For sure, I understand that. The podcast seems really interesting and helpful for me regardless of the name though.

I can understand. We, and our ancestors, have lived through many horrible experiences, like Kristallnacht, that have shaped our understanding of the world. Part of that has been our ability to survive, thrive, and celebrate all that has been accomplished over these adversities that we, and our ancestors, have faced. Like the joke goes, "they tried to kill us. We survived. Let's eat."

I loved La Creperie on Fones Alley off Thayer St when I visited. Delicious indulgent comfort food and not expensive!

No I know, I just mean “Broken glass” can invoke two very different feelings to Jewish people.

No I know lol, I’m jewish. “Broken glass” just reminds me of the Night of Broken Glass though, which is an extremely dark moment in Jewish history.

I highly recommend The Village restaurant for west African food with tons of meaty, veggie and vegan options!

"The Jewish wedding ceremony ends with a famous bang. Stomping on a glass is one of the best-known features of Jewish weddings. Traditionally, the groom did the deed; today the couple often share the honor/pleasure, smashing one or two napkin-wrapped glasses." From: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/breaking-the-glass-at-a-jewish-wedding/

Breaking a glass is a tradition at Jewish weddings, so there's a very positive connotation as well

Just walked down to the bridge today, worst part was climbing back up the hill! In my experience, it's quite safe. To add, that walk (Fox Point to the ped bridge) is through or around Brown's campus, so crime-wise, it's as safe as it gets.

>Thanks!

You're welcome!

What time of day are you thinking? I'm assuming that since you mentioned bars, you might walk home late at night.

As a 51yo woman, I might not walk it alone between 10pm and 4am, but maybe I would. If I were a man, I'd probably have no qualms doing so.

Thanks!

The last time I've done food for the soul was 2019 but they were amazing. I'm hoping COVID hasn't changed it

We like Andreas for Greek food on Thayer St. near Brown.

Happy cake day 🎂

Check out Dark Lady, The Alley Cat, Stable, Etc. I live downtown and my girlfriend and I frequent a lot of the gay bars/clubs despite being straight because the vibes are cool.

Welcome to the city! 🥰

That is a very poor word choice for a podcast about Jewish people.

Basically the roughest areas in Rhode Island and interactions with gays would be like encountering Roland Schitt.

Garden of Eve in Providence has great food!

Do you walk over the bridge much? Is it safe to walk from downtown to Fox Point?

I've read that Downtown is pretty friendly, and it looks like several of the gay bars are in the Downtown area. I'm completely open to locations outside of downtown, but also just thinking about keeping things within walking distance so I don't rack up a ton of Uber fees.

Lived in Fox Point for years, walk quite a bit around the neighborhood. It's safe and pedestrian friendly. There are a number of queer owned businesses and AFAIK, it's a welcoming place for gay people.

The Belmont up in Worcester.

What is Flames all about? Is that Jamacian jerk chicken?
