudly. The rest of the employees seemed to be doing NOTHING. Literally standing there and doing NOTHING, and the place was a straight up mess). There is an upstairs, but you are not allowed up there (it's like, what's the f*cking point of having it then?). I would recommend staying away from this place unless you have very low standards in atmosphere, customer service, and hygiene.
McDonald's is McDonald's really but this place has the unique difference of having a live person playing music on a piano in the restaurant. What I really didn't like about this location is that seating is terrible (at least when I visited). They have 2 floors of seating with maybe a dozen seats on each floor but they are in an area with massive tourism so seating was non-existent when I visited.
