The Sporting Club at the Bellevue celebrating it's 21st Birthday

The Sporting Club at the Bellevue celebrating it's 21st Birthday on January 21, 2010. The party was a resounding success with well dressed peeps, mostly members of the Club and the well healed of Philadelphia rubbing elbow to elbow, especially in the hallway where the food lay in wait. There were several bars in the narrow hallway, and a strategically placed one in center court on the basket ball court. It was my understanding that this was the first time they held a party in this room, I felt guilty walking on the floor and suggested to a few people that maybe we should remove our shoes. They assured me the floor would be fine.

The Sporting Club is part of The Bellevue complex which includes the Park Hyatt Philadelphia, restaurants XIX and The Palm, and exclusive shops such as Tiffany & Co.,Nicole Miller, Williams-Sonoma, Origins and Teuscher Chocolates as well as offices for the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, Tierney Company and Pennsylvania Realty Investment Trust. It’s a great place to work out, dine, shop and stay right in the heart of Philadelphia’s downtown.

Philadelphia Style Magazine Publisher and now he's adding Washington DC's Capitol to his resume, John Colabelli. I hear he will moving his operations down there and running both magazines from that office, but he's not disappearing for good as he will be here two or three times a week; with Sabrina Tamburino Thorne who's jetting down to Jamaica this weekend for a destination wedding.

This is the Ritz of the Philadelphia gyms. Basketball court, pool, squash, a boxing area, ballet room, several group fitness rooms, a yoga studio, an indoor track, a large workout floor with state-of-the-art machines, a fleet of treadmills, each with their own television.
