Reply to Date night suggestions by what-_-

Not necessarily all night-time activities, but here are a few good ones that I've taken dates on:

  • The Grand Bellevue Dinner Train - Dinner on a train (duh), but they also do themed murder mystery dinners that are a lot of fun.

  • The Providence Rink - Right downtown, and they do roller-skating/ice skating with DJ's providing music.

  • United Skates of America - more roller-skating, but indoors.

  • Sporting Clays - Blow some clay pigeons out of the sky at either Addieville (Ask for Todd) or Peace Dale

  • XSpot Archery - Learn to shoot a recurve bow.

  • Driving Range - Hit up Button Hole. It's a small local course and driving range.

  • Virtual Top Golf - At the Graduate.

  • Roger Williams Park - Check out the zoo, go for a walk, there's a bunch to do over there.

  • Trampoline Park - I like Skyzone. They have trampolines obviously, but also some Ninja Warrior-type activities and a cool climbing wall over a giant foam pit. Best time to go I've found is right when they open at 10am. Hardly ever any kids there at that time.

  • Mini-golf - I'd suggest Mulligans Island.

  • Curling - Learn to curl with the Ocean State Curling Club

  • AS/220 - Take a class or a workshop together.

  • Wineries - My favorites are Nickle Creek, Mulberry, and Diamond Hill.

  • Breweries - My favorites are Long Live Beerworks, Moniker, and Beer on Earth.

  • Gokarting - Head over to R1. They also have darts, axe throwing, and some other shit.

  • Trivia/Karaoke - WRIK is my favorite, and they have options for just about every night of the week.

  • Jazz nights - Mondays at Red Door, Wednesdays at The Royal Bobcat

  • Line dancing - Tuesdays at Hometown Tavern

  • Cosmic Bowling - Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at Lang's Bowlarama

  • Soul Power - My favorite dance night in Providence. Every 2nd and Last Friday of the month at Dusk. Grab pizza around the corner at Lost Valley/Revival or a drink at ISCO.

  • Rathskeller - Dinner every Friday at the German American Cultural Society. The best night to go though is "costume night" on the 3rd Friday of every month.

  • Comedy - Catch some stand-up at the Comedy Connection. Grab dinner/drinks at the Black Duck nearby.

  • Catch a show - Check out the schedules at any of the local venues. I like Fete, The Met, The Strand, and The Columbus. The PPAC is good too, but it's gonna be more expensive.

I also have a public Google calendar here that I update from time to time with recurring as well as one-off events.

I have 3-5 times a week since august when the application was approved for the gas connection. I even wrote a letter of non financial hardship to explain the urgency with a newborn on the way. There is ZERO transparency in the company or information as to when they will dig the line. If I don’t call and basically beg for a dig date they just leave me on read. They’ve given me two dates both have long come and gone. Still no gas line.
