As the world's eyes are glued to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, millions of soccer fans are flocking to New York City to catch the action in person. However, some tourists are expressing their disappointment and outrage over the exorbitant prices being charged for meal deals at popular venues. For a whopping $26, fans are being offered what many are calling a "ripoff" - a meal that often includes a hot dog or burger, fries, and a drink. The irony lies in the fact that many of these establishments don't even have TVs to watch the games, leaving fans to wonder if the overpriced meal is worth the experience.
