The Pennsylvania General Store is located at the historic Reading Terminal Market, an indoor farmers market which first opened its doors in 1892 and still flourishes today. Featuring over 80 vendors, two of them descendants from original stand holders of a century ago, it’s a vibrant, bustling place. You can find gourmet take-out, PA Dutch baked goods, local honey, handmade jewelry and clothing and lots more. Stop by at lunchtime to enjoy real Philly food. It’s a great place for people-watching.

While at the Pennsylvania General Store you might want to also check out their wide selection of Jonathan’s wooden utensils. This is the most gorgeous line of wooden spoons, spatulas, forks and other items you will ever see. Crafted in a small town outside of Philly, these pieces are all hand-made from cherry wood and are almost too beautiful to use. But definitely do use them, as they are smartly designed and exceedingly functional in the kitchen. See you can have it all! Average cost $20.00

Be sure and browse the Terminal and then finish off your tour with a Philly tradition, Bassett’s ice cream!
