IllustrationFrankel's opened in 2016 as a new-school take on the old Jewish deli and appetizing counter, and it has since become a Greenpoint institution. Its bagel sandwiches are instantly recognizable to anyone who has picnicked in McCarren Park.
Order the Combo #1 — lox, scallion cream cheese and cucumber — or the egg sandwich on brioche in the morning, and the turkey reuben if it's lunch. Order online to skip the line, then carry it to McCarren Park for a picnic.
Editor’s tip
Order the Combo #1 online, pick it up and walk two blocks to McCarren Park.
