Frequently asked questions
Why choose Frankel's over the historic delis?
Different mission. Frankel's is a quick modern counter with excellent versions of a few things, not a museum-scale institution. It fits a Brooklyn morning perfectly.
What should I order at Frankel's?
The pastrami egg and cheese. Add a latke if you want to understand why locals line up on weekends.
What should I do after eating at Frankel's?
Walk to Transmitter Park on the Greenpoint waterfront for Manhattan views. The whole loop from counter to river and back takes under an hour.
