The Bourse Philadelphia

This is a terrific addition to the food choices in Old City. It’s convenient location, right on Independence Mall, makes it a perfect lunch stop while site-seeing. Full of local and small business restaurants with lots of interesting choices: chicken soup, Filipino, bao buns, Chinese dumplings, sticky buns, Egyptian, craft brews, fried Mac ‘n cheese, Korean tacos, grilled cheese, ice cream, etc.! All in a pretty 1895 building, that was originally a commodities exchange.
