Wow! Great tip!

Providence is the capital city of the state, should it not have the most variety? I know of places that fit or nearly fit all the places you mentioned and are great, and who are you talking to that can't even point you towards Kleo's or Yoleni's? Sounds like you have some poor sources.

Not sure I expect Exeter and Burrilville to be foodie havens, of course you're going to have to go to Providence, with some exception in Newport, Westerly, and the in betweens.

>they're hoping you've never imagined anything other than pizza or seafood.

Wait what? We don't have good pizza. It's all generic Greek-style pan stuff.

Ya got a Starbucks and an Aroma Joe’s… what more could you ask for?!

The progressive crush of (re)development and rising rent coupled with the rise of the online marketplace.

If op doesn't want to deal with walking or transfers find a place that is near an R/green line stop, that takes you straight to the station and during the morning and evening commute comes every 10-15 minutes.

If you can find a daily schedule that works for you, an Amtrak monthly pass is actually less expensive than an MBTA commuter rail pass. Taking Amtrak instead of commuter rail means that there are only 2 stops between Providence and South Station instead of about a dozen, and the train is far more comfortable. You get power outlets, a cafe car, and save about 25 minutes each way.

As far as getting to the station, if you live in walking distance to the R-Line, you can reliably get to the station. It's the closest thing Providence has to a rapid transit line, and it runs every 10 minutes or so and goes directly to the train station.

Pretty much. And let's not glance over RI's beloved culinary contributions! It includes such gems as clear chowder, cold cheese-less pizza, and flavored milk. lol. That's like if you let 1st graders pick the school lunch menu... But seriously, where are the Caribbean restaurants? German food? French? Russian delis? Where are the Southern BBQ joints!? Obviously I know RI has these places, but you gotta drive to Providence to find'em. And even in Providence they're considered niche, and therefore waaaay overpriced. I once asked a RI local where I could find a nice Greek restaurant. Their suggestion was a pizza joint that also happened to serve gyros. JFC

I used to live in PVD and now in NYC. One of the biggest changes was acclimating to commuting times. I haven't worked a job that was less than a 45 minute commute. It's just normal to me

In PVD, I would weigh heavily if I wanted to drive 15 minutes across town. Going to Boston would require packing a toothbrush.

It's all relative. I'm sure there is a lot of time spent getting to and from the stations, but for the right cost savings, I'd consider it

Also commuter rail is super expensive so see if your job can get you discounted passes. Lofts 125 allows pets and is decently priced for the space and utilities for Rhode Island. I pay 1250 for a large one bed studio. I’m sure with a kid you would want a two bed which I think they charge upwards of 1600 for but check it out. Approval process was quick(2 days)

They are almost done with the new Pawtucket commuter station there will be a huge parking lot available like most mbta stations vs providence station. I live right around the corner and I doubt traffic will be crazy right at that station so depending on what part of providence you move to could be anywhere from a 5 min drive to 40. Commuter line from forge park to back bay is on average a little over an hour but the back bay to providence Attleboro line is about the same so I expect this new one to be the same.

My brother had done with PVD to Boston commute and liked it a lot. The commute is a lot of hours, but at least you can sit and read or something instead of having to drive. If you can find a place in Elmhurst near Smith street there is a frequent bus that will take you right to the bus station.

I’d honestly look for something in Attleboro though. It probably would be much cheaper and you’d have a bit more room in terms of house / yard. It would also shave a bit off your commute each day.

Chengdu Taste will change your mind

You think Rhode Island's restaurant scene is limited to pizza and seafood?

Ceremony is fantastic

I'm just speaking generally, a job like that isn't healthy for a high schooler.

We really don't get ice here and the streets get plowed and salted very quickly. So winter biking is not bad at all as long as you own a coat and gloves

I updated my post after I found out they were looking for applicants 18+ with experience. Their initial IG post, which is where I first learned about their situation, made no mention of job requirements except to say they were at risk of closure if they don’t get immediate help.

I live in Federal Hill. I usually walk or use the rental e-bikes floating around. I usually travel late at night - the buses aren't generally available past 8pm. I've left my personal bike at the station for a few days before but I wouldn't make a habit of it.

🤡

I walk it every day, but your definition of walkable and my definition may vary, and the walk could range from 20 minutes to 40 minutes, depending on where you live in Elmhurst.

You're fun.

Incorrectly referring to city limits and getting corrected is not about being pedantic. Esp when advising someone about where to live. City limits aren’t up for debate.
