Eater is thrilled to announce that Rachel Vigoda is the new editor of Eater Philly. Her first day is today.
Vigoda is a longtime Philadelphia-based journalist. She most recently covered arts and entertainment for Philadelphia Magazine, and previously ran the entertainment, going out and nightlife sections of Metro Philadelphia (where she produced expansive coverage of restaurants and food). The travel fanatic, who is currently producing a guidebook to Pennsylvania for Avalon Travel, has spent most of her life in Philadelphia and brings an extensive knowledge of the city’s food scene to the table.
