uwishunu™ (“you wish you knew”) is Philly’s newest tourism initiative, designed to appeal to an untapped stream of visitors to Philadelphia who are characterized by their desire to “stay like a local” and their near-total use of internet-based tools to research, purchase and plan their travel.
uwishunu™ delivers the hottest, the freshest, the most secret things and places that the artists, filmmakers, writers, DJs, foodies and fashionistas know on a custom blog written by Philadelphia’s own insiders. Check out the blog—and under-the-radar Philly favorites—at uwishunu.com.
