NEWS RELEASE
Los Angeles – Dodger baseball and Philippe’s French Dips go together like peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Baseball fanatics and those along for the ride will again be able to enjoy some opening day festivities at Philippe’s on Tuesday, April 12, ahead of the home opener versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Like previous home openers, Philippe’s will be ready for the pre-game fans – the Bud Light Girls and Angel City Brewery will be on-site – and a French Dip will satisfy any craving before heading to the stadium. A beer station with two options on tap will be open for those who want to enjoy a few without waiting in one of the carver lines. Opening day festivities will begin at 9:30 a.m., and that morning only; last call for breakfast will be at 9 a.m.
Although the main festivities take place before the game, Philippe’s is still the spot to grab a drink or bite after the game. Pair a dip – beef, lamb, pork, turkey, ham or Pastrami – with your favorite side or beer; the restaurant is open daily until 10 p.m.
This year’s celebration will be even more exciting. Philippe’s will raffle off a pair of tickets to a future Dodger game. When fans arrive at the restaurant, they will have the opportunity to fill out a raffle ticket to enter the drawing. The winner will be drawn and announced the next day on Philippe’s social media feeds, and the winner will be notified directly to arrange pick-up for their tickets to the upcoming game.
The restaurant is located less than two miles from Dodger stadium and directly across the street from Union Station where you can catch a ride on the Dodger Stadium Express bus. Service leaves Union Station every 5 – 10 minutes at Bus Bay 3 of the Patsaouras Transit Plaza. With a valid Dodger ticket, the ride is free on gameday.

Food is permitted from outside Dodger Stadium, so don’t forget a few French Dips for the road. The Dodgers websites says non-alcoholic beverages of 1-liter or less are permitted as well, just no cans, bottles or thermoses.
Philippe the Original is located at 1001 N. Alameda St. in Downtown L.A. For more info and to view the menu, visit www.philippes.com.
