Reading Terminal Market

Reading Terminal-- YAY! This bustling warehouse of food vendors, produce stands, and sit down diners is a classic Philadelphia gathering place, and when you're at the Convention Center you are only a hop skip and a jump away. Ask anyone to point you toward Reading Terminal (there'a a little tunnel almost directly opposite the front door of the convention center that puts you out directly across the street from the Market-- it's basically a block north).

There's such a diverse selection of places to eat at reasonable prices. Amish vendors bring in their delicious buttery foods, or you can stop by the Jewish Deli. There's an ice cream counter, candy counters, Middle Eastern stuff-- everything! It will be crowded, I guarantee, and it may be a little hard to find seating inside. If you can't find a spot at a table, you can always go outside to find a table, or grab a bench outside (you may see a little park with funny, pebbly sculptures across the street for the market, on the same side as the convention center--aka the west side of 12th street). It's casual, yes, but yummy and relatively cheap!

Definitely check it out. Everyone at the convention will be-- trust me!
