Italian Market
Markets / Bazaars, South Philadelphia
Fodor's Review:
It's more Naples than Philadelphia: vendors crowd the sidewalks and spill out onto the streets; live crabs and caged chickens wait for the kill; picture-perfect produce is piled high. The market dates to the turn of the last century, when it was founded by Italian immigrants. You'll find fresh pastas, cheeses, spices, meats, fruits and vegetables, and dry goods. These days the market has lost some of its charm; food stalls share the already crowded street with vendors selling dollar-store bargains, but it's still enjoyable to stroll and duck into a cheese or spice shop.
