R5 productions puts on some of the coolest shows in town. Check before you visit. Also check DIY Philly.
There are two alternative weeklies. One is Philadelphia Weekly. The other is CityPaper. Holly Eats has a great rundown of Philly food.

Where to stay
For the budget conscious, the Chamounix Mansion Hotel, located in the middle of Fairmount Park, offers clean, dormitory-style rooms for between $22 per night. Its a hostel. Recent reviews say its clean but not that convienient
The SEPTA regional train system goes from the City Center to the suburbs, as does the rather limited subway system. The trains, however, along with the extensive city bus system, stop running at midnight, and cost $2.25 one way. New Yorkers can get there fairly cheap by taking the NJ Transit train to Trenton from Penn Station, and then transfer at Trenton to the SEPTA train to Philly. It costs about 29 dollars, about half as much as Amtrak.
Philly is a city based on squares. Figure out which one you are staying on and how to get back to it, and you won’t have a problem finding your way around.
