Internet shares hilarious memories from the now-closed McDonald’s in Times Square

They’re a McFlurry of emotions.

When news broke that the iconic McDonald’s in Times Square was closing its doors on Tuesday, Big Mac lovers near and far could hardly believe the four-story flagship restaurant wouldn’t live to flip another patty.

So after 17 years of operation, locals and tourists alike took to Twitter to share their wildest stories from the Broadway joint and collectively grieve the end of an era.

“The 42nd Street McDonalds in Time Square is closing for good. Sad face. So many memories took place there. Ghetto ones, but memories nonetheless,” tweeted @Khadiforever.

Indeed, many of the accounts shared on social media weren’t exactly kids-meal-rated.

Mitchell Wall, for example, could never forget the time he and a friend ventured to the fast-food joint to score a bag of weed while on a high school trip from Seattle.

We “were supposed to stay in the hotel room while everyone went to the Mets game [but] ended up dippin’ into Times Square to locate some weed and try to buy some booze,” said Wall, now 28. “A few people pointed us to this man in a Celtics jersey who instructed, ‘OK . . . get to the McDonald’s and find a guy in a leather jacket with studs on it.’ “
