Frankel's Delicatessen & Appetizing is a Jewish deli and appetizing counter in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, known for classic pastrami and corned beef sandwiches alongside bagels and smoked fish. It's a lunch-focused spot (no dinner service) that draws a steady, loyal local following, which is reflected in its hundreds of reviews on Yelp.

Reviewers describe a wait as typical, with weekends said to bring the longest lines; weekdays are the better bet for a shorter one. It's counter-service style — you order, wait for your name to be called, and grab a seat — so reviewers note the line generally moves at a decent clip rather than sitting static. Hours run 8:30am to 3:00pm daily, so there's no late-day rush to plan around.
