"When you’re at Pearl’s, you can pretend for a second that you’re not in Reading Terminal Market. Not because it’s shut off from the rest of the space or in a particularly secluded corner, but because you can sit down on a barstool and order big platters of raw seafood. Make sure you order some briny oysters, which should be followed by a bowl of their excellent snapper soup in the winter." - candis mclean, alison kessler
