The home runs are in food, fashion and fan fun.

In a special preview-to-the-season event on Monday at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies and Aramark Sports + Entertainment, with the help of special guests 1980 World Series champion Dickie Noles, 1993 NL Champion Mickey Morandini, Phoebe Phanatic, the Phillies Ballgirls, and Citizen Ballpark Bankers, revealed all the exciting new foods, fan gear, special events, promotions and giveaways, ballpark enhancements and more that will be part of this season’s fan experience.

The new season begins on March 28 with a series against the Atlanta Braves, starting with the sold-out opening day presented by Nemours Children’s Health.

All fans will receive a Phillies scarf giveaway. Opening day highlights include a “parade of athletes” from Ashburn Alley onto the field, followed by a ceremonial first pitch by four-year old Zeke, a Nemours patient from Lewes, DE, and the national anthem sung by Kane Kalas, son of Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas. Fun includes the Budweiser Block Party at the Third Base Plaza and photos with Budweiser Clydesdales, 3D chalk art and more outside the Third Base Gate.

Festivities continue at the sold-out McDonald’s Opening Night on March 30, with The Fightins T-shirt for fans 15 and over and a block party at the Budweiser Batters Eye Bar.

On Easter Sunday, March 31, the Phillies close out the series with a 2024 Schedule Magnet presented by Valley Forge Tourism for all fans, followed by games against the Cincinnati Reds, April 1-3, with Hatfield Phillies Franks BOGO Night on April 2 and Citizens Businessperson’s Special on April 3.

“While 2024 marks our 20th anniversary at Citizens Bank Park, we are ready to make even more history at our world-class ballpark,” said Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck. “The excitement surrounding Phillies baseball has never been greater, and as we celebrate the start of the season at home, we look forward to our fans experiencing all the terrific new enhancements that are part of our game day experience.”

Fans are invited to relive history during a series of promotions that celebrate the team’s 20-year history at Citizens Bank Park. On-field highlights will include ceremonial first pitches by former players, as well as PhanaVision videos that will feature milestone moments at the ballpark.

The first tribute will be held on April 12, exactly 20 years after the inaugural game at Citizens Bank Park, with that game’s starting pitcher, Randy Wolf, returning for first pitch honors. The 20th anniversary celebrations will continue on Citizens Businessperson’s Specials May 8, May 23, June 19 and July 31; and culminate on Toyota Phillies Alumni Day, Aug. 18, with an on-field pregame event.

Fan nights and fan entry

The Phillies theme nights and giveaways are always a fan hit.

This season, highlights will include Cavity Busters Kids Opening Day, Citizens Phanatic Birthday, IBEW Local 98 Alec Bohm T-Shirt, Johnson Controls Bryson Stott Bobble Figurine, Toyota Cole Hamels Retirement Night, Xfinity Fireworks and postgame concert series presented by Jim Beam, as well as “Star Wars,” Pickleball and Harry Potter theme nights.

“We plan to pay tribute to our fans throughout the season,” explained Michael Harris, vice president of marketing and new media.

Fans will be happy to know that technology at the park continues to enhance fans’ experience, with the expansion of MLB’s Go-Ahead Entry Lanes to make access to the ballpark easier and quicker.

In August, Citizens Bank Park was the first to debut MLB’s Go-Ahead Entry, a free-flow facial authentication technology, resulting in a fast, hands-free, eyes-up entry. More than 17,000 fans utilized the new technology last season, which debuted at the First Base Gate.

With the program’s success, the Phils are also adding Go-Ahead Entry lanes to the Third Base and Left Field gates. To enjoy Go-Ahead Entry this season, all fans, including those who signed up last season, can register at the MLB Ballpark App.

To also speed up entry, and to add consistency with its neighboring sports stadiums, Citizens Bank Park recently instituted a new clear bag policy and now prohibits guests from bringing nonclear bags, including backpacks and draw-string bags into the ballpark.

Only clutch purses and fanny packs, no larger than 5-by-7 inches, clear bags no larger than 12-by-6-by-12 inches, medical bags, and diaper bags will be permitted into Citizens Bank Park.

When fans come to cheer on the Phils, they will also notice a new high-tech field level display in right field, showcasing in-game stats, out-of-town scores and more.

The new mural

On Monday, the Phillies and SEI, along with Mural Arts Philadelphia, unveiled a mural above Ashburn Alley in left-center field.

Dubbed “Next Generation,” the mural was designed by Jose “Busta” Bustamante, an artist from Chia, Colombia, who resides in Mantua Township, N.J. The mural concept was selected during a recent contest held by SEI and the Phillies in an effort to showcase creativity and new ideas by local artists at Citizens Bank Park.

Bustamante was selected from 20 artists who sent in their unique concept ideas. His work celebrates Philadelphia’s culture, bold spirit, Phillies fandom and SEI’s mission to build brave futures through the power of connection.

SEI and the Phillies awarded a ceremonial check for $10,000 to the contest winner and another $10,000 to Mural Arts Philadelphia.

Other new additions to the park include a new changing table for adults with disabilities and their caregivers. An adult-size, height-adjustable changing table is now located in the family restroom by the West Suite and Club Entrance, making the ballpark even more accessible for fans with mobility limitations.

The new adult changing table provides a sanitary, comfortable and safe space for assisted changing.

The new menu

One of the biggest announcements on Monday is the Phillies’ and Aramark Sports + Entertainment’s new lineup of ballpark menu options and concessions innovations to enhance the game day experience.

New food offerings will include Big Mozz mozzarella sticks, PrimoHoagies, PJ Whelihan’s Ballpark Bomb Fries and wings that alternate flavor each month, Aramark’s Bratwurst Sandwich, Greens & Grains Buffalo Chik’n Hoagie, Aramark’s Loaded Funnel Cake Fry Sundae and the Schwarburger 2.0.

Manco & Manco Pizza, the Ocean City boardwalk fan favorite, and a favorite during the last few seasons at Citizens Bank Park, has expanded to additional locations and will now be offered in the Hall of Fame Club and on the Upper Deck (Sections 212 and 321). Fans can also get the popular pizza at Ashburn Alley, Pass and Stow, Miller Lite Liberty Landing and Section 137.

Those with a sweet tooth can find On Field Ice Cream Caps throughout the Park. For those who must go gluten free, there will be gluten-free brownies, chewy marshmallow, and Herr’s Fire Roasted Sweet Corn Popcorn.

Adult beverages

For adults at the games, Casamigos Bar will offer a selection of cocktails and beer behind Section 113. Casamigos Tequila will also be served at ballpark bar locations. Kona Big Wave Bar, formerly the Goose Island at the Park Bar, is an outdoor bar located in the Third Base Plaza featuring a variety of beer, wine and spirits.

Briganti Wines, owned by former major leaguer Mike Costanzo Jr., is now served at all bar locations at the ballpark. This wine has emerged from the well-respected Risogna Vini and has produced high-quality wines in the Abruzzo region since 2017. Additionally, at all the bars in the Park, Four Walls, the new Irish American whiskey brand from Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day, will be offered.

New specialty beverages at the park will include the Fastball Freeze, a new spiked frozen cocktail or beverage served in a new baseball-shaped cup, Phillies souvenir and the non-alcoholic frozen slush puppies in Phillies colors, cherry and blue raspberry.

And the gear

Fans should gear up to shop exclusive gear this season, with merchandise that’s only available at the New Era Phillies Team Store at Citizens Bank Park, such as the 20th Anniversary Ballpark Collection commemorating 20 years of Phillies baseball at Citizens Bank Park, and an all-new custom collection of bobbleheads commemorating players, special moments and ballpark events.

Fans of the Phillie Phanatic will rejoice this season.

“We now have the largest and best offering of Phillie Phanatic merchandise to date,” announced Francis Winkey, the Phillies senior merchandise manager.

Phillie Phanatic swag includes, but is not limited to, headwear, apparel, footwear, pennants, golf accessories, drawstring bags, drinkware, collectibles, bobbleheads and more.

The ballpark carries a variety of bobbleheads, all ballpark exclusive, limited release and individually numbered.

In addition to the Phillie Phanatic bobbleheads, Harper’s 300th career home run; Michael Lorenzen’s no-hitter, featuring J.T. Realmuto; and Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott “Splash Brothers” bobbles are available early this season. Commemorative bobbles for Cole Hamels Retirement Night and the Phillies-Mets London series will be available this summer.

In addition to shopping at the park, fans can bid for some special items in an online auction.

Phillies Charities Inc. will host a 20th Anniversary Online Auction featuring signed memorabilia from players throughout Citizens Bank Park history, including a Chase Utley-signed paver from Ashburn Alley, a Jim Thome bobble head, a Bryce Harper home jersey and more.

Fans can bid through 6 p.m. April 7 at http://phillies.com/auctions.

After dominating the culinary scene along the Main Line for over 20 years, the upscale Asian restaurant that won its owner praise and awards for over two decades, will close on March 18.

Her patrons will still be able to get Kuo’s same authentic traditional Chinese menu a few blocks away at Margaret Kuo’s inside the Lancaster County Farmers Market, 389 W. Lancaster Ave., Wayne, and a few miles away at Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen at The Promenade at Granite Run, 1109 Baltimore Pike, Middletown Township.

The award-winning Margaret Kuo’s Wayne at 175 Lancaster Ave. drew customers from near and far, and received accolades for its warm hospitality and its authentic Chinese and Japanese menu served in beautiful dining areas, embellished with hand-chosen artwork and cultural artifacts.

The Kuo restaurants in Middletown, Wayne, Malvern and Media are thought to be the first in the Philadelphia suburbs sharing authentic Asian food as well as culture.

“It took us almost three years to build the restaurant here,” Kuo said, as she looked around her namesake Wayne restaurant fondly, with her husband Warren at her side. “We built it from the ground up. Right after we purchased this site, and began with our plans, 9/11 happened and there was a ban on all trucking. We had to wait until the ban lifted before construction could begin.”

Its beginnings

Kuo said they purchased the site of the former Wayne Diner in early 2001.

Rather than demolishing the piece of history, the Kuos donated the diner, a piece of Americana, to the American Diner Museum in Providence, Rhode Island. The American Diner Museum’s mission is to save vintage diners in danger of redevelopment and extinction. The Kuos believe the diner now stands on a site in Buffalo, New York.

“I remember the day that the diner was moved from this site,” Kuo reminisced, smiling. “Some residents around here say that was the biggest event that happened in Wayne since General Wayne himself came through.”

The Kuos worked with architect Bob Linn to design the building and hired JD DeLuca as builder. The 270-seat, three-level Margaret Kuo’s Wayne, with its signature Han Dynasty dragons adorning the building’s facade, opened with much fanfare on March 1, 2003.

“Over 500 people came here on opening day,” Kuo remembers. “And the people just kept on coming.”

“Margaret and I have put our hearts into this place,” Warren added. “When we bought the property, we wanted to build something unique that would last and we worked hard to make it someplace really special.”

The upscale Asian restaurant served authentic Chinese cuisine on its first floor and authentic Japanese cuisine and a sushi bar on its second floor, with private dining areas and banquet space on the second floor as well as the lower level. Bars are on the first and second floors.

What’s next?

Kuo sold the Wayne location to the WIN Signature Restaurant Group, the owners of independent restaurants, based in the Main Line area. WIN, in operation for over 30 years, owns Azie on Main in Villanova, Azie Media, The Blue Elephant in Pottstown and Wayne, Teikoku Restaurant in Newtown Square and Mikado Thai Pepper in Ardmore.

After just selling two of their restaurants in recent years, the Kuos said they weren’t actively looking to sell Margaret Kuo’s Wayne.

However, when the opportunity presented itself, the couple felt the timing was right to go in another direction. During the pandemic, the Kuos sold Margaret Kuo’s on State Street in Media in 2020, and Mandarin in Malvern in 2021.

“The WIN group approached me about selling Margaret Kuo’s Wayne, and to be honest, I just felt the timing was right,” Margaret Kuo shared. “My husband is 81. After we sell this Wayne location, we will only own Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen at Granite Run and our place at the farmers market, so I can get back to being more hands-on with sharing my cooking skills with the community, like I did in the beginning, and follow other pursuits I’ve putting off. I feel really good about the buyers. They operate nice restaurants. They’re from a younger generation and I just feel like we’re leaving this place in good hands.”

The Kuo’s son, Mark Kuo, former owner/operator of Mandarin and an experienced restaurateur like his mother, is now at the helm of Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen at Granite Run. When the former Granite Run Mall was demolished in 2016, and reinvented as the Promenade at Granite Run in 2018, Mark and his parents closed Peking and opened as Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen in a much larger, more spacious and upscale location there.

With her “family affair” restaurants now in capable hands with her son Mark, Kuo said she will spend three days a week at the Lancaster County Farmers Market, serving customers and, hopefully, doing cooking demonstrations. She also plans to enhance the menu at Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen with more traditional Chinese dishes.

In the future, she looks forward to teaching cooking classes and holding workshops, mingling more with her customers at both locations, and doing more community service.

Kuo says she is excited to spend more time with her family, which includes her two sons and three grandchildren, and friends, and perhaps finally get some time to write the book that she has long dreamed of publishing, about her experiences with her customers, her cooking and culture.

She already has a cooking workshop planned at Wayne Senior Center in April and is participating in The Emergency Aid Foundation of Pennsylvania’s Taste of the Main Line event in Radnor this Thursday.

“Without so many of the administrative duties, I will be able to get back to the kitchen and back to the people, as I did in the beginning,” the restaurateur shared. “When I think about it, this is really a happy occasion. I feel as if I’m coming full circle. I am, by no means retiring, but I just wanted to scale down a little and get back to hands-on operating and more involvement in the community, like I did in the beginning of my career.”

Humble start 50 years ago

“The beginning” for Margaret Kuo was 1974, when she opened Peking in the Granite Run Mall, the first location of her soon-to-be restaurant empire.

She learned to cook from her mother and grandmother and wanted to share recipes handed down from generation to generation. The Kuos, natives of Taiwan, took a risk by bringing authentic Mandarin and Szechuan cooking to Delaware County. The food critics and customers were smitten with this new genre of food being introduced to them.

They were also enthralled with eating Chinese food in an elegant, sit-down restaurant with linen tablecloths, rather than a corner-store-type establishment offering Chinese takeout, as was customary in the suburbs of the ’60s and early ’70s.

The creative chef/owner framed her very first review by then-food critic Elaine Tait of The Philadelphia Inquirer, who came to the restaurant in disguise, Kuo said, so they did not recognize her.

“After we were discovered by Elaine Tait and other area food critics, we seemed to really take off,” Kuo shared. “Only one year or so after our opening, we were awarded Best Asian Restaurant by Philadelphia Magazine’s Best of Philly promotion.”

Building on her success with Peking, 10 years later, the entrepreneur/restauranteur opened Mandarin, and continued garnering awards and culinary accolades.

In 1992, Kuo opened a third restaurant, Margaret Kuo’s on State Street in Media, right at the forefront of Media’s restaurant renaissance, followed by the opening of Margaret Kuo’s Wayne in 2003 and her outpost in the Lancaster County Farmers Market in 2015.

Throughout it all, Margaret, a James Beard Foundation featured chef, made culinary history.

“I’ve always treated inviting customers to my restaurants, the same as if I invited them to my own home,” shared the grande dame of Asian cuisine. “I want them to enjoy themselves, feel welcome and be treated well.”

Kuo, who usually splits her time between her restaurants, says that she will try to be at the Wayne restaurant to interact with her customers every day until it closes.

As Kuo was being interviewed, restaurant patrons continually stopped by her table to express their sentiments about the Wayne closing.

Joe and Diane Micciche of Warminster say they discovered Kuo’s restaurants when they lived in Drexel Hill and then Lansdowne in Delaware County. Now residents of Bucks County, they travel to Margaret Kuo’s Wayne at least four times a year because they enjoy her food so much.

“We saw the news about the closing of her Wayne location, so we had to come down,” Joe remarked. “We both love her Peking Duck. It’s our favorite!”

“Along with her General Tso’s Chicken, spring rolls, and dumplings, all the food here is fabulous,” added Diane, who said they may come back on Saturday for yet another last meal, and will definitely not have any problem trekking a few miles farther to the Granite Run location in the future.

Also stopping by the table to share their best wishes were Philadelphia residents Sean Edwards, accompanied by his wife, Kelly, and mom, Mary. They heard about the restaurant’s final days on a local news broadcast and hopped in the car for an early dinner Saturday.

“I’m depressed that this is my first time here and I didn’t discover it sooner,” shared Sean, president of Rittenhouse Communications Group in Philadelphia, as he shook Kuo’s hand, introduced himself, and wished her well. “We were very impressed by the food and everything else. Now we can’t wait to go to Margaret Kuo’s at Granite Run.”

“People have been coming in for their final meal here ever since we made the announcement about closing this location,” Kuo shared, explaining her patrons are like one big family. “When they say goodbye, I tell them it’s not a final goodbye and invite them to come see me at Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen at Granite Run or over at the Farmers Market down the street.”

The final sale

After Margaret Kuo’s Wayne closes on March 18, the doors of the restaurant will remain open for the public to purchase some of the restaurant’s inventory and Kuo memorabilia from March 19 until contents are depleted before March 31, when the Kuos will vacate the building.

With the exception of tables and chairs and other practical items going to the property’s buyers, most of the decorative items will be for sale on a first-come basis.

In the 1980s and ’90s, Warren Kuo was an importer/buyer for the Pearl of the East stores. He brought back exotic items from the Far East, some of which decorate the restaurant’s three levels.

Filled with original sculptures, cultural artifacts, unique decorative wall hangings, paintings, rosewood and antique furniture, wooden figurines, silk screen room dividers, Chinese vases and other items, the rooms of the restaurant will have priced inventory. The Kuos say they are also willing to consider reasonable offers for items on an individual basis.

“We decorated in the pre-Amazon days,” Margaret Kuo remarked. “We’ve been collecting Chinese art for many years. Most of our items are handcrafted and imported from China and Japan.”

Although she appears excited to close this chapter of her life and move onto a new one, Kuo said, without a doubt, there is also a tinge of sadness.

“I have mixed emotions,” she shared. “I am happy for my family and for the opportunities this will give me to spend more time with the community. But, I am also sad, because we built this restaurant from the ground up, and fixed every corner with love. The new owners promised to take good care of the building, so that made me feel peace. Time and life changes, so I feel it’s time to go in a new direction. I want to thank all of our customers who came and dined here. I am so grateful for all of their support and hope they’ll come visit us at our other locations.”

What to know

The public can come into Margaret Kuo’s Wayne at 175 Lancaster Ave. to purchase the restaurant’s inventory and Kuo memorabilia starting March 19.

The family lived in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia and they immediately were attracted to the towns in Delaware County, particularly in the Ridley-Interboro area.

They connected with Realtor Elma Guardiani of Coldwell Banker and set off searching for their dream home.

After about two months of searching, Guardiani attended a workshop and found out HGTV’s “House Hunters” was looking for real-life house hunters, on a current search for a new home.

She immediately thought Villar and Nugent matched the show’s criteria and would be a good fit. She asked them if they’d be interested in applying.

The following months of their house hunting made history.

On Tuesday, Aug. 1, the episode of “House Hunters” featuring the Villar-Nugent family, will air at 10 p.m. on HGTV. The same episode will air again at 1 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 2.

The promo for this episode reads, “A couple searches for a larger home for their growing family in Philadelphia. He’s dreaming of a single-family house, but she’s trying to persuade him into a row home where they can get more for their money.”

Villar, who is a supervisor in the animal research lab at Drexel University, and Nugent, who is a manager at Sunbound Technology in the Lehigh Valley, appear on the show with their three children: Jovin Mills, 12; Luka Mills, 8; and Kara Nugent, 1.

Villar’s mother, Nancy Villar, also appears on the show, as she and the children often went on the house hunting trips.

Luci Villar said that she had once lived in Ridley and really found the area appealing. She narrowed the search to the Ridley-Glenolden-Norwood area because the couple found a strong sense of community in those towns and felt they are in good school districts.

“When we drove around this area, we got to see what a small-town feel they had and you just don’t find that in too many places anymore,” Villar said. “That, combined with the sense of a strong community, was the biggest appeal here.”

The family found their dream home on Delaware Avenue in Norwood in March and made settlement. They moved in in April.

“We fell in love with Norwood,” Villar said. “We like the vibe of the people here: down to earth, friendly, humble and genuine. The area is close to the airport, restaurants and lots to do. For the kids, there’s a nearby park to play at and they can walk to their school.”

Villar said the three-bedroom duplex with “a beautiful deck” needs some upgrades, but was move-in ready, although they did have to replace the electrical system.

The couple hopes to renovate the basement in the near future and do a few face-lifts, eventually, but they couldn’t be more happy so far with their choice.

“The price of the home was affordable and we absolutely fell in love with the neighborhood,” Villar gushed.

The Villar-Nugent family plans to have a small viewing party when the show airs, and maybe have a backyard screening of a rerun, with others in attendance, later this summer.

Villar said her neighbors will all be watching the show, too, and so will Rosemary Acker, the previous homeowner who sold them the house and had resided there since 1970.

“I’m a little nervous now that the time has come to see ourselves on TV,” Villar chuckled. “But the whole experience was wonderful. It seemed surreal. It definitely was a lot of fun and very exciting!”

To watch the episode, called “No Shared Walls in Philly,” about the Villar-Nugent family’s house hunting adventure, tune in to HGTV’s “House Hunters” at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1 or three hours later. After that, look for it in reruns.

On Monday at a special pre-opening day media event, the Phillies unveiled all that’s new for the 2023 season.

As soon as the first pitch is thrown at 3:05 p.m., fans can watch all of the action on the team’s new, state-of-the-art Phanavision scoreboard.

“Our new Phanavision scoreboard will make one of the greatest fan experiences ever,” said Sean Walker, vice president and chief technology officer. “This project has been two years in the making and we believe it will provide an incredible show for our fans.”

Touted as the third largest in Major League Baseball, the high-tech scoreboard is 77% larger than the old one, at 152 feet wide by 86 feet high.

However, it’s the new high definition technology that makes it stand out against all the others.

The enhanced PhanaVision videoboard will make every Phillies big moment even more electrifying for fans, showing every angle with improved clarity.

According to the Phillies organization, the new board features the latest and greatest in high dynamic range video technology. The new display will deliver nearly 13,000 square feet of digital space to entertain and engage fans at every game.

With a 16:9 aspect ratio, the new scoreboard can display 516 life-size Phillie Phanatics simultaneously.

The new videoboard features 11.6 million pixels at 10 millimeter spacing, bringing excellent image clarity and contrast to fans.

It weighs 116,298 pounds and is supported by 190 tons of structural steel. Plus, a modernized production control room has been built to support the enhanced system.

Faster screening process

As fans enter the gates to see the 2022 National League champions, they can also expect a much quicker entry into the ballpark, thanks to a brand new security screening process that’s safer and quicker than previous years.

Fans will now be able to walk right through the entrance gates without having to stop to open bags or be checked individually as they enter the ballpark.

According to Sal DeAngelis, vice president of Operations & Security at Citizens Bank Park, the new feature is due to Evolv Technology, which will be partnering with the Phillies to use artificial intelligence to provide safer, more accurate threat detection at unprecedented volume and speed.

New at the gift shop

Fans can also expect plenty of brand-new merchandise.

Exclusive and official items only at the New Era Phillies Team Store at Citizens Bank Park will include lots of National League champions merchandise, a large opening day retail collection, and many new Phanatic items.

Additionally, the expanded store will feature a “jersey feature wall” with Trea Turner jerseys and more.

With 1,200 square feet of space added in the offseason, the New Era Phillies Team Store now includes an expansive jersey feature wall for the wide variety of player jerseys and T-shirts available for fans.

As an added bonus, fans will also get a chance to view the 2022 National League Championship trophy up close and get photos with it when it’s on display at the ballpark this weekend.

Chowing down

Hungry fans will have their pick of many new and delicious ballpark options this season.

The Phillies and Aramark Sports + Entertainment have added new menu items to the ballpark’s food lineup.

For the 2023 season, Aramark will debut Seasons Inning Stretch, a limited-time, seasonally inspired food and beverage program that will bring new, elevated tastes to the ballpark menu in the spring, summer and fall.

To start the season, Citizens Bank Park will offer a Jerk Chicken Sandwich featuring pulled jerk chicken served on a brioche roll with pickle slaw and fried plantains.

Additionally, the Phillies, Aramark, Coca-Cola and Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages are partnering this season to launch Coca-Cola Corner in section 143.

As part of the initiative, Coca-Cola Corner will showcase seven Philadelphia-area restaurants during each Phillies series. The restaurants will feature one of their well-known menu items paired with a Coca-Cola beverage.

Plus, 5% of all purchases of these items will benefit Philabundance to help fight food insecurity.

Other new concessions offerings and local partnerships unveiled this week include the 1883 Burger Co. with burgers, chicken tenders, jumbo Phillies Franks and Boardwalk Fries (Sections 109 & 207); Federal Donuts with chicken tenders served with an Everything Rooster dipping sauce and signature Federal Donuts; Greens & Grains, plant-based, fast, and fresh food options (Section 125); Manco and Manco, the Ocean City, N.J., boardwalk fan favorite will be expanding to additional locations and offered at Pass and Stow, Miller Lite Liberty Landing and Section 137; Mexican Street Popcorn, tossed in-house with tajin spice, lime and cotija cheese, at Pass and Stow; Miso Couscous, available in premium suites, this vegetarian dish is accompanied by roasted baby eggplant, broccolini and romesco; P.J.

Uncle Charlie Steaks

Charlie Manuel, the 2008 World Series-winning manager, was on hand to unveil Uncle Charlie Steaks, classic, Philly-style cheesesteaks on freshly baked Liscio’s Bakery seeded rolls, served with Herr’s kettle chips, which will be found in Section 109.

Be on the lookout for Manuel, who will be making guest appearances throughout the season.

“We decided to feature the cheesesteak named in honor of Phillies legend Charlie Manuel, because, just like movies and popcorn, Philly and cheesesteaks go together,” said Aramark at Citizens Bank Park General Manager Kevin Tedesco.

As he lunched on his signature cheesesteak, Manuel was asked what he liked about the cheesesteak named in his honor.

Manuel smiled and said, “Oh it’s really good … and it’s big.”

Themes and giveaways

The Phillies also have a great deal of theme nights and fan giveaways lined up for the season, including Cavity Busters Kids Opening Day, Star Wars Theme Night, Citizens Phanatic Birthday, Pride Night, Xfinity Fireworks, Postgame Concert Series presented by Jim Beam and more.

A full list can be found at http://phillies.com/promotions.

Other enhancements noted on Monday to increase fan experience, include a new Philadelphia Phillies Clubhouse Rewards Mastercard.

Card owners can earn points with every purchase, which can be redeemed for exclusive Phillies event tickets, merchandise, memorabilia, and exclusive experiences like throwing out a first pitch, watching batting practice on the field, meet and greets with Phillies legends and more.

Both 1993 National League champions Mickey Morandini and Milt Thompson were on hand Monday to accept huge ceremonial Phillies Mastercards in their names.

Other highlights

This year, there is also a new Uber RideShare Lot for fans.

Starting on April 20, Uber will be providing a RideShare space in Lot T for all Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center events.

Fans should exit the Third Base Gate and walk along Pattison Avenue toward Broad Street to enter the lot and request a vehicle, which will meet each rider in the designated area. The lot will also include an Uber-branded lounge with seating and a charging station.

At Thursday’s home opener, presented by Nemours Children’s Health, each fan will be given a 2022 NL championship pennant.

In addition, the game will include a leadoff walk of players who will make their way from Ashburn Alley onto the field, followed by the raising of the National League pennant.

The fun also includes a Budweiser Block Party inside the Third Base Gate. Outside the gate, there will be photo opportunities with the Budweiser Clydesdales, 3D chalk art and more.

On Saturday, April 8, the fun continues, with the soldout McDonald’s Night. Fans over age 15 will get a complimentary 2022 NL champions T-shirt, a block party is also planned at Budweiser Batters Eye Bar and more exciting surprises are on the agenda.

On Saturday, Oct. 21, Fine Wine & Good Spirits will present award-winning actor Kurt Russell who will be signing pre-purchased bottles of his Gogi Wines including his Goldie Chardonnay, 91 points Wine Spectator, April 2021 and his Erinn Pinot Noir, 92 points Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast, beginning at 11 a.m.Thanks to the foresight of Delaware County resident Silvio Lelli, Russell’s wines are now available in Pennsylvania. Lelli is founder and CEO of Nationwide Wine & Spirits, a Preferred Pennsylvania Broker and National Importer. The personable CEO grew up in Havertown and now lives in Sharon Hill with his wife Christina and their son Luke.

Lelli traveled to California to meet Russell’s sister and taste their wine to consider importing it. He said the wines are “really good.” While at dinner with Russell to discuss importing the wine, Lelli said he asked Russell, “Why not come to Pennsylvania to introduce your wines here?” The Nationwide Wine & Spirits owner said Russell wanted to know more about the Keystone State opportunity.

“I just knew these wines would be successful here, because they are really fabulous,” Lelli remarked.

Nationwide Wine & Spirits prefers working with luxury small or medium-sized family-owned vineyards and distilleries that offer the best value and taste for the money for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB). He felt Russell’s wines fell right in line with his company’s preferences.

Nationwide Wine & Spirits focuses on family-owned, earth-friendly wines and exclusive spirits, distributing imported brands to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Nationwide Wine & Spirits’ biggest client is the PLCB, which is the largest purchaser of wines and spirits in North America. Lelli also works with well over 500 licensees throughout the Commonwealth.

“Kurt Russell is not only a legendary actor,” Lelli says, “But he is also a phenomenal wine producer. We hit it off right away, because, not only do we both appreciate fine wine, but he’s a family man and so am I.”

Starting in the early 1980s, Russell starred in dozens of major motion pictures, including cult classics “Big Trouble in Little China,” “Escape From New York,” “Miracle,” and “Tombstone.” Russell also appeared in the action blockbuster franchises “Fast and Furious” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”), and he played Santa Claus in Netflix’s “The Christmas Chronicles.”

In 1984, Russell worked on the movie “Swing Shift,” where he fell in love with actress Goldie Hawn. The two have been together ever since and now share a blended family of four adult children and seven grandchildren. They have also shared comedic success on the big screen in the movie “Overboard.”

“My romance with wine began many years ago on bicycle trips with Goldie and our family through the great wine regions of France, Italy and California,” Russell shared. “Those fabulous excursions through picturesque vineyards provided the opportunity to sample many terrific wines. ‘Sampling’ might be putting it lightly, especially where Burgundy is concerned. Those wines didn’t just steal my palate, they stole my heart. It wasn’t long before the dream of creating beautiful wines of my own, specifically Pinot Noir, was born. The many treasured conversations I’ve shared with various winemakers and producers from Burgundy to Bordeaux and Tuscany to Napa served to fuel my dream to someday take the leap from fantasy to reality.”

Russell’s role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof” in 2007 brought him to the renowned wine region of Sta. Rita Hills of California and started his journey into the world of wine production. From his first vintage in 2008, Russell has remained steadfastly “hands-on” in every step of the process, from harvest to blending. Russell’s Pinot Noir wines are all named after family members, and his Chardonnay is and always will be called “Goldie.”

The public can meet Kurt Russell, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22. Limited tickets are available for his on-stage presentation as he pairs his wines with incredible dishes followed by a bottle signing of his Goldie Chardonnay and Erinn Pinot Noir. Kurt Russell’s Gogi Wines are available for purchase at the Fine Wine & Good Spirits on-site store at the event or by visiting www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com/. Russell will only sign bottles of GoGi wines purchased on site. No other items will be signed, and attendees cannot bring bottles purchased elsewhere into the TASTE! event.

After marrying at age 19, she was living with her husband in the Poconos when he died suddenly, at age 26, from a pulmonary embolism in the lung. Their only son David was just 6 years old. A year later, her brother died by suicide. Consumed with grief and struggling as a single mother, she moved back to Glenolden to live with her parents, Anthony and Theresa Marcolongo.

“I was in a really bad place, physically, mentally, and spiritually,” Agostinelli explained. “As a single mother with no education, no job and few resources. I felt lost. I knew that I had to make some changes in my life to survive.”

Agostinelli, who attended Our Lady of Fatima School as a child and graduated from Cardinal O’Hara High School, Class of 1981, began her journey through the stages of grief by getting more education. She enrolled in Delaware County Community College and began to take classes. It took her five years to earn an associate degree, but when she did, she knew that she was slowly on her way. She got a job and an apartment. Agostinelli transferred over to Widener University, where she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work and human development and took her clinical training to become a licensed clinical psychotherapist.

Agostinelli worked in the mental health field at Community Hospital in Chester, before starting her own private practice.  In 2007, the life coach founded Glen Mills Coaching and Consulting in Chester Heights, where she continues today as CEO. As she grew in educational and professional fields, her personal life began to turn around as well.

After being widowed for seven years, Agostinelli met the love of her life, Vincent, to whom she has now been married for 25 years. Vincent is a painter, who also works as a real estate agent at Keller Williams. The years moved on and her son David Vorhees is now a police officer, currently a member of the Prospect Park Police Department. As Agostinelli overcame obstacles and stayed on course, more opportunities came her way, and she grew stronger and more self-assured as a person and her life became happier. Agostinelli had an overwhelming desire to help others do the same.

Agostinelli became a certified John Maxwell coach, speaker and mentor and a college professor. She teaches psychology and social work courses at Immaculata University and has spoken to countless corporations and organizations about ways to overcome happiness-blocking challenges in life and, not only reach desired goals, but begin to thrive in all facets of life.

Agostinelli continues to inspire and motivate others to discover their inner resilience and strength and turn their lives around through a formula she developed and calls “The GRID System.”

In addition to using “The GRID System” to help people at Glen Mills Coaching and Consulting and at her outside speaking engagements, Agostinelli recently wrote her first book, “The GRID System: Creating More of What’s Good in Your Life,” to share the formula with countless others who may benefit from it.

“The GRID System” is a proprietary results-driven behavioral modification program created through 20 years of development, focused on behavioral health and wellness, educational, and psychological models. Readers will be able to easily put these principles into action, she said.

“The GRID System helps people to be, to do, and to achieve more of what they want in their life,” Agostinelli explained. “This approach instructs them by incorporating positive psychology, mental and physical health and wellness, emotion regulation, neuroscience, sociology, and by identifying the beliefs, fears, and emotions that hold them back from achieving their goals and reaching their potential.”

The author hopes that the easily learned GRID system will give readers much-needed insight and encouragement to overcome adversity, challenges, and setbacks, and help them learn to utilize their inner strength to maximize all areas of their life.

Agostinelli says the curriculum is a simple system bringing multiple disciplines together to help people achieve all they were born to do.

“I like to think that this easy-to-read book will help people survive trauma and drama and get them on the road to victory and success,” she remarked. “Every chapter in the book is followed by action steps to take.”

The author said the book took 20 years to write. When both of her beloved parents passed away within a month of each other in 2021, Agostinelli said she vowed to finally get “The GRID System” in print.

“On June 10, I got a call from the publisher that my book came out,” Agostinelli shared. “June 10 is my dad’s birthday. I don’t think it was a coincidence. I think it was a sign that I was meant to help people by writing this book and sharing The GRID System with others.”

“The GRID System: Creating More of What’s Good in Your Life” is published by Scion Press, Inc. and available through  http://amazon.com   For more information on the author, visit http://GlenMillsCC.com or ProfessorTheresaMarie.com or follow the author @theresamarie.coach on Instagram or “Theresa Marie” on Facebook. Agostinelli is also available to book as a speaker to help teams and organizations.

“Housework is not a dirty word, nor does talking about it need to be as dry as dust,” shared new author Ciavola in a recent interview.

“Dancing with Housework,” published through Amazon and a quick read at 46 pages, is a humorous and motivational guide to revamping people’s thinking to enjoy, not only doing the tasks needed to have a clean home, but also to revel in the sparkling results. The book also offers motivational tips and a cleaning plan that can be customized to each individual reader’s time and priorities.

“The book is intended to be easy to read and entertaining, and to offer helpful ways to get cleaning done as well as put a smile on the cleaner’s face or a laugh in their mouth,” Ciavola stated.

“Dancing With Housework”  is organized into three parts. First, Ciavola describes her own childhood experience with housecleaning and the messages implanted. The second part covers psychological principles, applied to housework, such as acceptance and mindfulness, as well as motivation. Thirdly, “Dancing With Housework” provides what Ciavola terms “the book’s nitty gritty,” an organizational scheme of planning and structure that can be employed to make housework what each individual wants it to be.

Ciavola was born and raised in Somerset County, Pa. She attended the University of Pittsburgh where she earned a degree in physical therapy, before beginning launching an early career as a physical therapist. After marrying and having two children, Ciavola enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom, until she hit her 50s when she returned to school. Ciavola earned a master’s degree in professional counseling/psychology from Immaculata University.

Ciavola used her counseling skills and knowledge, going to work at Life Counseling in Paoli and Springfield Psychological in West Chester as a mental health counselor. Now retired, she babysits her only grandchild once a week and enjoys life with her husband Michael, who is also retired from a long career as a teacher in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. The couple has two children, Valerie Ciavola of Media, and Suzanne Newman of Bethel Township.

Through her years of counseling, Ciavola couldn’t help but notice the high percentage of people who dread housework and came to recognize her own psychological motivation toward the task. With a background of psychology and counseling, and also a side gig as a standup comic, she decided to share what she knows, with the hope of motivating others through her lighthearted guide.

“I wanted to help other people organize their tasks and use psychological motivators to help them to think differently about housework,” the author shared.

Ciavola said she started out her own life as “an over-the-top, too good of a housekeeper.” As a child, she and her older sister were too embarrassed to invite friends over to their home, because their mother was such a poor housekeeper.

“My Mother was a sweet person, who provided us with a home of love and kindness, but housekeeping was just never a priority,” Ciavola remembers. “My mom sat around and watched soap operas all day long. I remember the frustration of my father when he couldn’t find a bill or important paper because of the mess in our house. We lived in disorganized chaos!”

As an adult, Ciavola responded to her upbringing by going into the direct opposite mode. She mopped and dusted until her whole house shined. When she found out her in-laws were coming for a visit, Ciavola would spend days making sure there wasn’t a crumb or speck of dust to be found.

“My obsessive housecleaning made me very cranky,” Ciavola explained. “Perfection is not good in any area of life. It took me time, but I have finally reached a happy medium. I now have a more relaxed attitude toward my housework. My home is still very clean, but not 100 percent spotless.”

Ciavola says that she now cleans her home twice a week, spending a total of four hours putting away clutter and performing basic cleaning tasks like vacuuming, dusting, bathtubs, showers, floors and the kitchen area.

“Every person is different in how clean they want their home,” Ciavola stated. “I rarely judge other people. Everyone has their own personal preference in how clean or unclean they can tolerate and live with. However, I do draw the line and begin judging if there are insects, cats licking off plates or dog poop on the floor. There’s absolutely no excuse to live in a filthy home that breeds disease.”

The author shares motivators and tips, like listening to favorite music, organizing cleaning supplies, self-talk, and giving yourself a small reward when each small task is complete. The prioritized and customized plan even includes room for “annual tasks,” like windows, basement and garage. The author adds a “bonus chapter” to the book about daily meal prep, making it more organized and efficient.

“Having a clean and organized house makes you feel good, saves a great deal of time looking for items and gives order to our lives,” Ciavola said. “My book has funny parts and useful parts. I combined my background in psychology and stand-up comedy in hope of helping others change their mindset about housework.”

From the owner of Thirsty Dice, Philadelphia’s first board game café, Twenty One Pips offers guests an engaging dining experience with board games, locally sourced sharable menu items, and elevated pub-style entrees. In addition, a curated wine, beer, and whiskey program and a seasonal selection of craft cocktails featuring local makers comprise the beverage program.

The name is fitting to the concept as Twenty One Pips refers to the number of dots, which are called pips, on a six-sided die. A large sign at the hostess station provides the dictionary word meaning of “pips.”

The interior of the 5,000-square-foot, family-friendly restaurant seats approximately 170 guests with soaring 22-ft ceilings and a mezzanine for private dining. Dramatic 15-foot-high woodsy moss walls are offset by an overlay of artwork depicting the playful nature of games in everyday experiences by artists David Cuzick and Zach Bird.

Banquettes are created from reclaimed church pews and juxtapose comfortable booths covered in rich navy and gray fabrics adorned with tufted red buttons — a playful nod to the pips prevalent in the concept’s brand. Custom lighting creates intimate spaces with colors and shapes indicative of game pieces. The restaurant was designed by Partum Interiors.

To further support the spirit of supporting local artist Natalie Hope McDonald created unique and intricate black and white hand-drawn murals incorporating iconic game-themed imagery like Pac-Man Ghosts and Monopoly pieces mingled with game phrases, words, and quotes. The bar area features reclaimed drawer fronts. An extensive museum-quality dice collection is on display, encouraging guests to explore the space and learn the unique history of featured works.

Two vintage skeeball machines, a 3-D Atari Pong Table, and a striking black and white checked floor complete the game-inspired décor. Plus, there’s a retro arcade video game library for up to four players. Locally sourced, house-made and customizable items dominate the Twenty One Pips menu.

Customizable boards boast a rotating selection of artisanal cheeses and house-made crudité and spreads including Glazed Carrots with agave, ginger, and turmeric; Split Pea Hummus with garlic confit and wonton crackers; Eggplant Polpette Fritters with za’atar spice and whipped tahini and locally prepared charcuterie such as Soppressata; Nduja, a spicy spreadable pork sausage, or Pfefferwurst hickory-smoked hard sausage ($18/3, $25/5, $32/7). Additional items include a variety of flatbreads, including “Not Your Nonna’s Margherita,” with fior di latte, basil pesto and white balsamic glaze ($17).

Small Plate offerings consist of Hand Cut Chesapeake Fries with crab, cheddar, Old Bay remoulade and scallions ($13) along with Caulilini with bagna càuda, Calabrian chili oil, and asiago ($13) and Crunchy Cheddar Curds with herb breading and marinara ($10).

The signature 21 Burger is topped with bacon and bacon jam, Gouda mornay, house-made pickles and served with a side of pub fries or a side salad ($17).

Entrées and salads include a smoked and roasted half Cornish chicken served with braised kale, pommes purée and bourbon jus ($29) and a Citrus Arugula with orange slices, heirloom carrot, pistachio gremolata, lemon-basil vinaigrette ($14).

Desserts round out the menu with an Espresso Semifreddo made with a signature blend of Herman’s Coffee Co. espresso and dark chocolate ganache and a Cast Iron Brookie, a freshly baked triple chocolate brownie and cookie served with or without Bassetts vanilla ice cream. Twenty One Pips features locally roasted coffee created by Philadelphia’s Herman’s Coffee.

Twenty One Pips also offers a ‘Pips-Squeak’ Menu filled with pint-sized portions of kid-friendly foods like burgers, fries, chicken tenders, mac and cheese and more.

Playful cocktails like the Professor Plum made with gin, lemon, butterfly pea tea syrup, plum sake, and elderflower tonic ($12), Game Changer with cucumber-infused tequila, mezcal, jalapeño agave, orange liqueur, lime, and bitters ($13) or Carrie the Team with citron vodka, cranberry liqueur, mandarin orange liqueur and lime ($14) and three mocktails headline the beverage program. Extensive wine, whiskey, and local craft beer selections ensure there is a perfect libation for every occasion including local favorites.

The enormous Twenty One Pips game library features more than 600 games. Full-time gametenders will be on hand to help guests explore games based on themes and interests ranging from strategy-based games like Catan, party games like Blank Slate, or family-friendly games like Dixit — and of course, the entire catalog of nostalgic classics like Guess Who, Trivial Pursuit, Yahtzee and Jenga. Library passes, which cost $5 for two hours, grants access to all games.

“We are excited to join the Main Line community and help guests explore how easy and enjoyable it can be to connect while playing games and sharing a great meal,” said Matt Hendricks, owner of Twenty One Pips. “Twenty One Pips is a neighborhood spot to meet friends after work, enjoy cocktails, or entertain your family while sipping on a great glass of wine and nibbling on locally sourced cheese and charcuterie.”

Operating hours are Monday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 12 a.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. In addition to regular operating hours, grab-and-go coffee and pastries will be available Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
