SPOTLIGHT

NIGHT MARKET A corner of the Science Center campus was transformed into a street food festival one rainy night in June 2011, as we hosted the Philadelphia Night Market. Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes and Food Network fame, Iron Chef Jose Garces’ gourmet Guapos Tacos, and lesser known (but equally delicious) vendors helped demonstrate that Philly is indeed a great food town – no matter what your budget.
