Philly Roast Pork Sandwich (DiNic’s Copycat)

Ask around Philly and you’ll hear that our best sandwich isn’t the cheesesteak. It’s the roast pork. It’s thin sliced pork roasted with garlic and herbs, piled onto a crusty roll along with sharp provolone, bitter broccoli rabe, and a few long hots. The pork’s juices soak into the bread in all the right places. DiNic’s at Reading Terminal Market is the spot most people rave about, but I’m here to tell you that you can totally make this delicious roast pork sandwich at home, Philly-style.

Academy museum’s real deficit

When Philadelphia officials argue about what a museum costs the public, a single number can travel farther than the paperwork behind it. At a City Council hearing, speakers cited a $4.4 million shortfall for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Documents later placed the 2025 gap at $960,000.
