As if this place was not awesome enough already, Reading Terminal Market is expanding what is known as their “Eastern End” into multifunctional space.

Here are some highlights of the project:

• Additional retail space for more successful vendors.
• A demonstration kitchen for classes and the like.
• Event space for meetings, parties, etc.
• Expanded and renovated restrooms.
• A permanent, museum-esque display of the Market’s history.
• Estimated completion date: April 2012.

The Reading Terminal Market is an enormous, diverse, urban market in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. From produce, poultry, and baked goods to cheesesteaks and Amish food, RTM has it all.
