Because it involves public policy hence it's political.

>God forbid a business prefers to have more parking in front of their establishment

To me, sacrificing 1-2 parking spots in front of your establishment for a safer, better community that can improve your business because it's now more accessible is a pretty obvious choice to me.

More on the safety thing: Ask anyone who walks, bikes, using scooters, is disabled, etc., if they know anyone who has died doing so in Providence and how many close calls they had that day. Perhaps that alone will change your mind.

> Its not a political issue… imagine not eating ramen you love because the guy who owns the place has an opinion about a bike lane lmao

I suggest you read on what 'Political' means. It absolutely is political as it involves policy and public affairs.

I 100% have played that machine there, but the last time I was there (a few weeks ago) I don't remember seeing it. They cycle the machines around - repairs, trade shows, expos - so it might not be available for play today. Go there and ask or message them on Facebook, they're super nice.

I'm not sure if it's the custom where you're from but here, kids will go to the houses that have their front door outside lights on.

Happy First RI Halloween, OP! 🎃

Hi OP. I live somewhat near you. Don’t worry you won’t get egged. I’ve done 5 halloweens here and didn’t always have candy. No problems. But I’d be ready for visitors from about 5-8ish if you want to give out treats. Good luck!

I do enjoy their ramen, but honestly credit where it is due for a range of traditional Japanese foods. I was thrilled to find a traditional curry that I haven't even seen on a menu outside of Japan and okonomiyaki isn't impossible to find state-side, but very well done there. They're really solid at their niche.

They actually won best of Boston in recent years (other location is Brookline). I like other options a bit more, but if that's a testament to the pretty solid reviews it does tend to have in the larger area.

Pickerel gets an A. Tori Tomo gets a B. Everything else is fast food ramen. The duck ramen at Wara Wara gets honorable mention.
