Reading Terminal Market

Every time I visit Philadelphia, I have to arrange half a day to visit Reading Station Market. You can find all kinds of products and delicacies here. The bustling diners, the full of fireworks, the lively and crowded, all kinds of languages ​​filling the ears, will also make the city tour more warm. As the saying goes, the atmosphere of fireworks is often closely linked to a word - the world. In the supermarket, what you see is the cold shelves, and in the vegetable market, you see people one by one. Come here and you will feel that you will unlock a different Philadelphia with a lively and fireworks atmosphere.

Reading Terminal Market is located next to Convention Center, in the middle of Philadelphia. It is converted from a train station, so it is a big covered area. This is a place to sample food from all over the world.

200 years ago, this was an open-air market filled with vendors. 100 years ago the market moved indoors, on the first floor of the Philadelphia train station. Today, the market, which has been transformed several times, is located in the most prosperous heart of Philadelphia and is very popular among locals. “If you haven’t eaten a cheese steak sandwich, you haven’t been to Philadelphia.” Cheese Steak is synonymous with Philadelphia cuisine. Watching the chef cook cheese steak is like a lively show. This is not the kind of whole steak we have eaten before. On the large iron plate behind the glass, there are steaming and sizzling beef slices. The chef uses a spatula to quickly "chop" it, adds onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and cheese, and puts it in the hot bread. The fragrant cheesesteak is ready. Founded in 1861, Bessard Ice Cream has been selling the creamiest, richest ice cream on the planet since it opened in Philadelphia's Reading Station Market. Known as the "best ice cream in the world". Don't miss it when you come to Reading Market. The taste is definitely better than Haagen-Dazs and St. Cool Stone. President Obama visited this store specially. Good quality and cheap, ten dollars is enough to fill you up.

Philadelphia's largest and most famous market is frequented by locals. Not only does it offer food, but it also sells many local handicrafts! There is probably no best food to recommend, because so many stalls are unique and must-try! If you go there for the first time, you will find that you need to queue for almost most of the stalls, but it is definitely worth it!

The large market in the center of Philadelphia is a bit like the farmers' market in China, but cleaner than the farmers' market. It has all kinds of meat, eggs, vegetables, and fast food. You can eat on the spot or buy some vegetables to cook yourself. By the way, two or three blocks northwest of it is Philadelphia's Chinatown, where you can walk around just like in China. You can visit these two markets together to experience Chinese and Western culture.
