Visitors Guide to University City
University
City District (UCD) has recently
published its second edition of the University City
Visitors Guide--comprehensive yet compact, with information
on arts and culture, dining, lodging, shopping, and attractions.
The guide contains 28 color pages with
over 70 restaurants and cafes, 30 galleries, museums and
cultural venues, 4-star hotels and Victorian bed and breakfasts,
unique shops, and information on residential neighborhoods
boasting century old architecture.
"We're very proud of our new visitor's
guide, which showcases all of the exciting things that
University City has to offer," said Eric T. Goldstein,
UCD's executive director.
Mr. Goldstein
added, "also new to this
version is the addition of over 25 new retail establishments
and for the first time, a comprehensive listing of the
area's arts and cultural venues. University City is experiencing
unprecedented momentum in these areas and investment is
happening at an exceptional rate."
The handy
guide features a fold-out map with numbered key; subway
and trolley lines; public parking; shopping corridors;
University City neighborhood history; restaurants, cafes,
ethnic groceries, and farmers markets; museums, galleries,
and public art; shopping; hotels and B & Bs; recreation
(ice skating, movies); hospitals and health services.
