Frankel's Delicatessen & Appetizing

"It was something of a modern miracle when Frankel's appeared in Greenpoint, just above the Nassau stop on the G. It perfectly captured the spirit of an old-fashioned deli from early in the last century, with its gleaming interior, counter ordering, neon sign, and white enamelware trays. The pastrami is of the newfangled sort — hand sliced, perhaps overly smoky, and intensely flavorful. Appetizing fish also available, and don’t miss the hot dog." - Robert Sietsema
