Tripe won't make the menu at the new Shank's & Evelyn's

As of 3:44 p.m. I got the last of the tripe being served at Shank's & Evelyn's, the S. 10th Street Italian luncheonette that is, after is 48 years in South Philly, closing its doors and moving to 15th and Sansom (into the former J.B. Pastrami's spot). Tomorrow, April 30, is closing day, and Evelyn Perri and daughter Pamela Poppa will be serving food to the locals as a sort of bon voyage until the rabe runs out. But tripe � cow�s stomach to the uninitiated � won�t be making the trek to the new location, according to Poppa. It�s mostly only South Philly old heads and me who like it.� So I snagged the last batch with some chicken cutlets to go, while my wife Glamorosi got eggplant parm and veal scaloppini � the latter being another dish that won't survive the move.
