Italian Market (South 9th Street) - longstanding open-air market corridor

Philadelphia's Italian Market centers on South 9th Street in South Philadelphia and grew in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a corridor of immigrant-owned food businesses, grocers, and specialty shops. The area remains an active open-air market and commercial district with many multi-generational family-owned vendors offering Italian and international foods. The market is a key element of South Philadelphia's culinary and neighborhood culture.
