Amid NYPD manhunt, subway shooting suspect Frank James ate lunch at Katz’s Deli, walked NYC in plain view of surveillance cameras

NEW YORK — As the NYPD and federal law enforcement scoured the city for the accused Brooklyn subway shooter on Wednesday, the burly suspect enjoyed some of Manhattan’s culinary delights.

At 10:30 a.m., Frank James sat outside the trendy Chinatown restaurant Dimes, just staring into space, said a source who spied the suspect. A few hours later, James grabbed lunch at Katz’s Deli, a separate source confirmed to the Daily News.

Around 1 p.m., the 62-year-old, apparently fed up with the food tour, called Crime Stoppers on himself at an East Village McDonald’s. An eagle-eyed worker spotted him and he was taken into custody at 1:42 p.m. at St. Mark’s Place and First Ave.
