Coffee Exchange on Wickenden St. They just reopened their indoor space. One of the best places for coffee in the state. I'd call ahead to see about their wifi. It has been a while since I've gone there.

Borealis in East Providence would be my first recommendation but it's about 10/15 minutes drive from Providence. Excellent coffee and they serve food too. Definitely have wifi and plenty of space to work.

The Shop on Wickenden is nice, but small. Seven Stars Bakery has a few locations in Providence, and all have some space to work.

New Harvest, Bolt or Coffee Exchange are all in PVD, all very good.

Borealis is in East Providence (and just opened a second spot in Bristol!) and is also great.

Lol. He did miss two New England related questions. One was Hercules, but the clue involved James Woods (RI native), and the other was Hurman Melville, and the clue had something to do with a recent film adaptation of Moby Dick. (Book Famously starts on New Beford)

I received a liver transplant last month and am looking for things like this to get into once I am healed. I love watching the Celtics, am really terrible at playing basketball, but would love to get invovled!

Navigant is a huge pain in the balls if you want a loan. Business or personal. Refinance, mortgage, auto loan. I always try them first because their service is otherwise great but they dick me around so much I just go to greenwood credit union for loans.

All my checking is done at Navigant I guess just out of habit. All my real money is through greenwood

I’ve been with Peoples Credit Union for a long time now, they are great, no problems and I have yet to be hit with a sneaky fee. My previous banks (Citizens, Bank Newport) would hold and reorder purchases in order to make a whole ream of things bounce so they could take out hundreds in fees. Sorry but you screw me one time like that and I’m gone and closing my accounts. The shit banks can get away with is unreal. Stick with a credit union.
