Near Marriott Downtown. Suggestions for Lunch.

We're staying at the Marriott Downtown and looking for a lunch place for tomorrow. Something casual, not touristy, "gotta have it" type of food when visiting Philly. Any suggestions?

    The Reading Terminal Market. There are tourists aplenty, however, it's a real place that residents go to. Get in line at Dinic's and have a roast pork with greens and sharp provolone. Or, search the board for everyone else's favs.

      Thank you. That's what I'm talking about.

      Ok, what's everyone's favorite meal at the Reading Terminal Market?

        Roast pork is a must. I also like pretzels from the Dutch ice cream stand and Famous 4th Street chocolate chip cookies.

          Thanks for the rec.

          Stood in line for about 10 minutes at DiNic's for my Italian Pulled Pork with Rabe and Sharp Provolone, wet. It was so good. Went back this morning for a Breakfast Po' Boy at Becks and some Beignet's. Had the Pepper's and Egg Po' Boy. Both were really good.
