Reply to comment by JeffFromNH in Miso Paste? by JeffFromNH
An employee there told me that international foods are sourced by an outside buyer (not sure if they meant an outside company or just not at their store) and would sometimes disappear or get replaced with something different temporarily. I needed palm sugar 3 months ago when I asked, and I think it’s reappeared and disappeared since then.

So disappointing. Losing book stores stinks. Still not over Borders leaving Garden City

Ugh, sorry! I checked if Passport to Languages in Warwick does, but nope. Weird that we're in such a Portuguese strong area but no classes. I know you want in person, but I've taken online classes on italki.com and enjoyed them, but you have to find a teacher that fits with your approach.

To be honest, I just like it because I’m comfortable here now. But honestly the food sucks, the people aren’t very friendly or intellectual, the construction everywhere is unsightly, practically no interesting events ever happen here. Just typing this out is making me realize I should probably think about moving lol!

This one hit hard. Cellar Stories is the first used bookstore I ever really went to and one of the places that made me really start to LOVE books. I remember going when the old owner Mike was still there and still feel very proud of the several wry conversations I managed to squeeze out of him. Their insta post about the history was really sweet. They'll be sorely missed!

You can still visit it. They're open until the end of January.
Symposium Books on Westmintster downtown has a good mix of new and used books.
Paper Nautilus in Wayland is good.

Well damn. I just moved here recently and was hoping to go there soon. Anyone have any other used bookstore recs in RI?

Big loss for downtown, it's been a go to for recommendation for visiting friends for years.

They also offer Spanish. At least, they did a few years ago when I took it.

Check out AS220 for workshops. They'll sometimes post events like drink and ink ( screen printing ) or maybe a dance lesson?!

+10000 for glass blowing!!!
Also really enjoyed the RISD art museum when I visited (free on Sundays, yup!). But the glass blowing glass blew my mind. Highly recommend.
