Guides were developed with a visitor’s perspective in mind – defining the neighborhoods as a visitor would see them and including historical and cultural highlights, attractions, restaurants and retail options.
The goal is to showcase diverse local businesses while providing visitors with a larger number of experiences that they can tailor to their own specific interests.
The bureau is encouraging people to post Instagram photos of things they feel a visitor would enjoy.
