WCL Named One of 19 Best Things to Do in Philadelphia (Condé Nast Traveler)

“Between its two theaters, this converted Art Deco factory hosts more than 500 music performances annually. Do the math, and it means there’s a show or two to catch almost every day of the year. But World Café Live isn’t the rock venue you threw down at in high school, nor is it a classic music hall: It’s squarely in the hard-to-find in-between space, offering a grown-up concert experience that’s never stuffy. Free tickets are available for the noon shows every Friday, which are broadcast on the in-house public radio station WXPN; just make sure to reserve your seat the week before. Don’t bother grabbing a meal beforehand, either: There’s a solid cafe and bar in-house, so you can get yourself a bite during a show.”
