It’s no surprise when musicians branch out into other ventures, be that clothing brands and activewear, television, barbershops and more. Now, a whole bunch of people including Alex Frankel of Holy Ghost, rapper Despot and Run The Jewels’ El-P have opened up an upmarket Jewish deli in Brooklyn, called Frankel’s Delicatessen & Appetising.
At the helm of the Frankel’s operation is Frankel and his brother Zach. It’s part owned by El-P and Despot, among others. It looks incredible.

The official launch took place today, and a whole lot of people showed up to sample the bagels, the matzo ball soup, the smoked fish and more.
