Dips Dips and Lucky Enough

Gonna check back in on this account in a year to see if it’s asking for advice on how to hide the smell of dead bodies.

Oh woah found the stand up comic and pizza expert all in one comment.

Marvin is #1 and Jeff’s is #1A. He’s just further out of providence.

I’m a straight 36 year old white dude and I can confirm no one assessed my gayness when I went there on a Saturday with my fiancé and friends.

The music was awful though hahah. Definitely catered to a young crowd. 60 second clips of bad pop remixes. I love house/dance/disco but the music was none of that

He took time out of his work day to help me and my fiancé plan our trip to Sonoma/Napa. He’s always been extremely pleasant and polite whenever I’ve gone there. He’s so passionate about the wine which I think is an underrated part of Marvin. They’re selling that wine at very good prices and don’t impose the same mark ups other restaurants would.

Correct. PVD has charm just dripping in every neighborhood. I love walking my dog around college hill/Mt hope where I live. But, come the weekend, PVD doesn’t have that electric buzz of being able to just walk by some bar or restaurant you’ve never seen before.

Again you are making assumptions about what I do with my free time when I just explained that trying new restaurants is literally my favorite thing to do.

I have been to a shit ton of bars and restaurants in RI. Like I said, that’s how I like to enjoy my city. And yes, the restaurant scene here is cool and charming. But no, it doesn’t come close to NYC in terms of the higher quality places you can find in fine dining, comfort food, ethnic food, pizza, bakeries…

It’s just the nature of being in a small city with a much smaller population of people with money to spend on dining/going out.

Yeah but we get deer tick and nyc gets Jack white.

I love deer tick…but you get the point. This city is great - but if you’re the kind of person that loves the splendor of NYC, providence can become underwhelming.

Some The best restaurants we’ve had have shut down since I moved here and nothing has come close to replacing them (birch, big king, north)

It’s a Reddit comment I made from my own personal experience. If I was writing a book on tourism of US cities, I’d give a different assessment. I don’t feel the need to editorialize my Reddit comments for the fairness of them. Im just being real because why not? This place is anonymous so why waste energy trying to please everyone?

The thing is I sincerely went to all those bars, ate at all those restaurants and danced in all those clubs. I love exploring my city that way. I used to take myself out to dinner somewhere new by myself every Friday night when I was single living there. Now, I’m very happily engaged with someone I followed to PVD to support their career since I could get a remote job in mine. We still go back to NYC for my birthday. So, if you’re a person who truly loves and explores their city, providence can get boring compared to new York. I’m not dumping on anyone else’s taste. It’s very presumptuous of you to lump me into whoever these people are you’re generalizing.

Also - I support this city the best I can. I eat out often. We make friends with and get to know the owners of our favorite businesses. We have family that have opened businesses here that employ great local people.

Be as open minded as you think you are.

It’s fine not great. Boring as fuck compared to New York.

Scheduling is the best way so you know they won’t cancel on you.

You’re going to get your dog back. Lots of great tips here. Good luck.

Moniker Brewery!

Well I hope you’ve been able to move on and start fresh my friend. Good luck with the resale. One of the first steps may be to get it appraised if your original seller never gave you the appraisal papers for insurance.

If it’s a mined diamond and not lab grown the resale value will be higher as an FYI

Jahunger is VERY good and high quality.

Pickerel gets an A. Tori Tomo gets a B. Everything else is fast food ramen. The duck ramen at Wara Wara gets honorable mention.

Bottles has the best selection and fair prices for scotch and whiskey.

Moniker Brewery has started showing the EPL weekend mornings with sound on. They post what games they’ll be showing on their IG account.

Just keep it away from kids like you would with cigarettes. That’s all that matters.
