Good majority of Asian restaurants are open on Xmas, this includes the South Asian owned fried chicken joints as well. Kennedy now Royal Fried Chicken or Crown Fried Chicken.

Panopticon 🤘

Just make sure you order early, we celebrate on xmas eve so last year we decided to get Chinese takeout on xmas day and it took over 2 hours.

"If you get to where the Ann & Hope used to be, you've gone too far...."

La Boutique Nails is my favorite. The women that own it used to work at Metro Nails before opening La Boutique. I’ve found that my experience is more consistently good there versus Metro Nails.

Pvdbikejam may have a lot of folks you can talk to

Cue the Deer Tick song - “Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant”

I'm not Jewish, but I know about this tradition. A few years ago, I introduced some family members to it.

Our family Christmas was put on hold because my dad was in a nursing home and we visited him. We had no plans for after, so I suggested that we go to the local Chinese restaurant.

I have nice memories of our feast. I picked out the dishes and explained the history. No one else knew....

I later mentioned it to a Jewish friend, who said - "Yes, the secret is out".

Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas.

Thankyou! I hope you have a happy and safe Hannukah

As a Jew on Christmas, I'll let you in on a little secret of our people...

Almost all of them!

I walk my dog all over Fox Point. Considering the high density of students I've been surprised at the number of "Apt for rent" signs I've seen on the neighborhood triple deckers throughout fall. (Not sure I've seen one since Dec 1 though. But then, I'm not looking.)

Doesn't help out-of-towners. And presumably they are also listed online somewhere too? Just chiming in here to confirm that there are vacancies past Sep 1, even on College Hill.

Thirding Metro.

Hotpads is always my go-to

...Squidward?

J&J nails hands down

All that matters is that you sort by new. Anything more than a few days old is going to be a dead listing, overpriced, or have some serious red flags (why wouldnt the first 100 people who emailed in the first 3 weeks according to the listing have filled it?).

At least between the seekonk and route 10, biking is faster than driving

Nail Bar hands down

Oh the Park Row apartments? I’ve done some Uber eats deliveries there, but never gotten the chance to shoot a shot haha. I’ll always miss my bike messenger days when I could get pics from the high floors of the downtown buildings

Thanks! I shot this through my window

Definitely the State House, also I absolutely love this picture! I’ve gotten one from a similar spot, but a different time of day so it didn’t turn out the same haha

Ehh, are we?😉😂

Zillow, but it was rented through Samson Realty

I just moved here too and have been experimenting! I got UV gel at La Boutique Nails on Hope St I believe? It’s by India and 3 Sisters. But I’ve NEVER had a gel manicure last so long! It was great and not expensive. Also good quality and price at Justina Nails and Spa also on Hope St I think. It also lasted long. Neither of them chipped at all and I waited way too long to go back in lol. But I’ve only been to each twice so…. But I have faith!
