From the Publisher
As USA Today said in a recent article, this city
has gone "from Rocky to rockin''."
Building on its place as the historic center of America,
Philadelphia keeps adding attractions that make some call it New
York City''s "sixth borough"-top-notch art houses in the Barnes
Foundation and the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Independence
National Historic Park; the runner''s paradise of Fairmount Park
and its 8,900 acres; and some exceptional hotels, restaurants, and
pubs.
Frommer''s Philadelphia Day by Day will guide readers
through this revitalized Philadelphia, quickly and with an
insider''s knowledge of the one-of-a-kind experiences that lurk in
the city''s many vibrant neighborhoods. With hundreds of color
photos, dozens of annotated maps and walking tours, thematic tours
for every taste and star-rated advice on where to eat, stay, shop,
and have fun, this book is the perfect accompaniment to any visit
to the city.
