I'll keep this short. Sister Katie sent me Calvin Trillin's "Feeding a Yen" I was pumped. I was even more pumped reading about about Trillin's youth in Kansas City, trekking down to the New York City and Deli at it's original downtown KC location.
Time passes. The Kansas City New York City and Deli changed location, and moved over near Hwy 71 at the Watkins/63rd Street exit near the hospital. Tragically across from the cemetery.After a long battle with old equipment, dramatically changing demographics, and KC health inspectors, the last, and oldest, authentic Jewish deli in Kansas City closed in 2009.
The nearest decent corned beef on rye? Des Moines. Really.
