Brooklyn’s Gary He, 39, wrote the scrumptious guide — aptly titled “ McAtlas: A Global Guide to the Golden Arches ” — to highlight the fast-food franchise’s most architecturally daring branches.
Coming out in November, the book boasts 200 photos taken from the more than 1,000 burger joints he saw. “McDonald’s is the largest and most important influential restaurant in the world,” He told The Post. “You always want to cover the biggest story as a journalist.

As for style, a few one-of-a-kind dining rooms on the menu include a log cabin designed by Mickey D’s in Wisconsin and a “Big Mac Museum” at the sandwich’s 1967 birthplace in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
Also, there is an Italian location where an ancient Roman road was excavated below its arches. In addition to those, here are some spots The Post thinks you can sink your teeth into. Plane burgers There’s nothing plain about this Kiwi location.
