This Saturday marks one year since the first ever Women’s March, the largest demonstration in the history of the world. Beginning at 10:30 a.m., thousands of women will take to the streets in Philadelphia for the second annual Women’s March on Philadelphia on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. But where will you go if you get hungry? We’ve come up with a few delicious places to fuel up for a day of resisting, persisting and rising.
