Frankel’s is a modern twist on the classic Jewish deli, serving up mouthwatering bagels with smoked fish and hefty sandwiches in a charming, bustling spot.
"Perhaps you’ve closed your eyes while eating bagels over the last few weeks, wishing they were from Frankel’s. Luckily, this Greenpoint spot is officially taking pre-orders for weekend pick-up and local delivery. They’re offering a limited menu for now, but all the classics are present and accounted for (like bagels with cream cheese and smoked fish and babka). Check their Instagram for more details and place your pre-order here." - hannah albertine
"Pastrami, Egg, & Cheese Why must we settle for just bacon, sausage, or ham for the choice of meat in our breakfast sandwiches? Why not throw in hunks of shredded pastrami that taste like they’ve been smoking since before you were born? That’s exactly what they do at this Jewish deli in Greenpoint. Frankels’ excellent pastrami joins three eggs and american cheese on a bagel or a challah roll—which we prefer. The buttery bread is the perfect vessel for the combination of smokey meat, and eggs and cheese that melt together, forming one unit. It’s the kind of teamwork that Knicks fans haven’t seen since the days of Willis Reed and Red Holzman." - willa moore, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, carina finn koeppicus
"Zach Frankel and Taylor McEwan opened Frankel’s to bring Jewish fare to Greenpoint, particularly smoked fish and meats. Get the pastrami with egg and cheese at breakfast, or opt for Frankel’s #1 Bagel with pastrami salmon and dill cucumber. And the pastrami and corned beef are hand cut." - Eater Staff
"Frankel’s only opened in 2016, but this new-school take on an old-school Jewish deli has already achieved Greenpoint icon status. Their bagel sandwiches are instantly recognizable, sort of like Bill Murray or the Pope. Our go-to orders are the Combo #1 (lox, scallion cream cheese, and cucumbers), the egg sandwich on brioche, and the turkey reuben. If you want to skip the line, order online ahead of time, then pick up your food and take it to McCarren Park for the perfect picnic." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"While Jewish deli franks are generally a predictable commodity, great but unfussy, this Greenpoint joint (counter seating only) offers a designer frank more juicy than usual, though with the predictably spare toppings. Plus, the mirrored sleeve it comes in is an added delight. Spoon on the kraut." - Robert Sietsema
