Rachel Vigoda lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she has spent several years covering arts and entertainment, travel, health, and business as an editor for newspapers and magazines. She now writes mostly about her favorite topic: food. When she's not out trying a new restaurant, she's planning her next trip and daydreaming about hanging out with penguins in Antarctica, the only continent she hasn't visited yet. But no destination draws her away from her family in Philly for too long. Moon Pennsylvania is Rachel's first book.
