I tried a place in Uxbridge, MA called the UxLocale and it was worth it!! Not crazy fancy but excellent menu. Pasta was from Venda actually

Metacom Kitchen in Warren. It’ll be pretty close to your 30 minute drive threshold, but worth it. Delicious food and lots of good drinks and wine.

I’m so happy Officer Daniel Dolan has been rewarded for shooting at teenagers and putting the West Greenwich community at risk.

They know what busses are, and they're not interested.

Thank you for the time to answer.
And I agree. Someone has to pay for it. No argument there. Paywalls are here, not going anywhere and they pay my rent, it's all been timelessly drilled into our minds time and time again as we navigate a digital space since its early days. But given the current structure of how journalism is incentivized, and the threat it actually poses to equal access to information, Democracy. Wouldn't you think the model needs to be revisited to ensure that we all have equal access to public information? Fairly and transparently?
Journalism was meant to hold power into account. A primary pillar of Democracy before and still today. However, given the state of disinformation and misinformation today, and the demand for accountability and truth in the general public, How can the arbiters (journalists) today truly be a measurable tenet of truth and justice today if that is what truly defines the state it is in? In essence, I'd argue like many others that the integrity of journalism has largely turned its back on people with this digital methodology when other models have yet to be explored or are lacking.
This isn't to harp at journalists, but a call for integrity, truth, and accountability in the model that defines it today. It's leaving a lot of people left out and very simply concerned, even for the uninformed. The integrity of information is key to reconciling many of the issues we will face in a challenging future. It's in some aspects dangerously undermining democratic processes, it's being disingenuous to the American public, to democracy, and the foundations of coveted ideals today. It can change, instead of selling out.

Whole-heartedly agree. It's the best restaurant in the entire state, imo. The problem is OP said 30 minutes, which I think is quite a bit more, depending on where they live.

Make it a 45 min drive and check out Matunuck Oyster bar. They are having restaurant week specials and it is totally worth it. Great food and great location.

High end ($$$$): Gracie’s, the coastguard house, mills tavern.
Middle ($$$): Persimmon, The East End, Siena, Los Andes, CAV
Low end ($$): cook & dagger, Bristol oyster bar or Providence Oyster Bar, the District, Durks
There is a range in dining style here. Durks, The a district, the oyster bars are fairly casual. Gracie’s is very posh. The rest are middle of the road when it comes to dress and comportment.
All are good places to eat though.

Is his department still trying to fire him anyway? If so, and he was acquitted, why couldn’t they have just fired him in the first place, instead of now having to pay him for not working?
