What a beautiful place! I'm still a Reading Terminal man, but this is another feather in Philadelphia's cap.

I hated the old food court there, and a few locals would tell me how great it was. Cheap doesn't always mean "good". Glad to see the changes.

It's great! Very impressed with what was done with it. Tourists are going too.

RTM is a different kind place.

Fine. But unless you're one of them most of them will outlive you and me. And many of the tourists I see going in there aren't millennials. They 're middle-aged or older. All of the millennials I know work. It's mostly an office building, btw.

I agree. RTM is a marketplace, the Bourse is a really nice food hall. I think they compliment each other very well.

Anyone who is making negative comments about the Bourse either...
A) does not like change
B) Does not like positive change in the city
C) Does not like Millennials.

Again, can't rep you (sometimes this board's you-gotta-spread-the-love feature annoys me), but what you said.

I’ll be honest I’m a little underwhelmed by the Bourse food hall but it’s obviously much better than what was there before so I’m not complaining.

It looks inviting. and you know "tourist" are not horrible walking dead people. Most of them are looking for great places to eat also.

I'm off this week, I think I may go take some pictures on Friday and give it a try.

The attitude surrounding B) and C) simply astounds me. It suggests, to me anyway, that some people have really forgotten how important young engaged people are wrt the future. Not just locally but everywhere.

The new Bourse is about as far from dreck as anything could be. The old Bourse was dreck.

We have a TON of coffee shops or coffee options in restaurants....I love coffee. But the Bourse has a tea bar. Americans don't really drink tea so for most that would be "meh". For me that's a major reason for going there. Hopefully Brits who do visit here will find it.
