Portland’s New York City transplants breathed a collective sigh of relief when Ken Gordon and Nick Zukin, longtime local food purveyors, opened their authentic Jewish deli. They now flock to the sparkling, glassed-in downtown spot for egg creams and Cel-Ray soda, fresh bagels and bialys, vats of puckery pickles, and the foot-tall sandwiches. Pastrami is cured five days, smoked ten hours, and steamed for three hours. Breakfast, including crispy potato latkes and corned beef hash, is available all day. Despite being connected to the hip Ace Hotel, there is no Big Apple surliness here, only a friendly waitstaff wearing whimsical “Body by Pastrami” T-shirts. Northwest Portland happily claims a deli annex, called Kenny & Zuke’s SandwichWorks.
