You may not have many options available since some companies do no provide service in certain locations or buildings.

My question is do you really need unlimited internet? If you are not downloading massive amounts of data then one of the cap plans may be enough. For example I have a around 1000gigs plan and I never ran into issues. This includes lots of streaming and working from home. Just a thought.

Finally can you just change the name in the plan to you to still keep it and be grandfather into the unlimited? That may be an option

Los Andes

Jackie's by water place park

Palo

Asian bakery if you want to eat or try bahn mi (vietnamese sandwich)

Hemenway's just for their clam chowder. Other food is good but I think overpriced so unless you want for special occasion

Chomp and/or Harry's bar & burger for well burgers

Pickerel has decent ramen

Y noodle bar for a bit upscale (with price to match) Asian fusion

Y shabu shabu for decent all you care to eat hot pot

And many more I'm sure but that is what quickly comes to mind. This is broad question and with restaurants personal preferences play a big role

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

I agree that it can't compare to the number of things available in NYC but calling it boring as fuck is hyperbole in my opinion. I think for its size Providence has a lot of things to do. Also doesn't hurt that for the price of like nosebleeds at Broadway I can get mezzanine or even orchestra seats at Providence's venues.

My complaint is not so much with the speed but with the noise. Why are people driving around in loud ass cars like they are extras for the 1st fast and the furious. Time to move to the 21st century and get a quiet car that will be faster than your loud ass car anyway. Also of your windows are rattling and car is shaking that is not good bass that is distortion. End rant.

I am also hoping for a bubble pop but unfortunately I do not think it will come, at least not in the same way that it did back in 08. Sure the rate at which prices have increasing will have to stop but it doesn't mean that prices are going to crash.

The 08 bubble was mostly driven by the subprime loans being given out and interests were not as low as what we had for the past few years. That means that when prices decreased people were quickly underwater with big loans that they were already too stretched to pay. So as people got foreclosed or had to sell supply increased as demand decreased since it became an overall economy crash and people and institutions were not buying as much.

But the run up on prices during COVID is not subprime. It is mostly people that could afford it or just went a bit over budget but given the low interest rate a modest decrease in price will not be a problem for them. Unless we have a massive wave of layoffs and people cannot pay anymore we will not have the same level of foreclosures that drove prices down las time. Also, this time so many houses were bought by big corporations as investments so they will not default the same way an idividual might.

We are seeing layoffs but they seem to be concentrated in the tech sector so on higher-paid individuals so even if we see some foreclosures they are going to be in the upper range of the market. So unless the whole economy collapses I don't think we will have a drastic bubble pop.

As another here suggested Plant city is the answer OP. Entirely vegan restaurant and they have 3 different concepts including Italian, Mexican, and American fare (burgers and such) so it hits your preferences exactly. I'm not vegan and the food there is great!

I can't offer a suggestion for Korean BBQ. For Korean food in general as others have mentioned Den Den has good food but the atmosphere is a bit of fast service restaurant and the chairs are a bit uncomfortable plus it is always packed.

Instead I would suggest Wok and Pot donwcity. It has good food, soju and other drinks and overall more food options. No BBQ Cooking at the tables but if you get the budae pot I think they do bring a little burner to the table and that is a great dish to share.

I went last year for the first time and compared to NYCC it was not crowded but of course a lot less things to see and do. Even the boys panel was easy to get to and I think no one was turned away. I didn't know that being turned away was a possibility, it didn't seem so to me just comparing the amount of people. I was actually able to walk without having to squeeze by others but maybe that was just because it was still close to COVID times last year? I don't drive but there a many garages in walking distance so while the closest may be full you will have other options like Providence place mall or a garage next to Marriot which is not far for someone I assume is used to city blocks distance
