Frankies 457 is not a new restaurant. It’s not a restaurant that has been under the radar. It’s not even a restaurant that is off the beaten path. It’s four blocks from the Carroll Street F stop, and for those who still think Brooklyn is too far, there’s an outpost in the Lower East Side.
If you, too, have not ventured to this charming restaurant in the three years it’s been in business, it is definitely time to go. No matter that there is a garden at the Brooklyn branch perfect for summertime dining—the reason to go is the meatball parmigiana sandwich. This is winter food. Fluffy, gourmet meatballs made with pine nuts, parsley, and cracked pepper are mashed between a sliced piece of Sullivan Street Bakery’s pizza Bianca bread. At $9, no one can deny its value: the proprietors—both named Frank—could charge double and it’d still be a deal. It will leave you full and satisfied and feeling like you’ve just had a four star sammy.
