Editorial Review for Reading Terminal Market – by Jason Clampet

In Short
Amish vendors take orders on cordless phones just across the way from a kebab seller; there's vegetarian takeout steps away from the butcher, all contained in a restored structure that once accommodated commuters arriving in trains, but now catering largely to suburban visitors. The eateries, bakeries, markets and diners offer plenty of choices for groups in the city for a few days, whether they're sightseeing or attending the sci-fi comic-con in the adjoining Convention Center.

Fresh food needs a fresh floral counterpart. The Market has three locations for fresh-cut flowers: Market Blooms, Young Botanicals and Flower Basket.

Best and cheapest produce in Philly! For breakfast or lunch try the Down Home Diner (the bacon is amazing, burgers are huge, and the line moves fast). Famous Fourth Street Cookie Company is Great! (Giant cookies loaded with chips) Try the fruit smoothie place called four seasons! (get the tropical, order it by number) Fischers soft pretzels are classic! (go for the butter on top) Looking for vegetables, use Iovines produce. The spice terminal has a huge variety of cooking extras.

Pros: Inexpensive, Great Food, Good parking

You can spend an enjoyable day here having breakfast, lunch and then take something home for dinner. The best: Termini. Salumeria, Downtown Cheese, Old City Coffee (have a mocha froth), the Pennsylvania General Store and Foster's. Not to mention the great breads at Le Bus and Metropolitan. Love the Amish merchants and Diener's rotisserie chickens. South American Folklore is great for alpaca sweaters and scarves. The Market merchants are some of the best people in Philly.

Pros: friendly merchants, best food, real Philly atmospher

Cons: noisy, need more tables
