Reply to comment by [deleted] in Do you like living in Providence? by movingtori

Do you realize that only tourists and people in Southie eat at the Pru? I’m talking about the abundance of fresh and delicious Latinx food from East Boston to Somerville. GOOD Korean food in Union Sq and Allston. Thai food that is delicious and can be Nothern or Southern Thai depending on your preference. Good Spanish food. The difference is huge. Also, you think RIPTA’s structures aren’t also enmeshed with segregation? The lack of critical thinking about Rhode Island’s issues is so odd to me. 70% of RIPTA stops don’t even have awnings for people because towns like Warren and Bristol don’t care about people taking public transport. Learn introspection.

Cambridge can’t compete with PVD on pizza.

Area Four is on the level, wood fired pizza and hipster appeal. Providence has a lotttttt of pizza but honestly not many that I crave…

Plenty of good Latino and Thai food in Providence as well. I have not had good Korean here, but the same goes for Boston as well.

Most Boston food is “meh” at best and only impressive if you’ve never had the real article. Most food critics recognize that Boston doesn’t really have much of a culinary scene. Even places like Miami and Atlanta crush it in that regard.

And I’ve had plenty of “good nights at the Pru” with actual Bostonians. Legal Seafoods, oooooh. Or if you really want to get fancy, Eataly! 🤣

I won’t even mention all the locals lamenting the closure of Top of the Hub. Yikes!

I have not. Will have to try it (my Korean palate is picky after years in Seoul.) For the referral, I say samida!

Do you have good Thai food recommendations in Providence? Because what I have tried so far is not it. I'm surprised about Korean food tho, Providence has so many good places. But maybe it is my taste since I prefer the mild Korean food which I know is not the norm

Apsara and Apsara Palace are both pretty good choices.

I’ve never had good Korean anywhere east of the Mississippi, but I lived in Seoul for a couple years back before the Great Recession, so am picky. Gotta go to LA or SF for the good stuff.

I’ll see your Warren and Bristol, and raise you a Red Line that artificially creates and maintains two “branches” based on race.

And let’s not pretend that Wellesley, Weston or Scituate are bastions of racial equality, while we are cherry-picking affluent suburbs.
