A Seven-Eleven is kitty-corner to the McDonald.
A Seven-Eleven is kitty-corner from the McDonald.

Which is correct?

Thanks.

'from' is more correct.

Thanks. If it is not at corners, but on opposite sides of the same street, but not facing each other, can I say:

A Sever-Eleven is diagonally across from the McDonald.

[CP]

Yes, that is what kitty-corner or cater-corner means. The northwest corner is cater-corner from the southeast corner. Otherwise, they are just across the street from each other.
