Tonight is Hillary Clinton's night, and the Democrats are planning to party.

I got to the DNC early so I could get on the floor. I'm glad I got in when I did, because singer Katy Perry was just starting her run-through. I watched as she went through the movements for "Rise" and "Roar." There was a huge crowd on the floor below the stage, many photographers, but some were delegates, staffers and volunteers. The girls were squealing.

After she left, I talked to a couple of the volunteers. One man told me Carole King was coming. Now, I have (mostly) maintained my composure, but I got more than a little excited for this. King, one of the most prolific songwriters of our time, is someone I've long wanted to see. The man shared my enthusiasm.

The other guy asked, "Who?"

"Get out," I replied.

In fairness, he was 16. Wait — no, no, there's just no excuse.

At 2:30 p.m., all media members without a floor pass were supposed to get off the floor. I was chatting with a spokesman for "Got Your 6" when I caught a flash of frizzy white-blond hair. I'd know that hair anywhere.

I ran to the stage and began snapping pics furiously. She worked through movements, then went up and talked to the house band, then came down and talked the back-up singers through the tempo. "Give it a bit more church," she'd say, and I would just smile. 

Then she sang "You've Got a Friend" for the crowd, and we sang along. 

Bernie Sanders people are fired up, too. Many are willing to leave the campaign behind, as Sanders had asked, to vote for Clinton. Not all, but many.

At least some Sanders people will be wearing green shirts in his honor in the audience tonight. Look for them.

The campaign is throwing a party when it's all over at the nearby club complex.

Foodie paradise

One thing I will miss about Philadelphia is the food. Not that I don't eat well in Orlando (too well), but the work tables are overflowing with pretzels and the cheesesteaks were great. You definitely are not wanting for something to try.

That's why Saundra Weathers and I followed Sanders delegate Ricky Ly around Tuesday. Among other things, Ly is a prominent Orlando food writer, the guy behind the Tasty Chomps food blog.

We thought it was weird when Ly decided to go to only one place. But as we found out, the Reading Terminal Market is a foodie paradise.

The market, founded in 1892, is the most visited place in Philadephia, according to Anuj Gupta, the general manager. In the '90s, the building was falling apart, and the market almost became a parking lot for the convention center nearby. Instead, the city helped renovate, and now it's not just a market. Gupta says it's a place where the community comes together.

The award-winning Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers program brings different groups from all over the community together to eat and talk about issues. Gupta says it's been helpful in bringing the community together — over food.

And what food! Kosher next to cheesesteaks next to Thai next to German next to Dutch Amish (actually that kind of makes sense). Fishmongers and cheesemongers and vegetables. All local businesses, too.

Ricky, Saundra and I picked up some red curry salmon from The Little Thai Market, a pork sandwich from DiNic's (voted one of the best sandwiches in America) and an apple dumpling and a slice of shoo-fly pie from the Dutch Eating Place. All delicious, but I gotta say the salmon especially blew my mind — and Saundra's, who professed a desire to eat the dish every day.
