by Debbie V. on I went early on Saturday for the beginners salsa class (I needed a refresher), and it was by far the best FREE salsa class I've ever taken, granted I've taken private lessons before. So here's why, 1) To my surprise, there were more male to female ratio during the class, which works to our advantage! 2) I loved that the instructor had us rotate with over 10 different guys to get use to dancing with different partners/styles. 3) It was very diverse and people were so nice. Other things to highlight, - Even though it's open to all ages, with a wristband you can purchase alcoholic drinks at the bar! - The live band plays great music - Ladies, men are not afraid to ask you to dance! - Men were very respectful on and off the dance floor (with the exception of one man who got a little too excited to dance with me...) Things I wasn't so excited about, - $3 for water (bottled only) - $15 cover
by Meg B. on I have never been disapointed at the World Cafe. Whether I'm grabbing drinks and apps during their fabulous happy hours ( can't beat $3 glasses of wine and $1 apps!) or watching an amazing show downstairs for no more than $20 ( just saw the hotel cafe tour this past Friday, one of the best shows I've seen there!) . The venue is clean (including the bathrooms which is major!). Parking is free !!!! Another great thing to do is the free at noons. XPN runs this but to see a great act such as Damien Rice for free is awesome! World Cafe is by far my favorite venue to see a show in the city!
