The place is not closed, Esther is just like 100 years old and takes her time opening up when she wants to. – James J. – October 4, 2011 – Foursquare

I’ve heard so much about Elaine’s Avenue M Deli and finally I bought a delicious brisket of beef sandwich on an onion roll with a savory gravy on the side. In an era of fast food and other franchise food businesses taking over the home-cooked food restaurant and delicatessen market, I’m happy to see eateries like Elaine’s holding on. There was a great selection of sandwich meats and cheeses as well as specials of the day. I highly recommend Elaine’s if you are in the mood to order out for lunch. Support local businesses!

I lived at 881 Washington Ave (Carroll St) across from Botanic Gardens, Clara Barton (H.S. for Homemaking) and PS 241. What a place to grow up – deadend street to play in plus three school yards (including Prospect Hgts), the parks, the library and Bklyn Museum hill for sledding. And, you could eat your way up and down Frankin Ave: Geisers, Twin L, Ben & Sol, Normandie Bakery (charlotte russe, black & white cookies), Rae’s, Garcia Vega, Radin’s (Zsa Zsa’s favorite)… rick: 20th Nov 2007 – 20:52 GMT
