Head over to 13th Street and down a graffiti stricken alleyway to this cool outdoor patio with long high-top tables. Maybe don't get sucked into ordering a fish-bowl, but definitely try the food (from Sampan's kitchen) which comes out super fast.

Food Halls
While this old train station turned market can get a bit touristy, Reading Terminal has some of the best food in the city. The Amish Place and Beilers Donuts are your go-to's for breakfast; lunch, hit up DiNic's for a roast pork sandwich (with sharp prov and greens) or Sang Kee for some peking duck. If you prefer to cook, they've got everything you need.
