We are excited to kick off our 25th year of Kids Corner at our next Kids Corner Music Festival. We return to the wonderful Union Transfer located at 10th and Spring Garden Streets in Philadelphia for a great morning of music and fun. Joining us for the first time are two incredible bands from two different corners of the United States: one from the Northwest and one from the Southeast!

Back in 2003 when the so-called Loft District was emerging just east of Broad Street between Callowhill and Spring Garden Streets, an eager young couple named Michael and Jeniphur opened a quirky little bruncherie called Cafe Lift in an old loft building on 13th Street. Ten years later, the Pasquarellos still have Cafe Lift and have added two kids, a house, the bar Prohibition Taproom up the block and soon the pizzeria Bufad at 13th and Spring Garden. Lots of brunch spots have followed Cafe Lift into the city, but Lift still knocks ‘em out of the park. Don’t miss the huevos rancheros ($9.50), one of downtown’s best belly fillers.

Cafe Lift, 428 N. 13th St., 215-922-3031. Open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday.

Preserve the full flavor of your next glass of whiskey and don’t risk watering it down with ice. Instead, use these Pennsylvania-made whiskey stones in place of ice.

In addition to diluting your drink, ice will bring your whiskey’s temperature (or any drink for that matter) down into the high 30s, which is far too cold to experience the full flavor of your drink, whereas whiskey stones will bring your beverage to around 50 degrees, which is perfect for enjoying fine spirits.
