Fodor's Review:

Enter the Bourse and you're in another century. The skylighted Great Hall, with its Corinthian columns, marble, wrought-iron stairways, and Victorian gingerbread details, has been magnificently restored. Built in 1895 as a stock exchange, it now houses shops and a food court, where you can grab a cup of cappuccino or a Philly cheesesteak.

This is an older building that's been turned into a shopping and food court spot. Architecturally very interesting and ornate, but otherwise just a glorified mall. Worth a quick peek or for a generic bite, but get your Philly cheesesteaks elsewhere.
