what happened to frank & son?
Frank & Son ("Feeling Italian today?") has been on McGuinness and Freeman for a long time. However, it was a LUNCH place (as the sign advertises) and not open for dinner or on weekends. The purpose seemed clear by its location.
For whatever dumb reason, when I was working at home I never thought to come up here for a sandwich (to be fair, it wasn't exactly in my daily perimeter) and then after I got a day job, there were random days off or at home where I thought, I should go up there and get a sandwich. Man, I bet they're great.
Opening Day 2007. We have to go to the 7 train anyway, and we decide that we are finally going to get a legendary (in our minds) sandwich from Frank & Son. We hop on the B61, and when we get to the corner of Green, realize that it's closed. We make do with hot dogs at Shea.
But now I take the B61 almost every day to work and it's never open. It was always open early, again, for their core customers. At this point, it's not just closed for vacation.
