Moon Philadelphia: Including Pennsylvania Dutch Country

This guidebook to Philadelphia is the most well organized one I've found. It's really easy to find exactly what you're looking for -- whether it's a great restaurant, or the story behind a particular neighborhood. It even has great maps. I liked it because it struck a balance -- including history and flavor without letting the stories get in the way of the usefulness. A great choice for getting to know Philly.

i really enjoyed this book! as a philadelphia native and fan of my city, i didn't think i needed someone to tell me what to do. this book is full of great tips on things to do, places to see and i use it often for restaurant ideas. thanks to gavin, i am enjoying my city in new ways.

This book makes me love Philadelphia even more - and I live here! Gavin makes me want to skip work and jump a double decker bus to tour this fine city and experience the pages of her book personally. What a fine Xmas gift this will make for the entire family!

I have lived in Philly my whole life and am a very proud Philadelphian. I love reading up on my home town. When I came across "Moon Philadelphia" in the book store I was shocked at the amount of useful information crammed into this book. Gavin's work is so easy to read and comes from a local point of view that it is head and shoulders above any other guidebook I've read. This book is a must buy for any Philadelphian, new, old or visiting for the first time.

Having just recently moved to Philadelphia, this book has proved to be extremely useful. There's a lot of practical yet interesting information that has increased my appreciation for this great city. Accompanied with a wealth of data, pictures and maps, Gavin's enthusiasm is apparent with her insider's guide to this historic town. I would recommend this book to any visitor or Philadelphia resident new and old.
