One of the nation’s oldest and largest public marketplaces, Reading Terminal Market is a Philadelphia must-visit spot. The bustling indoor food hall features dozens of family-owned vendors, many operating in much the same manner as when the market first opened in 1892.

The foodie haven’s 80-plus merchants offer an astonishing variety, including hefty hoagies like the Stuffin’ Cranberry at The Original Turkey and Roast Pork & Beef at DiNic’s, international dishes from Little Thai Market and El Merkury, brunch options at Dutch Eating Place or Ma Lessie’s Chicken & Waffles, tons of bakery goods from Beiler’s or Termini Brothers and, of course, cheesesteaks.

The globally inspired ready-to-eat food is the main draw, while other providers offer meats, produce, cheeses, chocolates and more, perfect for make-at-home meals.

The sights and sounds and endless rows of vendors can make it tough to decide what to order. Start with this guide to the market’s top 17 bites (with help from this handy market map).
