Penn and Ben would be proud
24 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
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
24 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
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.

Great for visitors, new residents and college students and parents
13 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
I got this as a gift when I moved to Philly to attend Penn and it has been extremely helpful as I get to know the city. The maps and public transit info are easy to use and the background information and neighborhood descriptions are really accurate from what I have seen. The book was written by a local and the personality of the neighborhoods and people really comes through in the writing. The restaurant section offers a diverse sampling of some of the best spots in every price range and the nightlife listings are great. I have taken the time to see many of Philly's historic attractions, which I might not have bothered to do, because they sound so interesting in the book. I have convinced many friends to see not just the Liberty Bell, but places like Eastern State Penitentiary and the Masonic Temple, that most of my them have never even heard about. I regularly consult the book when picking a restaurant or bar or looking for something new to do on weekends. It's great when family or friends come to visit and I know all the best places to show them. My parents always borrow it while they are here and they too have found it really helpful. I'd recommend this it to anyone moving here or just visiting Philadelphia.
