Author Irene Levy Baker will present
her book Unique Eats and Eateries of Philadelphia: sweet and spicy stories
behind 90 not-to-be-missed restaurants in the Philadelphia region. Discover how
two chocolatiers got engaged; hear about dinners interrupted by bungled mob
hits; restaurants that survived a fire, an earthquake and even Prohibition; a
secret restaurant that began in a backyard tent, and more. Learn how to
get reservations at trendy restaurants and find your way into secret
speakeasies. Find the most sinful desserts, where senior citizens dine with
college seniors, where to taste goat, and where you can spot celebrities
too.
Irene Levy Baker, also the author of 100 Things To Do In Philadelphia Before You Die, has spent more than 25 years eating her way through
Philadelphia’s restaurants. After working at the Philadelphia Convention &
Visitors Bureau, she opened Spotlight Public Relations, a public relations firm
specializing in restaurants and hospitality. What she has learned working
one-on-one with chefs, restaurant owners, food writers, and diners will satisfy
your appetite for a good meal and a great story.

will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
