 Mom & my daughter peruse the market by asturnut Since 1893 Reading Terminal Market has been the preeminent culinary market in Philadelphia. Domestic and exotic produce, produce and meat, herbs, kitchen wares, fresh baked goods and eat-in and take out goodies as well flower vendors populate this heavenly desination. As a teenager, Reading Terminal Market was the first place I ever encountered such diversity in foods. I've been hooked ever since. If you are a person who really enjoys things to related to food, you could easily spend half a day perusing the Market. Leave a Comment

 Reading Terminal Market by SmileyLeSa If you're simply passing through or perhaps taking a lunch break, the Reading Terminal Market is the ideal place to go. If you're in the mood for a Philly Cheesesteak, beware that during weekday lunch hours the line at Rick's Philly Steaks is very long. The Reading Terminal market offers everything from fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh cut flowers, and gourmet items to speciality foods. The market is over 100 years old and is build under a railroad terminal. The market is closed on Sundays. Market Hours Monday through Saturday 8am - 6pm. Leave a Comment

 Reading Terminal Market by bct341 In 1889 the Reading Railroad announced it would build a state-of-the-art train shed in Philadelphia at 12th and Market Streets. The new train shed promised to be the biggest of them all, fronted by a splendid pink and white eight story office building. Fortunately, after much debate, it was decide that the markets currently occupying the same location on which the railroad proposed to build its new terminal would be purchased for one million dollars. The markets would be relocated within the new train shed beneath the elevated rail tracks. Reading's new train shed would be different from all others in that it had a gastronomic bazaar tucked away in its cellar. Reading Terminal Market was born. Today, the Reading Terminal Market, considered by many as the best farmers market in the U.S., blends together state-of-the-art systems technology without sacrificing its historical integrity. It’s not only a popular hometown attraction, but also the most popular Philadelphia tourist destination after the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Eighty-six merchants offer patrons fresh produce, meats, fish, groceries, flowers, baked goods, crafts, books, clothing, as well as hard-to-find specialties and ethnic foods. Shopping and dining become a pleasure in this warm, inviting, and unique atmosphere. The Reading Terminal Market, like it did over a hundred years ago, is reminiscent of personal, neighborhood shopping, and still offers something for everyone. A trip to Philadelphia would not be complete without stopping here. Leave a Comment

by evilprebil An indoor "farmers market" in downtown Philly. I love food, so it's fun to wander around here. The market was opened its doors in 1892. Street markets began to fall out of favor and in 1859 they were all dismantled. Indoor markets sprang up and two combined to form the Reading terminal market. I do love the Amish stalls since they give out free samples and have THE BEST cheese! That helps to keep a more historic feel, but there are plenty of modern "stalls" and great restaurants (Oprah loves Delilah's macaroni and cheese). Now open sundays! Leave a Comment

 Let's shop for food girls! by Rhondaj A mixture between a bunch of restaurants and lots of food shops. All in a gigantic open space. I love this place! Wander up and down aisle upon aisle of foods and a few bric-a-brac places thrown in. Always crowded, but never claustrophobic. Careful, the market is not open on Sundays! Hours: Monday to Saturday 8 am to 6 pm. Leave a Comment

This place is great. It is right next to Chinatown, on the other side of Arch St. This place has everything, starting from teas, veggies, herbs, fruits to chocolate, fish, sea food, coffee, and much much more. People come here from Lancaster County with fresh veggies, fruits, bread, deli and much much more. So if you are staying in a hotel around center city, stop by and enjoy some great food. There is also a really good ice cream shop. If you've ever heard of Preston & Steve show then you will be glad to know that that ice cream place now (since April 15th or 18th I think) sells ice cream called "Gadzooks." Also check out cheeses that they are selling there, especially the Lancaster County cheese. And you have to try the sweets! You've never seen anything like it. If you want to catch Pennsylvania Dutch marchants, make sure you stop by Wednesday 8am - 3pm, Thursday - Saturday 8am - 5pm because those are the only days they are there. Leave a Comment

by acemj A big open hall that has great little stands of all kinds- meats, fish, cheese, bread, spices, flowers, ice cream, crafts . . . whatever you want. A great place to stop for lunch or just to browse. The Amish have some great stands here selling their fresh breads, ice creams and many other things. Leave a Comment Directions: Right across from the convention center, Center City.

 Reading Terminal market by oldmonk_92129 This marketplace is pretty unique! There are loads of eateries and a couple of antique book stores. All kinds of little mom and pop stores are found here. I loved the Amish bakeries which sell great pretzels and their fruit stands serving organic fruit. Leave a Comment
