Seconded. I’ve been to Nicks at various parts of the winter and the outdoor seating is super comfortable. Great drinks. Great food. Excellent staff.

Wow good for you for not responding to the insult

Their deck is enclosed during the winter

Parking enforcement has an overnight shift.

Don't ruin everyone else's time and make them sit outside in December. If they're that covid conscious, they can stay home or wear a mask indoors.

Los Andes is closed for lunch weekdays

Basically yes.

Yes it’s the PVD police non emergency number. It’s in their google listing.

So someone on the street is a dick

Nope / it’s cops. That’s why they won’t ticket unless there’s a complaint (vs regular walking the beat meter maids).

On east side - it’s not heavily enforced actually. Only if someone gets on the phone ……. Otherwise zero enforcement (and this is directly from the police themselves when we had someone block our garbage cans for a month. Don’t get me started on why they can’t get to the garbage cans with cars parked like every other city can……)

Parking actually only gets ticketed in the neighborhood (per a chat with the police desk) if someone actually calls and complains about - between 1am and 5am. You can’t call outside of those hours to complain about overnighting - they won’t bother. Which leads me to view this as an ill thought out half Oakes money grab rather than any concern with quality of life either way. Someone called the cops that’s why you got a ticket.

As in they aim to have zero….. oh wait. It’s Smithfield.

I went to blackies a few weeks ago and the patio was closed. They have zero Covid policy fyi.

Talulahs for a laid back vibe, though they only have margaritas

Awesome, that's where I book my providers when needed. Not to say our cute little local subreddit ain't good, but you know, it's a bit more protected that way.

Yes I am Check out Julia's pet care profile on Rover: https://r.rover.com/2ieGWF

I live in an apartment and I care for dogs in my home, but I can drop into the dog’s home for visits if needed.

From 2am to 5 am? I'm pretty sure the overnight parking tickets are given by cops.

Waterman Grille on Richmond Street in Providence. They do have a great deck overlooking the water.

> I’m going away for 2 months and was looking for someone to sit my dog after my now ex-dog sitter decided to cancel on the eve of my trip. When I’m back in Feb, I’ll be traveling again soon after.

Just my opinion but I think your decision to get a dog was extremely irresponsible.

Nick's on Broadway also has a patio with heaters.

Blackies in Smithfield. The Patio might be open I would call. Los Andes has an area that is technically outside on a deck area, but it is covered and has heaters.

Both have alcohol

>It's literally just Material-Fabulous trying to circumvent his ban.

This nonsense again?
