Tonight

Posted by Foobooz on 2nd October 2008

Our oh-so-smart readers have come up with some good places to watch the debate tonight. But of course before the debate is game two of the Phillies and Brewers. GoPhila.com has ten suggestions on where to watch that.

Oh and we just found this, vice-presidential debate drinking games.

One More Reason To Love CBP

Posted by Foobooz on 23rd June 2008

$6.75 for a beer may not seem like a great deal but it turns out that price makes Citizens Bank Park the cheapest in the majors! In the Bronx you can spend $10 for a Miller Lite.

More Praise For Citizens Bank Park

Posted by Foobooz on 9th June 2008

Tony Luke\'s at the Cit

Last year Citizens Bank Park received lots of praise for its food from everyone from PETA to the Food Network. And the praise continues as the New York Times sung our ballpark’s praises in Sunday’s travel section.

But the prize for vernacular food probably goes to Citizens Bank Park, the four-year-old home of the Philadelphia Phillies. Most of the action takes place in Ashburn Alley (named for the Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn), a brick promenade behind center field where fans can practically hang over the visitors’ bullpen or dine under the giant Liberty Bell sign that lights up and rocks back and forth when the Phillies hit a home run.

Ashburn Alley is home to hoagies, Chickie & Pete’s crab fries (French fries dusted with Old Bay seasoning) and two of the city’s respected cheese steak purveyors, Rick’s Steaks and Tony Luke’s. Tony Luke’s had the better cheese steak of the two (though their other locations are notably superior). Even better is Tony Luke’s juicy roasted pork and provolone sandwich, dressed with tender broccoli rabe, as good a meat sandwich as there is in the majors.

Also not to be missed is the Schmitter sandwich from McNally’s, an outpost of an 87-year-old Germantown tavern at the end of Ashburn Alley. It’s not named for the Phillies legend Mike Schmidt, but rather, I was told, after a long-gone McNally’s customer who always ordered it with Schmidt’s Beer, the now-defunct Pennsylvania brand.

The Schmitter packs, from top to bottom: melted cheese, a generous squirt of a “special sauce,” griddled salami, more cheese, sliced tomato, fried onions, griddled steak and another slice of cheese, just to help keep the beef in place. It was the unhealthiest thing I encountered on my cholesterol-gathering trip, an unholy alliance of meats, cheese and mayonnaise tucked into a Kaiser roll. It was also impossible to stop eating after the first bite.

Phillies At 3 Today

Posted by Foobooz on 3rd October 2007

MVP!

Hey maybe you heard, the Phillies made the playoffs. And like many of you we plan on doing as little work as possible this afternoon and jetting out early. Interestingly we have not been bombarded with bars doing drink deals. But we’ll give a shout out to a couple who did contact us.

Barristers Bar & Grille will be doing their typical Phillies specials including $1 hot dogs. And these are nicely grilled dogs, not some nasty boiled variety.

Lucky Strike also got word to us that they are doing half-priced appetizers and drink deals during all Phillies playoff games.

And the people have spoken suggesting Moriarty’s as a good spot to watch the game.

Vegetarian Homerun

Posted by Foobooz on 8th August 2007

Citizens Bank Park is a long way from the horrid food at Veterans Stadium, recently having been named best ballpark for eats by Food TV. Now the home of the Phillies has received another accolade, Top Vegetarian-Friendly Ballpark.

The veggie dog and flame-grilled Gardenburger were enough to earn Citizens Bank Park a place on the roster of last year’s survey. But this year’s addition of the Philly mock-steak sandwich–and the rave reviews it has received from vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike who pile on the grilled onions, mushrooms, peppers, and hot sauce–put the Phillies over the top. The stadium also offers vegetarian subs and wraps, tomato pizza (no cheese, please), fruit cups, salads, and, for the kids, PB&J.

Dogs Beat Fine Fare

Posted by Foobooz on 4th May 2007

Rick Nichols heads to Citizens Bank Park to figure out what all the hullabaloo is about the food at the ballpark, The Cit was recently named the best in ballpark eats by the Food Network. Rick finds another great tip out as well, on dollar dog night the usual 2 inning line for the non-dog vendors is practically gone.
