Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'iconic' that I wasn't previously aware of.

My first explosive diarrhea on U.S. soil happened right there on the 2nd floor of this iconic establishment, April of 1996. Small intestines: consider your pain avenged.

That’s devastating. Cause my parents used to take me this McDonald’s when i was younger . It’s sad to see this place go

at least i can say that i've tasted their food there. and the other mcdonald's in the center of Times Square. FYI: There used to be a very Large Internet Cafe along the 42nd square McD's branch.
