Fodor's Review:

When the Reading Company opened their train shed in 1892, it was the only one in the country with a market tucked away in its cellar. The trains are long gone but the food remains. And while disagreeing over the best cheesesteak is a popular pastime in Philly, pretty much everyone can agree on pancakes at the Dutch Eating Place, the roast pork sandwich at Dinic's, cupcakes at the Flying Monkey, and double chocolate-chip cookies at Famous 4th Street. Get here early to beat the lunch rush. Hours are 8-6 Monday-Saturday, and 9-4 on Sunday.
