This open-air market has been here forever. It is still strongly ethnic, not just Italian. There are Koreans, Indians and Pakistanis. My favorite is Villa de Roma, a no-frills, down-home place.

Also try Tortilleria San Roman at 951 S. 9th! FRESH, homemade tortillas daily. The blue corn tortillas and chips are to die for but get there early on the weekends because they sell out quick.

This is my favorite place in Philadelphia! Great produce at reasonable prices. Try going on a food tour of the Italian Market, it's a great way to try the original places but also Asian and Mexican.

Opened in the 1880s by Antonio Palumbo, the Italian Market is America's Oldest Outdoor Market. While the Italian fare remains great, it's also home to some of the best Mexican and Asian food in town.

Many places in the market are cash only. Make sure to have some on hand. If buying produce, check out a few stands before selecting. The next one always seems to have better deals and product

Get a bag from the bag guy.
