It’s grey and miserable, and the days are short, so unless you have a pressing need to visit, holding off for even a month would be advisable. Spring is glorious!

Broadway Bistro. so good.

Slow Rhode, Oberlin, Avenue N, Courtland Club, or even Troop. Royal Bobcat is good, too, then go down to Olneyville New York System. Just please not Red Stripe, that’s like Gregg’s in disguise.

There are allergen free cats? Or cats with less dander than others

Ah you’re right I should have mentioned that part!

Level up in value and go to half priced happy hour between 3-5pm for an early bird dinner.

Feb is snow month, if we get snow. Every year all the snowfall for that year comes in feb/some late Jan. The biggest thing is that I plan any flights in Feb with flexibility for cancellation. Don't get yourself a 9pm flight the day before you have to be back at work. I've been at TF green in feb with every flight grounded and you don't want to be stuck like that.

Also, New England has this made up thing called Feb break, so some of the schools might be on a vacation in both MA/RI if you come that week. It might also increase flights/hotels/etc. Locals might not know that this bizarre observance isn't a thing in MI (or like 45 other states) and might fail to mention it.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s insane that the city can cause massive and unexpected damage to your home and then just take their sweet time compensating you for their damage.

We made several calls to 311 and the lawyer finally got back to us yesterday. Now we have the form that we need to get the check but I can only imagine how long it will take for the check to arrive.

I lived in Detroit for a couple of years and just moved back during the pandemic. February in Rhode Island is much more tolerable! Granted I did live there during the polar vortex >.<

That's awesome that you went but insane that it was scheduled that way. Stay active. Lots more BS to attend at state and local meetings! Providence is lucky to have people like you willing to go the extra mile to attend such meetings.

Glad to hear it! That's reassuring. Thanks!

Good to know, thanks!

Yeah dude in the middle of nowhere in Warwick too.

I took a half day, and took the bus, cause I knew it was gonna cost me a lot more than 4 hours lost wages in the long run.

Though jokes on me, it still went through so I'm out the 4 hours and the price gouging.

They were super brazen about passing the costs of the sale 100% on to us to they didn't even pretend otherwise it was bullshit

It’s def not colder than Michigan winters! For Providence, it’s probably not going to make a ton of difference other than cold and daylight. For Rhode Island in general, you’re obviously not going to have a summer beach experience. But other than that, I’d say perfectly fine to visit Providence in February

If you're staying somewhere downtown, you can still get around and visit restaurants, bars, theaters, sporting events, etc. even if there's a snowstorm or very cold weather during your stay.

Yeah. It was 60 degrees today so 🤷

I don't love sartos menu but it's a cool spot, couldn't get a res at new rivers but I've heard good things, pasta beach is good but they didn't post their menu

Damn, sounds just like it is here in Michigan. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the insight!

This year has been extra odd, and we've had winters that start pretty mild like this one but ended with an asston of snow, it might be just cold and grey and it might be a frozen helllscape, way too hard to predict these days.

I've lived in Providence for 7 years and personally I've never had an issue with multicultural diversity "nonsense". I guess I just don't understand how the op's problem has to do with race or culture, sounds like they have shit neighbors.

To be fair to your point though, if given the choice I wouldn't live in smith hill.

Whats so racist about this, this is a real life observation not a opinion. If you lived there or live there currently you will know what I'm talking about.

Wasn't the meeting held at like 10am on a Thursday? My dude, I was at work.

Most racist shit I've read all day.
