From the introduction:
"The New York Times once called its neighbour ‘the next borough’, a nickname that outraged many locals. And with good reason. The first capital of the United States is a sophisticated, vibrant city that is once again coming into its own, thanks to a young, diverse and creative population. Its districts are distinctive and peppered with excellent restaurants and one-off boutiques and ateliers. Philly is refreshingly unpretentious, and its quirky, self-effacing attitude is what makes this place so alluring."
