This place was HUGE. It went on for miles in all directions. There were tons of people filling all the space. It was tight in there. I had to use all my aggressive navigation skills to get around. I was also constantly rubber necking to take in all the food stalls and vendors. I could have spent an entire day there exploring and would have seen maybe a third of what's there. Unfortunately I was only in town for a day, so aside from quickly walking through, I stopped at a bar for a really good cider. Overall, excellent visit and I definitely want to go back!

The Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia is awesome. We ventured into downtown and wanted to…read morewander through the market to see what was available. As it turns out, everything is available. Cheeses, meats, donuts, ice cream, candies, desserts, coffee, and everything in between to include small rocks and crystals. Realistically you can spend a good 3-4 hours in this market alone. Wandering the aisles, ordering various food options from various vendors and then finding a seat to sit down and enjoy your food. That last part, finding a table to sit down and eat your food could be a bit tricky. When we first arrived at the market it was 9:30 a.m. and we were able to find a seat without much trouble. When we returned to the market for a second time, around 1:30 p.m. it was noticeably more packed inside and I had to do two loops before a table cleared up. There are so many vendors inside you really can't even come close to trying them all in one visit. I would like to come back and try some more places next time. As for parking, I was told to park at the Convention Center parking structure, but when I arrived there was a large sign stating that parking was full. I ended up finding a public parking lot at Commerce & N. 13th St which I parked at, but after 4 hours or so I think it cost me about $50. To be expected, unfortunately, for big city parking.

I tried the Carrot Yogurt Safeha $7 (roasted carrots, topped with herby yogurt sauce, zatar, walnuts, and olive oil). This was delicious! I ate the first half heated and the second half hours later.

There's some incredible dolphin coffee tables and other vintage home decor in the back. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood and the perfect place to shop for gifts!

After some online research, Cactus Collective made the list, along with many other gems in Queen Village, and I'd have to say I had my best scores there. The two ladies working there were very warm and inviting when I entered, but also were cool with giving me my space to dig around--I never felt pressured, which I've found most helpful when perusing unique vintage items. The store has a very distinctive Southwestern personality that sets it apart from other vintage stores in the city. Though it's a small space, the clothes, accessories, and gifts were all merchandised in a way to make the customer feel as if they're shopping in someone's private closet. Later, after following the store on Instagram, I had questions about some items I was interested in buying via their online store. I received quick responses and the owner was patient with all my questions, and they shipped my item within 24 hours. No doubt will I be buying from CC again, and I'm already looking forward to my next Philly trip so that I can revisit in person.
