Fodor's Expert Review The Bourse Food Hall

Built in 1895 as a stock, maritime, and commodities exchange, the Bourse building is an icon of Philadelphia commerce. The skylighted Great Hall, with its Corinthian columns, marble, wrought-iron stairways, and Victorian gingerbread details, has been meticulously maintained, but the space has also been updated to house an internationally inspired food hall with local roots. Stop in for specialty coffee from Menagerie, modern Filipino cuisine from LALO, creative comfort food from Grubhouse, grilled cheeses from Mighty Melt, and dozens of other lunch and early-dinner options.
