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.	Sabina Ahmad and Tayyaba Khanoum make fresh nan (bread) and other South Asian dishes.	Japanese-born David Dinh serves sushi lunch.
Watson Parks, from Trinidad and Tobago, sells African jewelry, clothing, and sculptures at his stall.	A Pennsylvania Dutch woman takes payment.	The Reading Terminal Market is a place to see the diversity of America under one roof.
