According to industry estimates, New York City is home to some 25,000 restaurants. That’s a lot of restaurants for a single city, even one as large as the Big Apple.

Here’s another remarkable stat for you. Two hundred and fifty of those restaurants — 1% of the total — are branches of the fast food giant McDonald’s. And lest you think that Mickey D’s caters strictly to the get-’em-in, get-’em-out class of eaters, consider that the McDonald’s at 160 Broadway in Manhattan has (or at least had, as of June 2014) a doorman, marble tables, a private dining room, grand piano, wait staff and live music.

Nor is the obsession with this burger empire limited to New Yorkers. Not by a longshot. The McDonald’s Corporation website reports that the chain boast more than 35,000 restaurants in 118 countries. In the U.S. alone, there are better than 16,000 restaurants.

Whether or not you are among those who are “lovin’ it,” there’s no denying McDonald’s is here to stay. Here is a chance to test your knowledge about the McDonald’s brand. But while we’re at it, let’s extend the test to other fast food purveyors as well.
