The church of Pentecost Trenton district Assembly had good time cruising the gospel cruise on May 10th 2013, from the beginning to the end. Our sincere gratitude goes to Vivian Cabrera who worked with us tolerantly, she was very professional, had patience, we began with 30 people and ended up with 107 people. Along the way she had to change... More

I highly recommend that you visit the Reading Terminal Market, with 80 food vendors. There is something for everyone. Cheesesteaks, wraps, chocolate, fruit and vegetables, balsamic dressing, subs and hoagies, Chinese, and much, much more. You will probably have to wait for a table to sit at, but eventually someone will get up and you can take their place. Such... More

Reading Terminal Market is always a great place to visit to shop or eat but now there's a special reason to visit. The new Beiler's Donuts, tucked away in the northwest corner(near 12th and Arch) features some real tasty treats. The rest of the Market is still great but if you don't like crowds or noise, consider an early mornong... More

Cool place with so many choices. You can eat there, but there are also a lot of shops where you can buy fresh bread, meat, fish, etc. And all that with the nustloing athmosphere of a market hall.

It is great for gathering inexpensive spices and ingredients or prepared meals. It can be packed at lunchtime and weekends which is a con. Get there when the Amish are open...they have pretty much the best everything. Ribs, open faced ruben sandwiches.."all american" food. Not comfort food for me but I still tear ir up. And of course if you... More

love the excitement, the colors, the displays, the Amish venders, the options! Hate when it's crowded, which can be a nightmare, but going to reading terminal is always special.

If you've been to Faneuil Hall in Boston, use that as a reference point but realize this market is BETTER. Any visitor to the convention center must stop by the market. Tremendous selection of food. You won't find much in the way of other gift items here.

My husband and I were in Philly for a convention. Reading is right across the street from the Convention Center. We had a Philly sandwich there and a pork sandwich at Di Nics. They were both good! Also we had the pastry goods from the Pennsylvania Dutch. They are not there on Sunday or Monday. We were there on Saturday... More

The variety of places is great. From fresh meats, veggies, seafood,and home baked goodies to places to eat. Dinic's was what we picked this trip and we were not disappointed. The pork sandwich I got was really good. My boyfriend got the sausage sandwich with hot and sweet peppers...must say it tasted like something my mum mum would make. Just... More

Was in town for a business trip at the convention center. The Reading Market was right there conveniently located. The number of choices was overwhelming. I did try a Philly Cheesesteak which was good but not great. A friend of mine went with some ice cream which was excellent. The experience was the draw for me. I wish I had... More
