(03/29/22 1:06pm)
The shops, businesses, and curbside vendors that line 9th Street—better collectively known as the “Italian Market”—have been a hallmark of South Philadelphia for over 100 years. The Italian Market is open every day of the week and offers a vast array of food products, including fresh produce, cheeses, meats, and seafood that color the outdoor stands and street–side stores during the early hours of the day. Local restaurant gems and specialty stores that sell items like pasta, spices, and baked goods are also an integral part of the South Philly food shopping hub.
