A fun read!

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.

fantastic guide for philadelphians and visitors

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.

True Brotherly Love

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!

Penn and Ben would be proud

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.

interesting and informative

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.
