Grumpy Biebs And Fiancee Seem Unimpressed By Pricey BK Bagels
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin appeared at Frankel's Delicatessen and left one Brooklynite wondering, "Who are these people?"

GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN — A photo of a Justin Bieber and his fiancee Hailey Baldwin sharing a melancholy embrace at a Greenpoint bagel shop has local Brooklynites amused and confused.
Page Six first published the photo of Baldwin and the Biebs inside Frankel’s Delicatessen — the high-end bagel joint backed by rapper Despot, Run the Jewels rapper and producer El-P., and Holy Ghost! Member Alex Frankel — on Tuesday.
The photo, which was shared by Entertainment Tonight and Greenpointers, caused a miniature uproar among local Greenpoint residents with strong opinions about Brooklyn, bagels and the Biebster.

Some commenters tried to guess at why the couple appeared less than satisfied with their deli journey.
“$14 bagels,” posited Benmorrisphoto. “Heavy.”

“Maybe they sold out of white fish?” Magickcity guessed.
Hellyeahnando replied, “He probably ordered a plain bagel with plain creme.”
Others pondered what the photo said about the neighborhood.
“Welcome to new Greenpoint,” okxavwegetit wrote.
“They are the only ones who can afford a Frankels sandwich,” said Roznotwo.
“They look like every other couple in greenpoint,” added Gravyandgold.
Several commenters noted their enchantment with a man in a white shirt who stood behind the power couple and seemed almost awed by the experience.
“The guy in the background of the second pic is you if you ever saw them in public,” said polinaboteva.
“The dude’s face in the background like ‘for real Justin,’” nll2605 commented. “Then the bald dude is like “I know, I just had to look the other way.”
“I don't care about them,” wrote willishia_6052869. “ all I care about now is the guy in the back.”
All one lone Brooklyner called Kantyellow wanted to know was, “Who are these people?”
