We spent time with our German friends, Uli and Uli, in Philadelphia this weekend. The City of Brotherly Love. Or so they say. While we really enjoyed the food and sights, we didn't so much enjoy the people we encountered. There were a lot of rude people. More than I ever met in NYC. Is that possible??
Regardless, one of the best places we spent time in is the Reading Terminal Market. It is an amazing indoor market where you can find anything from hot pancakes and freshly roasted turkey sandwiches to lobsters, cheese, Amish bread and baby books. All in an enclosed space that beautifully mixes together the smells of a European-style market. We browsed through the stands and enjoyed an Amish-made brunch.
I highly recommend this place if you ever stop by Philly. Oh, and don't forget the cheese steak. We had one downtown and while I felt my arteries clogging it was so worth it!
Here's to the City of Brotherly Love - and to friendlier inhabitants in the future.
