Reading Terminal Market Up For 'Best Public Market' In Public Poll

PHILADELPHIA — The Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia is a marvel of sights, sounds, and of course smells.

From Cajun jambalaya to Greek gyros, barbecue chicken to vegan fare, the Reading Terminal Market has a little bit of everything.

And now fans of the market can help it earn an honor it's earned before.

USA Today has launched voting for its annual "10Best Readers' Choice Awards."

Among the categories open for voting is "Best Public Market."

And Reading Terminal Market is in that category.

Other markets up for the title include Pike Place Market in Seattle, Boston Public Market in Boston, and even Lancaster Central Market right here in Pennsylvania.

Here's what USA Today says about Reading Terminal Market:

The historic Reading Terminal Market has been sustaining Philadelphians since 1893. Naturally, you can grab a cheesesteak, but sushi, crepes, and Pennsylvania Dutch pretzels are also in the mix, along with a host of butchers, bakers, and local makers. Finish it all off with a scoop from Bassetts Ice Cream, the market's first tenant still going strong 130 years on.
