Reading Terminal Market - Philadelphia, PA
If you are ever in Philly you must stop at the Reading Terminal Market. It is an amazing six block showcase of local merchants selling a selection of baked goods, meats, poultry, seafood, produce, flowers, ethnic foods, wine, cookware and more!
I’ve been in a couple times before, but yesterday we swung through yet again to see what we could discover.
First stop was lunch at the Hatville Deli where we had decent turkey sandwiches on fresh wheat bread. Come to find out, it’s an Amish deli based out of Lancaster, PA (aka Dutch Country). I’ve never had Amish deli meat before, but it was quite fresh and tasty.
Next stop was at The Famous 4th Street Cookie Co. where I purchased 8 cookies of 4 different kinds. Check out all their amazing kinds of homemade cookies here. My favorite so far is the cinnamon oatmeal.
Third stop was Giunta’s Prime Shop where I made a rather impulsive decision to buy a rotisserie chicken! They smelled divine and I’ve never seen chicken seasoned so well. I couldn’t resist and I knew it would make a great dinner so I got one, for $9.95!
Last stop was at Kauffman’s Lancaster County Produce where Heather purchased Jake & Amos fig jam. Fig jam is awesome with cheese and honey or spread on bread or pita.
Other things I’ve tried —I’ve had amazing coffee with an almond croissant, I’ve purchased crafts and candy, and Heather even bought a wine rack. They have cooking classes, wine tastings, and a Sunday farmers market July - November. The Reading Terminal Market certainly has a lot to offer and it’s fun to try new places each time you pass through!
