Yeah, $30 for 75 minutes is pretty good imo
This looks awesome. Is this the same Archery Games as in Boston? I've been there once before and it was freaking amazing... Sweat so much but it was a lot of fun! Pretty satisfying to shoot my coworkers lol

They've changed their name to Broadway 630 to reflect the starting time

Good lord, I was assuming it was $2000 total. That's not bad for providence "luxury" apartments. But $4k is ludicrous.

I’ve always felt a cafe on Atwells would crush !!

You might be overestimating the overlap between PVDFest attendees and people who care about football

I'm glad that I didn't miss anything when I tried to find an option a couple months ago. It's surprising that there isn't a place to grab an espresso and a croissant.

I think there only a couple coffee shops in the entire city that open at 6am (besides Dunkin)
Seven stars right on Broadway opens at 6:30am though

Ah that sucks. I used to live on Sutton and there was a really good coffee spot that had since closed I think. But yeah not a ton of good option, but I guess you could walk closer to downtown Starbucks near the Amp

I agree. Broadway has the coffee shops.

Yeah, there isn't enough year round foot traffic to sustain coffee shops. I've seen a couple try and fold, but the summer is the only boom time. Rents are cheaper and more people live closer to Broadway and the couple cafes there have their following.

Nitro Bar and Seven Stars are both there, but I believe open at 7am.

The only issue in the change from June that I see is that it definitely brought people downtown in a typically “dead” season and was helpful for the small businesses around the area. September is when things pick back up.

Is the nitro bar still there?

Fed hill is not what you think it is. Only people who think they’re in the Sopranos frequent on the weekends - They live outside of providence. The locals that live there go to Dunkin D

I agree, it's odd to me

Sunday has always been the "dead day" for PVDFest but I think going up against NFL opening weekend is probably going to make that even more extreme

If it can't wait until 7, you might need to learn to run on Dunkin

Bummer it was a really nice start to the summer. I think more people would show up in June too

White Electric Coffee. It’s a tiny coffee shop that’s just outside of Federal Hill. Just a couple blocks down from Classical High School. Definitely worth the money for coffee there.
