There's a couple of popular local donut places- pvdonuts if you want towering creations of anything sweet you can find in a kitchen (I've really liked some of them, but a lot of their stuff is too much for me), and knead for fantastic basics with some nice flavors.

Reply to Proposal would ban more than 3 college students from living together in Providence by SwimmerNos

I for one have to say this is the most ridiculous proposal I have read. To treat the student population as anything less than standard citizens is down right discriminatory. The fact that this is sweeping across Brown, RISD, PVD College, and Johnson and Wales is going to have severe and adverse effects on students who already struggle to find affordable housing while trying to pay for school. The council woman says this is help with the housing stock problems but this creates no new dwellings, this only displaces a whole demographic who rely on this housing due to proximity to their respective colleges and universities.

In all honesty to make a proposal of this nature is downright negligent and ignoring the real problem at hand which is rent control.

There is a place in the back of Sanchez Market on the corner of atwells and academy. It is a convenience store in the front and there is a stand in the back. Authentic as it gets and so good.

Oh I’m all for the shitty looking hole in the wall shops. The best Mexican food I’ve had was in this old shopping strip. Out dated building. No AC - they literally had a barn fan in the restaurant. Was still sweating my ass off, but damn. Best food I have ever had.

Fancy Mexican places are usually terrible, I think most Texans prefer the hole in the walls. Thank you!!!

Ah, you commented on my last post!

Thanks! Not a fan of Indian food. I worked in Plano, which has a very large Indian population and plenty of Indian places! I tried multiple times but I just can’t. 😭 Afghani food tho… that’s where it’s at!
