Finding a midday meal in New York City that actually fills you up without completely draining your wallet is a constant battle.
The $20 sad desk salad or over-priced deli sandwich has become an unfortunate standard, leaving hungry locals settling for less.
But a bright orange box is currently changing the lunch landscape across the boroughs, bringing serious portion sizes (and flavor) back to the streets!
The Marco’s World x Yoyo Chicken collab
If you know NYC food, you probably know Marco Lombardi (aka @marcosworldnyc).
The beloved local food creator has built a massive following by championing affordable eats, uncovering hidden gems, and proving you don’t need to empty your bank account to eat well in the five boroughs.
Now, he’s teamed up with local halal hit Yoyo Chicken to drop the Marco’s World Lunchbox Special—an affordable, heavy-hitting meal available at all of their NYC locations.
Priced at just $9.99, this custom-designed orange box packs a serious amount of food.
The main event? A thick, perfectly golden-brown fried chicken fillet served inside a soft, toasted bun, loaded with crunchy pickles and their signature creamy, tangy sauce.
Avoiding unnecessary gimmicks, the focus remains entirely on solid frying execution.
As Marco himself notes, “This is such a great, simple, and delicious fried chicken sandwich.”
Waffle fries, sodas, and Upper East Side perks
This isn’t a standalone sandwich deal.
Every single $9.99 box includes a generous mountain of seasoned waffle fries and an ice-cold soda to wash the whole meal down—or as Marco puts it, “Bada BING to the bada BOOM!”
Here’s the catch: This combo only runs until the end of May.
While you can secure this $9 steal anywhere in the city, there is an added incentive for visiting the Upper East Side.
If you head to Yoyo Chicken’s specific 1167 2nd Ave location, your lunchbox comes with exclusive limited-edition stickers to commemorate the collaboration.
Run, don’t walk, to grab this custom orange box before the month is over!
