While I appreciate the efforts to get Philly a modern, yet old fashion Farmers Market in Ritt Square, hopefully we can expand it to get more eat-in food booths.
If you have been to the Ferry Building in San Francisco on a saturday morning, you will know exactly what I mean.
There is the guy with the chicken/pig truck. There is a local italian restaurant that has a breakfast tent with a great omelette, there is the smoked fish place and the mexican post that has fabulous breakfast/brunch/lunch along with all the fresh produce, olive oils, breads and more.
Sound yummy? Sure does to me!

My choices on some of Ritt Square's best
Pizza:
Gusto on 22nd Street between Locust and Spruce 215-546-7200. They deliver!
Italian
Melograno on Sansom between 20th and 21st 215-875-8116. BYOB Amazing! tell Rose or Ann that I recommended the place
Chinese
Best- Lee How Fook on 11th Street between Vine and Race (In Chinatown) Great food, no delivery :(
Square on Square on Chestnut between 19th and 20th. They do deliver
Steak
There are plenty of overpriced steak houses, but the steak a Melograno is fabulous
Supermarkets
The in the pinch basic stuff can be found at the market on Spruce near the corner of 18th
Trader Joes is 22nd and Market
DiBrunos (more upscale, but excellent) for Italian specialties and other good stuff, Chestnut between 17th and (closer to) 18th.
Sue Produce- right across from DiBruno 18th Street entrance
Gelato
Capigero- 20th and Sansom.
Seafood
Devon on the East side of Rittenhouse Square (18th Street) between Locust and Walnut
Dry Cleaner
He enjoys being eclectic in his own way, but Arthur (yes, he is French) at Rittenhouse Cleaners at 17th and Pine is an interesting place to bring your shirts, skirts and the I can't fit it in my washing machine stuff.
Coffee
La Colombe for the granita, Starbucks (if you like Starbucks) and LaVa at 21st and South
Breads, etc.
I am a freak for the Metropolitan pumpernickel.
Dive Bar
Bonners at 23rd and Sansom. Home of the Wharton Wildmen's weekly post-hockey beer drinking. Meet a future CEO!
More to come and life in Ritt Square continues!
