About City Kitchen at the Reading Terminal Market
City Kitchen is the event kitchen inside Reading Terminal Market, the historic public market in the center of Philadelphia. The Market has been housed since 1893 in a National Historic Landmark building, right across the street from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. City Kitchen runs under the event management of All About Events.
There is no single house chef. The Market partners with its own merchants, Philadelphia's culinary education organizations, and established and up-and-coming chefs and instructors. Together they put on public events, private events and virtual culinary experiences. What gets taught depends on who is leading the session, so check the current calendar before you plan around a particular cuisine.
It suits locals and visitors who want a food event in the middle of the Market, with produce, meat, seafood, bakery and Pennsylvania Dutch stands a short walk from the kitchen. City Kitchen holds a 4.8 rating on Google from 9 reviews. For private bookings, call All About Events at 267-534-4707.
