Thank you. We seen that and considered going. Will definitely go now.

Sure! I could recommend a few good seafood places.

I have eaten at a few seafood places. Unfortunately my fiancé does not like seafood. Any recommendations though?

Can't say about the BBQ but check out WaterFire tomorrow 10/22. It is a very Providence thing to do.

What are your thoughts?

So dumb and would further drive up the cost of housing

Great Northern is also good.

In all honesty, this is a pretty broad New England Itinerary. Rhode Island has some really special local foods and some wonderful local restaurants-- if that's in any way your thing then I'd just see what is in your interest. Great Northern is also really solid, but I'd also recommend you branch out to stuff like seafood that will probably be more unusual for KC.

That's just me, though. This itinerary is pretty touristy (which is fine) and a lot of time on the highways, but locally we have a ton to offer if you want suggestions. I'd recommend wickford village, pastiche and federal hill, and a walk through downtown areas like the pedestrian bridge. Brown, Hope st., Benefit St. are all beautiful to walk around, especially this time of year, and the Colonial homes are so colorful and unique.

edit: wickford is about 30 min south, but you seem to be looking outside of PVD

Does this mean that when I visit a Kansas City I should ask on Reddit where to get the best Shrimp Mozambique?

Seriously? Stay home if you want BBQ. You come out this way for seafood.

We like different so we'll check it out. Thanks!

No drive is too far for good food. Best part of traveling. Thank you!

Wow thank you! Adding a lot of that to our list.

lived here my whole life!

best streets: Westminster St (downtown) Wickenden St (east side) Broadway (west end)

food: oberlin (high end) figidini (fancy pizza) den den (korean bbq), apsara (thai), troop (brunch), los andes (peruvian), fellini’s (quick slice), pastiche (dessert)

for events: jack o lantern spectacular, iron pour at steelyard

to do: RISD museum, cellar stories bookstore, india point park, swan point cemetery, roger williams park

Great North is a little different but I think the best in Providence

If you’re willing to travel this far for great food, take the trip over to Warren Ri while you are here to go Craft Revival Kitchen and get the Marsala Braised Pork Osso Bucco. I’ve lived here for 1.5 years and it’s the best dish I’ve found in Ri. (Water Dog down the street also has incredible octopus tacos if you’re into that kind of thing)

This is the way

Thank you. We will check it out.

This. It’s the only answer.

Durks for BBQ

Lmao, I know the owner John personally. He cooks with his soul. He worked his entire life in kitchens with cooks from central and South America. His food is good af and more authentic than 99% of the ish out there on God fam.

I have, which is why I said “solid food”

Go try the food

Ok I wasn’t commenting on their heritage and ethnicity, the food they serve is delicious and I feel it fits what’s been sought after.

I mean it was in theory - but what you see on the surface only means so much. I don’t doubt it was going to be a ridiculous, unrealistic cost to “make right”. Nobody was going to pay that - and anyone that would would have made it something people would have said doesn’t fit in (places that require huge investors are never charming or quirky).

Everyone loves to complain!

California Taco Shop is legit surprisingly authentic and good, totally second that. They even had melón agua fresca once.
