About
The scent of freshly baked pretzels and roasting coffee fills the air at Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia's food paradise. Established in 1893 and housed in a National Historic Landmark building, this vast market is one of the country's oldest and largest farmers markets. You'll find Amish baked goods, homemade ice cream, fresh pierogies, and scrapple, plus local honey, produce, meats, and seafood. Beyond food, there are booksellers, florists, linens, and crafts. The crowd is mixed-gay-straight, making it a welcoming spot for everyone.
If you're visiting, go during a weekday morning to avoid the lunch rush. The market offers beer and wine, free wifi, and brunch. Grab a pretzel from the Amish stand and browse the shops for unique gifts. Philly AIDS Thrift is nearby for more shopping. It's a true Philly institution, super local and super Philly.
Located in Rittenhouse Square, Reading Terminal Market is a historic market that draws locals and tourists alike.
