This closing in particular is sad. Not only for the loss of food and feeling, but for the fact that in Kansas City it might not even be felt. Is there tribe in KC that will suffer this loss?! I honestly don’t know. I would've gone there when in KC this fall for the American Royal. Seems like he gave it his best. At any age the food service business is backbreaking. At Mr. Holzmark’s age I’d imagine it’d be near impossible without support. Seems as though he did all he can. I guess delis need support not only in clientele, but in running the business as well. It can’t be done alone. When any deli closes it’s a true cultural and culinary deprivation. This closing in particular is sad.

I've literally been going here all my life. My grandmother shopped here, my father shopped here, I took my son here and I just introduced my girlfriend to it about a month ago. I have to be in KC Tuesday for my mother's surgery and I was planning a trip to the deli on my way home. Man, this sucks. This makes me want to cry. I’ve literally been going here all my life.

Most of our extended relatives thought this to be a strange way to celebrate. To us, it seemed not only logical, but a delicious way to usher in the Christmas season. When my girls were old enough, we went with their grandmother to buy the deli supplies every afternoon on Christmas Eve. Later, my girls and I made the journey without Betty, but she was with us in spirit. Since 2003, my grandson and son-in-law joined us. We added a new slant and shared one order of bagels and lox. Yes, it was enough for four of us. To think of a life without Salt Sticks is sad, indeed. Every Christmas Eve, for about 80 years, my husband’s

I've been telling my now 13 year old son about them for years. We were going to bAck to KC this weekend and we were going to stuff ourselves on a Rubin there and I found out they were closed and I'm heart broken. I feel like a piece of my past has been lost. It was a wonderful place, the smell when you pulled in the lot would make your mouth water. It was near impossible to eat a whole rubin but I couldn't help myself, they were so delicious. When I was a kid my Dad would take me to Benny McGoon's deli in St Jo, MO (another authentic Jewish deli that closed in the 1960's). I will have to make the trek to NY so my son can experience a good deli. I worked a few blocks from the NY Deli in the early 90’s and had a rubin there at least once a week.

Often times I was the only one in the joint. I would order a double pastrami sandwich with yellow mustard on rye, a creamy coleslaw, and a caffeine free diet coke. Then I would sit in the sunny booth by the southern window, in the western seat, and read ingrams while eating this feasts. It was my little treat for the week, a real pleasure. I still have my frequent sandwich club card over my desk at work. I had two punches on my way to a free sandwich. Something poignant about that. I read the health departments report. I never, in ten years, ever ever ever saw a crawling bug or rat feces, and needless to say, I never got sick there either. Now it just lives on, like the road warrior, in my memories.

Big, fresh, chewy and tasty. I used to buy a box at a time and wander around work, handing them out to people. So many smiling faces. I forgot to mention, the macaroons. Big, fresh, chewy and tasty.

I'm 58 and have enjoyed their Rubins since the sixties. If I had the money, I’d seek a franchise and open a New York II in Overland Park. I’m 58 and have enjoyed their Rubins since the sixties.
