Good food picks:
-
Persimmon: Beautiful restaurant with a wonderfully warm & welcoming vibe and truly delicious food
-
Plant City: Great vegan option (even if you're not vegan). I especially love the Dorados tacos at Besina
-
Heng Thai: Best Thai I've had in Providence

I've seen Food for the Soul and I'm seeing mixed reviews. However I do want to try out Flames Restaurant

Soul Food Restaurants and Restaurants w/ soul food options
Food For The Soul ( longest one open that I'm aware of and cheap ) newer options Gee Gee's and Sommers Corner ( pricey in my opinion) - never eaten at any.
Jamaican restaurants with soul food options Flames and Island House - at at both but never went there for soul food. Both good and average pricing

While I personally don't like them, Chelos for their seafood like calamari, clamcakes, chowder, they helped make RI famous for their seafood. Then, Greggs for ther famous death by chocolate cake dessert.
(You'd like get better quality seafood elsewhere but expect to pay more).

Providence Oyster Bar is so good for seafood (which is a big staple in RI). Everything on the menu is delicious.

I've lived up and down the east coast across my life, and Providence is the best eating town I've ever lived in.

GeeGees is a good soul food spot.
Things to do downtown-- there will be a partial Waterfire lighting Saturday night and other holiday festivities. Google Three Nights of Lights for details.

LOVED the food at Kin. It’s small though so it can be tricky if they are busy.
Also for the OP: Providence has some of the best food in New England, plenty of choices! Search Google or Instagram for lots of ideas.

Lots of good food here. Check out KinPVD for some soul/southern food.

Yeah I just got an update that they are hoping to open the rink in limited capacity Sunday evening.

They had technical difficulties making the ice this week and I think they need to get a piece of equipment fixed.
But I know they're planning to be open by 12/8 because that's when they rescheduled the ice skating performance that was supposed to be tonight.

It was supposed to open tomorrow, but I’m not sure if the rain delays that or not.
I have ice skating lessons scheduled for Saturday, and it’s also supposed to rain that day. Attempting to reschedule for tomorrow or Friday. I’ll update you with their response.

Food For The Soul yes has mixed reviews never tried myself but might be a budget option. Oh yes Flames not Blaze, definitely the spot even with limited soul food offerings.
