Inside the Bellevue

Your guide to what's new, delicious and fashionable at the Bellevue!

Seen at The Bellevue: The Governor

Or should I say, seen at The Bellevue's Food Court. He's often here, his Philadelphia office is located in The Bellevue but he's been awfully busy with that budget. Today he took a break and stopped by Ellen's Bagels, Hoagies & More for a quick bite.

Take me out to the Bellevue

"Spank The Yanks!!" echoed through the Bellevue this morning for the Phillies rally. Hundreds of Phillies fans gathered today in the lobby of the Bellevue to show support for the fightin' Phillies.

Phillies Ball Girls handed out rally towels to the cheering crowd.

The crowd cheered and chanted "Lets Go Phils" and "Spank the Yanks" while waving their rally towels.

The Phillies Whiz Kids played a number of classic baseball tunes. The crowd waved their towels and sang along as they played "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Daryle Feistman, on the right, and Anna Iredale, on the left, handed out Phillies gear to the lucky raffle winners.

After the raffle the Phillies Whiz Kids led the crowd down to the Food Court. Fans enjoyed complimentary Philly P pretzels while the Phillies Whiz Kids kept the music coming.

Lets Go Phillies!!
