Suppose you went to lunch in Center City Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market, underneath what used to be the Reading Railroad train shed. Well, you would have a choice of ethnic foods: Mexican, Italian, African-American soul food, Pennsylvania Dutch (actually Deutsch that is, German), Chinese, Jewish, Middle Eastern, Thai, Indian-Pakistani, Greek, French, Japanese. And then there's dessert.
More than 100,000 people every week sample fare from the 80 vendors at the Reading Terminal Market.
