Person
Mary Mihaly has spent more than 20 years exploring Philadelphia's neighborhoods, restaurants, boutiques, museums and rich history. Its suburbs, too--from Main Line towns to Bucks County--captured her attention. Now based in Cleveland, Mihaly has written about Philly and other cities for Playboy, Miami Herald, New York Post, Country Living, Northern Ohio Live and other prestigious publications, and she shares the best of those insights in this Insider's Guide.
