One of our favorite places to get local food is being honored for its culture!

The America Planning Association (APA) honored Reading Terminal Market today as one of the 10 Great Public Spaces in America for 2014.

As one of the places deemed for “exemplary character, quality, and planning”, Reading Terminal Market is recognized the ability to “represent the gold standard in terms of cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow. 

You don’t have to tell us how awesome Reading Terminal Market is – we already know!
