I Would Revisit Philadelphia JUST for This Market!…read more
Reading Terminal Market was easily one of our favourite stops during our Philadelphia trip, and honestly, I would come back to Philly just to visit this market again! The sheer number of incredible food options is overwhelming in the best possible way. There are so many vendors, cuisines, snacks, and treats to choose from that you almost wish you could eat ten meals in one sitting!
We spent quite a bit of time exploring the market, trying different things, and figuring out what we wanted to eat. There were so many tempting options, but we were ultimately EXTREMELY happy with everything we chose.
Here are just a few of the highlights from our visit:
Miller's Twist: They made the best soft pretzel any of us have ever had. Seriously, it was THAT good!
Really Reel Ginger: We picked up some incredible ginger snacks that were delicious and definitely worth trying.
Kamal's: We tried knafeh here, which was a fantastic way to sample something different while exploring the market.
Famous 4th Street Cookie: Their cookies were delicious, soft, and incredibly moist. Our favourites were the Blueberry Muffin and Ginger Molasses cookies, and they stayed soft for DAYS!
Umi Seafood: The deep-fried crab sticks were insanely delicious! Perfectly sweet and flaky on the inside, with an excellent crispy tempura batter. We also loved how friendly the staff were.
Hatville Deli: I went with their popular Corned Beef Sandwich, and it was fantastic. The coleslaw added a great crunch, making it a seriously satisfying sandwich.
And that was just SOME of what we tried! There were so many other vendors and food options that caught our attention, and we barely scratched the surface of everything available.
What makes Reading Terminal Market so special is the variety. Whether you're craving a hearty sandwich, freshly baked treats, international cuisine, seafood, or something you've never tried before, there's a good chance you'll find it here. It's the kind of place where everyone in your group can find something they love.
My biggest piece of advice? Arrive hungry, take your time exploring, and don't commit to your first food choice before seeing what's available! You'll probably find yourself wanting to try half the market.
We absolutely loved our visit, and Reading Terminal Market is easily one of our top recommendations for anyone visiting Philadelphia. It's not just a place to grab a bite to eat; it's an experience in itself.
Would we return? In a heartbeat! In fact, we might have to plan another Philly trip just to eat our way through more of this incredible market!
