PHILADELPHIA, September 7, 2005 - 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), a brand new book
(Goodnight Nobody) and the premiere of her weekend
itinerary on
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,
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.
The full tour is now available at
