A sharp knife, sharp wit, and tender veal help keep Frank Susi in business
at the Abruzzese Meat Market on Salem Street. In 1962, when Susi was 21,
he and his uncle opened the shop, named for their home region in Italy. In
those days it was one of many authentic Italian butcher shops in the North
End. Today only a few remain, supplanted by trendy restaurants. “I don’t
know what will happen to my shop in the future,” says Susi. “But for now,
I make a living out of it. I love to do it. You talk with people. The days
go by quick.”
