Just went to Basta in Cranston tonight for my wife’s birthday. Ah-mazing.

Metacom kitchen in warren

I grew up off Post Rd. between Rt. 37 and Ann & Hope, so on the approach side of Runway 16. The noise was fine... they don't use this runway very often, and even when they do, it's usually smaller planes that use it - the larger commercial jets still use Runway 23 (the long run between Airport Rd. and Main Ave.). Most of the traffic that flew over us was small single-engine prop planes. You learn how to tune it out pretty quickly.

One of my friends lives right off of Airport Rd. a few blocks to the side of Runway 23. The only noise I hear when I'm there is when large jets start spooling their engines to start their takeoff roll. It only lasts a few seconds.

Most houses immediately surrounding the airport should have beefed up windows to help with noise reduction. We only ever really noticed the noise when we were outside in the summer, for example.

I used to live right under the main flight path. Honesty you get used to it and don't notice it at all. For reference I was so close that over the air antenna TV would cut out for a second when a plane was above

Lucky dog in North Smithfield

Hanju Kitchen is a nice spot at the end of Fed Hill. Cajun Korean Fusion and Jazz vibes

I live off Toll Gate Rd. I rarely notice the planes but visitors do. You really do get so you don't hear them.

If someone offered me almost a mil to work a cushy job, I wouldn't refuse either. But honestly it was a bit heartbreaking to hear him talking on the radio about how he would make a greater difference at the foundation than in Congress. Yes there are 435 of them so his influence is probably not as great as we think. But how will he be able to advocate for universal healthcare in RI? I don't anything about RI Foundation and I don't wish him ill. It's just, like I said, a little heartbreaking. We need a fighter for the people now more than ever. I feel like we're just falling farther and farther behind with healthcare, housing, cost of living and everything. When will it get better?

Go to Newport and go to Perro Salado! My favorite Mexican place around. Best margaritas ever, and that's from a guy who likes very few margaritas.

I used to live a mile or two away and one of the main approaches was a ways off from our backyard. We could hear planes coming in every 10-15 mins during certain stretches of morning and evening but tbh you just sort of tune it out after a week or so and I never really noticed it again like 95% of the time.

I used to live by the airport about a street away. Honestly it isn’t as bad as you’d think. I really only hear the planes around the afternoon around rush hr time it’s background noise to me at this point.

Don't forget Rosalina!

But blue lives matter? 🤣🤣🤣🤏🤏🤏

I used to live between 113 and apponaug. Rarely heard a plane.

Bacco on federal hill, get the Armando experience. Can't recommend it enough. 4 course fancy meal!

Mills tavern

Cook and dagger in Greenville is my rec, always have great food and drinks. They just took their divine duck poutine out of rotation this season and I go so sad it's one of the few things I get excited about during the winter

I live 2 miles away between Gregg's and Balise. You get used to the noise and only pay attention when they change the traffic pattern. You learn to tune it out.

It’s loud sometimes yes

I could never remember the name of this place until your comment. Went a few years back when they were just opening and the pasta was so good.

Here is a zoomable map of airport noise patterns. Fwiw.
