Kenny & Zukes

Have a craving for a good pastrami on rye, some potato latkes or some NY cheesecake but you are in Portland not New York City?  No worries just head on downtown to Kenny & Zukes, Portland amazing Jewish deli.

Their pastrami is made on the premises and the servings are decent size. I split a sandwich with my daughter.  Not as big as the 7 inch high pastrami we had  at Carnegie’s Deli in NYC that fed the whole family though!!  And of course each plate comes with a pickle.  It doesn’t have quite the same hustle and bustle feel of the NY deli but the food made us feel like we were there.

I had my first potato latkes at Kenny & Zukes and they were great. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but not too soft.  I don’t like potatoes but I enjoyed these.  A side serving of applesauce and sour cream to go with.

Our server was friendly and helpful and we will definitely go back next time that a craving for a Reuben or a Pastrami hits!

And if you get thirsty they have amazing selection of soda!
