All food-loving visitors to Philadelphia should visit Center City's, Reading Terminal Market, but I think much of their business comes from the local resident like me. It is good source for meats, breads and produce as well as eat-at-the-counter sandwiches. A list of the merchants can be retrieved from their website, so I won't list them all here. I will comment on the merchants I have visited.
Suggestion: before buying, walk around, there is a lot to see and it can be criss-crossed in 20 minutes or so.
1. Giunta's Prime Shop. Excellent choice of meats including hard to find prime cuts. The prices are good as well. Locally made sausages.
2. Metropolitan Bakery. Very good croissants and breads.
3. Dinic's. Beef and pork sandwiches. This place is good.
4. Old City Coffee. Sorry, go to La Columbe.
5. Bassett's Ice Cream. Hard to beat.
6. Down Home Diner. Mentioned before in another post. Click here: Down Home Diner. It is good.
The Amish communities have a whole section of the Market. They are open Wednesday - Saturday. Their produce is very good and their restaurants are good as well. I have not tried all of their products but I get the impression that everything is fresh and locally grown.
