A Phillies Safe Haven in New York Territory



NEW YORK (WCBS 880)  -- For some it's enemy territory. For others it's a safe haven. It is a bar in New York City for fans of the Philadelphia Phillies.

WCBS Reporter Paul Murnane ventures inside Wogie's and asks a patron who they're rooting for in the World Series.

"I'm a Yankees fan, yes. I'm here for the food," said one patron.

All are welcome, but on game nights...it's standing room only.  The owner, a Philly-area native and a lifelong sports fan Aaron Hoffman says they show them all.

"Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, Sixers, you name it," said Hoffman.

Wogie's has four flat screen TV's up, a few bets wiht his Yankee fan customers too. And can you blame the guy for lingering at work?

"My fiance is a Yankee fan," said Hoffman.

What a happy house that must be.

Hoffman says Wogie's gets the vocal, yet well-behaved crowd. You may not know the person next to you when you come in, but he says you will by the end of the game.
