Kenny & Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen

1743 Post Oak Boulevard (New location: former Luby’s) Houston 77056 713.871.8883 kennyandziggys.com

This Houston tradition seems three times larger in its new location, and at noon recently there was a wait for a table, although service was very prompt once seated. The place is a hubbub of activity, from the full service bar to the well-stocked bakery cases. The menu proclaims “Life is unpredictable EAT DESSERT FIRST”. The operation runs like a Swiss watch and with the large numbers of regulars, the longtime staff, and pleasant frenzied feeling, it is easy to imagine being in…Manhattan. The walls and rafters are festooned with theatrical posters and celebrity caricatures, and there is something happening everywhere in the room to reward your senses. The menu is immense, so WARNING! We only have room here to give you a hint at its array of selections.
