New York’s Favorite McDonald’s Foods Revealed for 2026
World McDonald's Day was April 15th and a new report is giving us a fun look at what New Yorkers are ordering the most. A new study looked at McDonald’s favorites in every state, and New York definitely has its go-to orders.
The Top Picks Across New York
Coming in at number one is Chicken McNuggets. No real surprise there. They’re quick, easy, and always hit the spot. Right behind them is the Big Mac, followed by the McChicken, classic French fries, and the always-popular McFlurry.
Why These Favorites Make Sense
When you look at the list, it’s all about comfort and convenience. These are the kinds of foods you can grab on the go, share with family, or pick up when you just don’t feel like cooking. Besdies, fries and a McFlurry are hard to pass up.
New Yorkers Know What They Like
What’s interesting is that New York’s top picks line up closely with the rest of the country. Chicken McNuggets are actually the number one item in the most states. That shows that while New Yorkers have their own style, when it comes to fast food, we’re not that different after all.
The Bottom Line
Whether you’re a nuggets person, a Big Mac fan, or just there for the fries, any day (not just McDonald's Day) is a good day to treat yourself. And if your order matches this list, you are not alone. Go here to see which McDonald's item gets the most love in each state.
