Tourism Board Travel: Google Map Holiday Shopping in Philly

December 12, 2007 at 11:00 AM | 0 Comments

You totally haven't started your Christmas shopping, have you? Well the Philadelphia tourism board is here to help with a hotel deal and a pre-made gift list, featuring Philly-centric gifts that range from ties to cookbooks to handmade chocolate truffles. If you're gonna have to shop for all your friends and family, shouldn't you get a trip out of it?

To make things easier, the tourism board has a new Google map mashup, highlighting all the boutiques featured on the shopping list. (This map won't get you as tipsy as the last one they put together.)

You'll have some left over spending money, too, if you take advantage of the $50 holiday discount at a bunch of the city's hotels. With the discount, we dug up a deal on a two-night stay for this weekend at the Loews Philadelphia for just $269, including taxes. Just be sure to type in the promo code "HOLIDAYS" when booking.
