I just found out that the New Phillies in Haebangchon has been sold and they will be undergoing reconstruction to transform it into a sports bar. If it will keep the name is still yet undetermined. The previous bar was named Phillies, so for the future bar to be called, "The New NEW Phillies" might be a bit ridiculous. The original Phillies, which had its heyday about 5 years ago as a local bar and brunch restaurant, was sold to Y (Yoryang Kim) and another owner. Y bought out the primary owner and has recently sold the bar to an unnamed buyer. Y still owns Jacoby's, HBC's burger restaurant. I also learned that Jacoby's is planning on opening another location in the next year. Does anyone know what's going on with Wing Bakery? I heard that its the owner of Gecko's Bar that started the operation on the main street on the Gyeongnidan side but the shop in Haebangchon, opened and then quickly closed up. Rumor has it that there was problems with equipment. C...

Berlin. On top of the hill across from McDonalds in Itaewon. They make a decent martini, but the best thing about this place is the view. It overlooks the Itaewon Street. After the classy Berlin Bar, I ended up at my local bar: Phillies. After a beer and a shot (I had to get Crown Royal because they don't carry Jameson any more- BOOO!). The wings are great. They are big, cooked all the way through and the sauce is spicy and vinegary- just the way I like it.

Go Phillies! AGAIN! Here is post I wrote a couple years ago, but I found many people were searching for it because it is almost halloween and because the Phillies are in contention to be the world champions. GO PHILLIES. WIN IT ALL Dan Oh, my god, I can't believe it! The Phillies, the team that I grew up Loving/hating is in the world series. I grew up in Delaware and these guys sucked for so many years, but I still had the hat and gear. Oh, and I got tons of autographs from car dealerships because my Dad thought it was the All-American thing to do. I do miss Mike Schmidt. He was my hero growing up and he was the only one on the team that could actually play. The next iteration of champions came during the Lenny Dykstra, John Kruk era- or what I would like to call the "Beer Belly Era." This was when my sister Jill was in love with the Phillies (guys, she is beautiful, but she likes Truck Drivers and Wrestler Type Guys((Love you, sis)). Anyway, Go Phillies! Win it ...
