Big Changes Coming to the ‘Home of the Whopper’ in Lakewood

City’s architectural board of review OK’s facelift to the property at Madison Avenue and W. 117th Street.

The Burger King at the southwest entrance of Lakewood — at Madison Avenue and W. 117th Street — is getting a makeover.

Decision on Burger King Overhaul Put on Hold

City's architectural board of review defers decision on the facelift to the burger joint at Madison Avenue and W. 117th Street.
