lunches <= $6

So being the cheap bastard that I am.. many times.. I will opt for less desirable options to keep my lunch at around 5$ pre-tax and under $6 post-tax... but these options that I know of suck... (i.e. subway $5 footlong, dunkin donuts flatbread..) I know that most of the chicken/lamb and rice places are <= $6... but what are your favorite lunches in midtown that are <= $6 (post-tax)?

    Slightly out of bounds, Piece of Chicken at 45th and 9th. As the name suggests. Can get a couple of big pieces, a side and a soda for $6. The lines have been getting longer now that it's nice(r) out.

    No where to eat there(you buy it right out of part of what was the former Jezebel kitchen)

    Washoku @ 9 E 37th St | Btwn 5th & Madison Ave $4.99 lunch special. Go for the spicy chicken.

    most of the hot heros and cold sandwiches at park italian gourmet (45th & 6th) can be had for $6 or less

    lunchbox buffet, 5 dollars (incl tax) 5 combinations, a real hefty amount of food. seriously. 34th bet. 7th and 8th.
    the fried chicken legs are midtownlunch GOLD.

  5. Ranch One near the corner of 46th and 5th has been passing out coupons for 2 dollars off any combo outside on the street. With two dollars off, every combo is under 5 dollars (I think like $4.77 post tax). They also hand out coupons in the morning on the corner of either 46th or 47th and 6th.

    A solid sandwich, fries, and a drink for under 5 bucks is a great deal.

    Any of the sandwiches from Margon.
