Franky's is a reliable draw on Steinway: The Infatuation's Astoria guide says 'you'll always see a crowd around Franky's on Steinway, and for good reason,' pointing to consistent foot traffic rather than an occasional rush.
The pull is sensory as much as reputational — The Infatuation describes how 'the smell of freshly cooked meat wafts down the street and you can't resist stopping by,' framing it as a spontaneous, walk-up stop that's especially popular late at night.
