Hilary Davidson grew up in Canada, but visited Newfoundland for the first time just last year. "St. John's is truly unique. It's a vibrant city with all of the amenities you'd want. But the friendliness and warmth of the people there make it feel like a small town." Based in New York, Davidson has contributed to magazines as diverse as Discover and Martha Stewart Weddings. She just published her twelfth book, Frommer's New York City Day by Day.
