New Itinerary On Gophila.com Coincides With Release of Film Based On Philly Author's Book

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Fans of best-selling novelist Jennifer Weiner have plenty to be excited about this fall as the Philadelphia-based author prepares for a busy season that includes the release of her first film ("In Her Shoes") starring Cameron Diaz, a brand new book ("Goodnight Nobody") and the premiere of her weekend itinerary on http://www.gophila.com/. The two-day, two-night visit is the newest addition to the Itineraries and Tours section of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation's (GPTMC) Web site, http://www.gophila.com/. Weiner joins other celebrity participants, including Donovan McNabb, Bill Cosby, Kevin Bacon and Oprah Winfrey.

Taking visitors from Old City to Rittenhouse Square, "Jennifer Weiner's Weekend of Indulgences" highlights the novelist's favorite spots for splurging. For this on-the-go mom and author, that means satisfying the body, mind and spirit. In the true spirit of indulgence, Weiner suggests shopping at The Papery, pampering at The Body Klinic, dining at Alma de Cuba and unwinding during a performance at the Academy of Music.
