Reply to comment by Jack__Squat in Everyone is asking for a tip these days by leavingthecold
I've only went to 1 game there and parking charge was ridiculous, luckily I was tailgating prior so I didn't need to buy food or drinks. I can only imagine the overinflated prices even prior to Covid.

Do you even know how ignorant you sound ? Spare yourself further embarrassment and stfu.

Gillette stadium has everything compartmentalized. So if you want to buy a burger, pizza, and a sandwich you may have to go to three booths ... and every booth will ask for a tip. That pissed me off. Like I'm not paying outrageously inflated prices to begin with.

Wow, I personally don't eat at Burger King but the fast food establishments in Providence are the worst. I thought Wendy's on Charles St were making strides with self check out kiosk but it only helped a little. I make it an effort to go to the spots in Cranston, Johnston, or North Providence but sadly some of the same ding dongs in Providence have infiltrated the burbs as well. I also remember paying in exact change and it seemed like they didn't want to be bothered with it, I'm like hell its making your job easier and keeping your math skills up.
Which BK was it?

Not sure how to tell you this but “I’ve never seen” isn’t the flex you seem to think it is…

I've taken food to Amos House and to people hanging around outside of crossroads (the homeless shelter). The organizations can't necessarily accept it but that doesnt stop a hungry individual :).

Reply to Unresponsive management in loft buildings by Ahap169
Try Seaflower Property Group in Wayland Square. They manage multiple apartment buildings on the east side and actually manage, maintain and respond. The office is right in Wayland, too. Nice area of the city to live. It’s a little more suburban environment over there than where all the renovated loft buildings are located.

Valid point. Putting a highway through in the 60s was a bad idea

I got a soda and fries at Burger King the other day and it was like $6.35. I gave $7 and received no change, just a weird look as I kept sitting there after I got my food. I didn’t like that at all.

Yes, please support your local dental hygiene students if possible. We are responsible to find our own patients to graduate on time.

CCRI is also setting up appointments for their dental program students. Appointments at the same times too for any one in RI without a car.

I mean I'm asking who actually says this and all you respond with is "it just is and people do." I've never seen anyone say the Providence food scene is on par with the Boston food scene except on this subreddit lol.

Sad I have to explain this but apparently I do.
Cities like Providence fly under the radar of most people. How can you get an unbiased opinion of a city or it’s food scene if most people haven’t experienced it? Therefore “a lot of people don’t think that” doesn’t mean jack shit.
But the ones who know, know. And that includes a ton of food writers, celebrity chefs, and critics.

>Unbiased foodies would say Providence gives Boston a run for its money.
No, they won't lol.
These types of claims are ridiculous to me. Where do you come up with this? Who says this besides people on this subreddit? I've lived here almost 3 years and barely hear Providence natives make these claims.

I just moved her after having lived in California, the PNW, and Texas. Providence is by far my favorite place I’ve ever lived, for all the reasons you mentioned.

Where is the plant library there?! I used to go to that library at least once a week and never noticed it.

I have not. Will have to try it (my Korean palate is picky after years in Seoul.) For the referral, I say samida!

I’ll see your Warren and Bristol, and raise you a Red Line that artificially creates and maintains two “branches” based on race.
And let’s not pretend that Wellesley, Weston or Scituate are bastions of racial equality, while we are cherry-picking affluent suburbs.

Don't know about others but I definitely don't to talk up Providence too much on reddit, would like my rent to stay somewhat affordable (got very lucky on my current apt) we already have too many people living here and commuting to Boston, which saves them $ on rent but drives it up for the locals who work in RI and tend to make less $ than those working in Boston.

Every weekend lol, you mean once? Once is plenty enough to know you’ve been missing something your whole life. As I said, every out of towner I’ve brought there rethinks their assumptions about what makes good pizza. They still love their NY thin or apizza or deep dish or whatever, but grilled pizza wedges itself at the top with the best of them.

Because populist opinion is always correct?
Unbiased foodies would say Providence gives Boston a run for its money.
