     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.
