Overview
First-time visitors and transplants will discover the city’s must-see attractions, including the Reading Terminal Market and the new Museum of the American Revolution along with Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, Mural Arts tours and Spruce Street Harbor Park, and other only-in-Philadelphia sights. Born and raised on cheesesteaks? This book takes long-time Philadelphians to under-the-radar spots, from an old fashioned rodeo to a former opera house turned modern venue for A-list performers, up 60 floors to indulge in cocktails and then down a tiny alley to visit the city’s oldest tavern.
Author Irene Levy Baker shares secrets she’s learned while working in Philadelphia’s hospitality industry for nearly three decades. Find out why Philadelphia was the only city in the United States to make National Geographic’s list of best places to visit. And don’t miss out on the fun!
