Eating Some of the Best Pastrami in NYC at Frankel's Delicatessen

  • I eat and review the pastrami sandwich and reuben at Frankel's Delicatessen & Appetizing in Greenpoint, Brooklyn of New York City. I believe the establishment serves some of the best pastrami in NYC. I also compare their pastrami to some of the other notable restaurants that serve the meat such as Katz's Delicatessen and Hometown Bar-B-Que. After finishing my sandwich, I get a donut and coffee from the iconic Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop.

    Nice segment James. Pastrami will always be the king of NY! I appreciate all your reviews on the various establishments that offer this NY delicacy. On another note, Peter Pan is an institution in Greenpoint. Am very glad you enjoyed your donut (and dollar coffee) there. Stay well.

    James, Love your videos. Michelin stars are nice but a Pastrami sandwich ala Stage Deli or Carnegie Deli is truly a think of beauty. The Reuben is one of the great masterpieces of the modern world. I lived in NYC for 35 years and was a foodie with an expense account. You are too young Riley to know Cafe Seyokin, Batons, Barocco, Circo, but there is still Moustache, Odeon, Balthazar, Le Singe Vert, to name a few. Keep on eating and I will l keep on watching.

      Thank you so much! Indeed! A good, juicy, hot pastrami sandwich is a special thing! Besides, I don't want to eat just fancy food all of the time. Some of the best food is quick, fast, and affordable. Yeah, I haven't had the pleasure of dining at some of NYC's notable institutions of the past, but I do love reading about them and I've heard about some of the places that you've listed. I definitely will be dining at Balthazar and Odeon in the future.

    That truly looked as good as any of the best of them, and on par with Katz's. Perhaps the bread sogged up because they wrapped it up? I usually visit Greenpoint for the Polish food but next time I visit I will venture into Frankel's. Across the street from Peter Pan Donuts is a place called Polka Dot. Excellent Polish food. It's sort of like a takeout place. Great quality and affordable. I recommend going early when the food is the freshest.

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  9 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for the recommendation! One side of my family has a lot of Polish heritage, so Greenpoint has always had a special feel for me. I've never been to Polka Dot, but I'll definitely give it a try in the future. Indeed, I think Frankel's has some of the best pastrami in NYC. That's also what I was thinking too about the bread sogging up because of it being wrapped. Still, it was at least nice to see some color on the bread.
