A friendly Philly neighborhood
Sat along one of the many curves of the Delaware River near downtown Philadelphia is Tacony, a historic neighborhood that has been a part of the city and its culture since 1854. The community his home to some colorful personalities and good hearts, such as Dennis Fink. A local business owner and inhabitant of Northeast Philly for 40 years, Fink has long admired this part of the city for its heart. “My first place was this apartment right above a local bar. Back then, the neighborhood was made up almost entirely of Italian-American families. You might think it would be hard to integrate, but within the first few weeks, a neighbor gave me a translation book to help me keep in touch with everyone. To this day, people here are just as helpful and friendly.”

Fink's Hoagies has gourmet sandwiches
While Fink is a long-standing pillar of the community with a list of exploits, his current venture is as one of the best sandwich makers in the neighborhood. Aptly named Fink’s Hoagies, the sandwich shop has appeared on TasteAtlas and Fox 29 Philly as a must-try location. “My wife and I opened the shop in 2005,” says Fink, “initially it was meant as a post-retirement project, but pretty quickly, we blew up beyond what we could have expected.” When asked about his menu, Fink says he loves to experiment. “I like to explore what I can do with the ingredients I can get my hands on. If I like it, it goes on the menu.” When residents need groceries, they can shop at the stores sat at the community’s many street corners such as The Queen Grocer or J&J Corner Store. Big box shopping can be done downtown at Market Place East, 6 miles southwest on Market Street.
