  • Reading Terminal Market - From roast pork sandwiches to doughnuts, Reading Terminal Market truly has something for everyone. Established in 1892, Reading Terminal is one of the nation's oldest operating markets.

 

  • Pat’s and Geno’s Steaks - A trip to Philly wouldn’t be complete without a philly cheesesteak! In 1930, Pat's founder, Pat Olivieri, created the very first philly cheesesteak. 36 years later, Geno’s opened on the opposite side of the street proclaiming they had mastered the sandwich. Take your pick or try both!
