Exploring Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia

Wait for it… My favorite stop on our DC-Philadelphia road trip is not the usual. 😀 While I loved the history and the architecture and the city sights of both fabulous places, museums and white columns start to blend together. 🥱 👉Go different. 👉Go to Reading Terminal Market. So many different… Foods to taste. Accents to hear. Pastries to beckon. Seafood to inspect. People to watch. Stalls to weave through. Boys: Waited in line for 30 minutes for their first authentic Philly cheeesteak from @carmens_famous 🥩 Girls: Quick ordered a fabulous gyro platter from the cutest little Greek lady at Olympia Gyros @olympiagyro 🥙 Dessert: Homemade whoopie pie @flyingmonkeyphilly 🍰 🔹Make sure you say “Redding” 😀 🔹Research your meal options the vendor list on the market website 🔹Walk twenty minutes over from the Independence Hall 🔹Plan a meeting place for the family just in case you get separated (crowds!) 🔹Don’t let go of that kid’s hand 🔹Expect to stay several hours 🔹Bring a reusable bag to take home snacks since plastic bags are banned 🔹Don’t come during lunch time - or you will have a hard time finding a seat 🔹Come hungry to sample lots! 👉Tell me your favorite food market experience!
