What once was the heart of Kansas City’s Italian-American community has become, over the last two decades, a close-knit Vietnamese neighborhood; in the space that had been occupied by Nigro’s Drugstore (it still boasts a beautiful terrazzo floor and pressed-tin ceilings), the Vietnam Café serves inexpensive but beautifully presented and delicious food, including lemongrass chicken, salt-and-pepper shrimp, fried pork skewered with a splinter of sugar cane, and spring rolls – filled here with shrimp and paper-thin slices of roast pork – and those addictive clusters of sweet-potato splinters fried with shrimp. — Charles Ferruzza
