Weekends are birthday party time. It’s insane all Saturday and Sunday. I’d try after work

I can't be the only one who's curious where the disappointing roast beef came from, right?

I'd imagine a random weekend afternoon is the worst time. I've only gone a few times on Thursdays and it wasn't empty, but it wasn't a sea of divorced Dads trying to bond with the kids one last time before dropping em off at Cheryl's.

Agreed. I grew up in EP so I’d always have either Miller’s or Waltz. I just moved to NP and was recently introduced to Beef Barn and I can’t believe what I was missing out on. Miller’s and Waltz are both great but Beef Barn is next level and also like half the price

I doubt that is a rental, when looking at the video you can clearly see that it's a busted up Subaru. White bumper in the back and a black primed bumper on the front.
It wasn't nothing expensive I just want to pop his tires.

Arby’s is worth the trip west In I80 I think you’ll start to see them pop up in western PA. Gimme that horsey sauce!

I see a lot of those too, unfortunately I line in a corner lot and it's open on both sides.

If it were, if someone got the plate could the driver be identified?

CAV is a most unique restaurant downtown / jewelry district with excellent food and antiques!
Started by a visionary, artsy Egyptian woman and carried on by her offspring. I performed there several times in its early years; I hear they still have live jazz some nights.

If OP is downtown, Trader Joe's would be a much closer walk than Eastside Marketplace -- but a bus goes right to Eastside Marketplace, which has the liquor store next door

I’m a fan of The George on Washington. Good food and the vibe is the right one for business.

You sure it's not a rental car?

I see a lot of houses with signs for Amazon or other deliveries to go in the back.
Another option is the UPS store on Parsonage (probably other locations/services too) - it's $20 a month for a mailbox and you can receive packages there. When you pay for a year or 2 years up front you get a couple extra months free.

Food-wise; I’m a big fan of Sarto, Pane e Vino, The George, and Circe for business meals. Circe can have a bit of a “finance bro” vibe at the bar, which may or may not be a good thing for your meeting.
The Eddy, Red Door, and Lucky Enough are all bars with excellent drinks and really good food and would be my choices if I was traveling for business and eating solo - along with Murphy’s (who’s got a great French Dip and a solid beer selection). Gracie’s is probably our only “traditional fine dining” place, but New Rivers and Persimmon are every bit as good food-wise, just a bit more casual… but Providence is super casual anyway, as you’ve probably found.

Bump for Rory’s and Eno…
but there are also some excellent breweries in town that are worth a trip and sell beer to go. Moniker, Long Live, and Narragansett (seriously; this is not your father’s Gansett) are all in town and either walkable or a short Uber; Buttonwoods and Origin share a space about 10 minutes south in Cranston; Proclamation is down by the airport in Warwick.

All those options sound intriguing — but the sandwich I'm looking for is peak flavor & peak simplicity: (med) rare road beef, kaiser roll, mayo, tomato, maybe shredded lettuce, maybe swiss cheese. It almost sounds boring, I know, but there’s roast beef — and then there’s Roast Beef. I'm looking for the sandwich that becomes your new standard.
Millers is one of the ones I’ve tried, and it was a little underwhelming.

33F never played anything more than against my sister who played on her high school team, but I'm a fat ass who'd like to get a little more sports in my life. Sounds like there might be enough interest for a meet up?
