Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Blue Bell Area

"From Bassett’s Ice Cream to Beiler’s Donuts to El Merkury’s pupusas and Hershel’s pastrami sandwiches, Reading Terminal Market is a giant destination for many of the affordable eats this city has to offer. Whether the mood strikes for a roast pork sandwich from DiNic’s or an Amish-style soft pretzel from Miller’s Twist, the only mistake one can make at Reading Terminal is going there already full. The market is open daily from 8 .a.m to 6 p.m."

"It’s in the back of the building — follow the green signs — and has a long line of shiny stalls (no wait time, even at lunch), plus automatic sinks and powerful hand dryers.

"I am not as crazy as to ask you to take a taxi just for the sake of ice cream: this awesome ice cream shop is located right next to Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens and that’s the next stop on our itinerary. First of all, I couldn’t miss a café with such a catchy name. I know it’s temping, but don’t ask the counterperson what’s so gay about this ice cream and whether eating it is going to make you gay. Apparently, they get asked these questions a lot, so the answer is printed on the menu."

Shoppers can wander from one shop to the next to bargain hunt, or to search for that special piece with the look they've been dreaming about."
