Entry No. 8 — the Philadelphia file — filed under: apothecary

Herbiary

A dense little herbal apothecary tucked inside the historic Reading Terminal Market, selling bulk teas, incense, soaps, and essential oils out of a stall its owners describe as 'an oasis for the senses' amid the market's produce stands and cheesesteak lines.

The move: Get a custom loose-tea blend mixed to order, then wander the rest of the Terminal Market with your bag of herbs and a shared soft pretzel — a strange little ritual stop inside a very unstrange food hall.
