Other places not mentioned: Trader Joe's on Arch and Broad St., just a block from City Hall, depending where you are in Rittenhouse and around the corner, Reading Terminal Market. The Arch St. TJ does not get as crowded as the one on Market, which is always crowded. Also, on 19th and Spruce there is a small grocery store "Food and Friends." I've never shopped in it but passed it many times. Also between 15th and 16th on Spruce, another small market, Spruce Market. I used to get bread at Metropolitan Bakery on right off Rittenhouse Sq. There are so many places to go in walking distance--however prices might be higher than you are used to. One of my friends in the Northeast laughs when I talk about how cheap the produce is in the Italian Market compared to all the grocery stores I can walk to. Where they shop in the Northeast is cheaper than the Italian Market, which is the cheapest you can get walking distance (a hike) from Rittenhouse. Reading Terminal Market has some good deals but still not as cheap.
