If you do stop by Ye Olde English Fish & Chips, right around the corner is the old train station and the statue of Hachi. If you've never seen the movie it's a modern day version of an incredible true dog story and worth you looking up the movie and the older story.

Chans food is NOT good, but it's such a part of all of our history that somehow people keep going there.

I just looked this place up looks pretty cool looks like the food is decent too. What type of crowd is it? Is there any trouble there ever? And also is it dancing or just like a chill relaxing environment?

Also, their steak and cheese sands and lobster rolls are phenomenal.

Applebees I’m garden city use to have two young guys come into the bar on I think Wednesday nights and sing live music they reminded me of that group oasis or something like that they were good. Does anyone remember this was probably about 2009-10 that I’m thinking. Does anyone know any low key music like this that’s not at an actual club but just a restaurant or lounge?

Depends on what you're into. What are some hobbies and then look for some groups.

And the same owners as $3 Bar
I hope they make it, for the sake of the people who made a living from working there. But this seems pretty ominous.

Reply to Passing lane by Street_Run_6445
I see this subject pop up all of the time. I think it’s important to note that this is an entirely different discussion if the traffic conditions are free flowing or congested.
TL;DR The passing lane law does not take into account congestion..letting someone by in heavy traffic vs free flowing are two very different things.
Free flowing? Sure I’m doing 80-90 most likely but if you’re feeling like a mad man, you can scoot on by.
Congested? I’m not moving because I am not the problem and generally consistently passing if there isn’t a huge backup. I would contend that in congested conditions that the left lane should be considered a travel lane. Simply that space/lane is needed to distribute flow. In this conditions I would argue that people who expect to be passing and aggressively change lanes to do so make traffic worse. Why? Because tight merges between lanes causes other people to brake, which causes other people to brake, which ultimately can have the effect of slowing down many people behind this event just so one person can get somewhere 1-2 min faster.
In these congested conditions some people need to accept that things are just going to take a little longer and there is no magic way to pass your way by the traffic.

They have great food, I'm sure all will be fine though. Same owner as Camp Nowhere if I'm not mistaken

Seconding some of the highlights from this thread: Blackstone Valley bike path is very well maintained and is beautiful at any time of year, Stadium Theater is a historic site as is St. Ann's - both worth the trip (if they are open while you're there), the Museum of Work and Culture is excellent, as is Precious Blood Cemetery, which has monuments like the Angel of Grief, that rival those in nationally-renowned cemeteries like Sleepy Hollow, Swan Point, and Mt. Auburn.
As others have mentioned, although there are a lot of great restaurants, there's not a lot of vegetarian food on offer in Woonie. You might want to visit Wright's Dairy Farm, just over the line in North Smithfield and enjoy a pastry and some local coffee milk. Or try an ethnic restaurant like Swagat or the Boss.
