When one thinks of Philadelphia, one cannot help but think of FOOD! Okay—at least I can’t. Philadelphia is known for its Soft Pretzels, Tastycakes, Italian Sandwiches, and the Cheesesteak! However, there is one place that I absolutely recommend while you are at the conference … the Reading Terminal Market. It is just across the street from the Philadelphia Convention Center. So it is just close enough to run and grab lunch.
While there are LOTS of great “stands” within the market—there are a few favorites of mine that I would recommend—Profi’s Creperie which offers both savory and sweet crepes made to order. I strongly recommend nutella, bananas, peanut butter, and strawberries. However, if you insist on having lunch or dinner before desert—try the one that is like a hot Caesar salad wrapped up in a delicious crepe! Another favorite is the “Dutch Eating Place” which offers great “down home” cooking especially for breakfast.
Do you have a favorite place to dine in Philadelphia?

Agreed! The terminal is the best for all things food, and more food. Try to hit it at an off-peak time for meals. Though it always seems to be crowded. China town is not too far at all from the Conference center. Don’t miss out on the noodle shops and dim sum.
