Reply to Visiting for Friday day and night, any tips for cool art or fun solo things to do, early 30s artist by Alternative_Dare_980
Check out The Avenue Concept too. Their website has a map that shows you where you can find their featured public art pieces. They fund most, if not all, of the huge murals you’ll see around providence.

The Steel Yard is an industrial art space on Sims Ave. On Friday nights they have “Fab Nights” where you can go there to help them build metal sculptures for their annual iron pour event. Check them out on Instagram if you’re into that type of art.

Reply to comment by Previous_Floor in why is our government so ignorant in Rhode Island? just because the weather is warm during the summer does not mean that the homeless go away. why do they wait until the cold weather to go and fix the problem? they never gets fixed?! we obviously need more shelters unless bike path. by [deleted]
Boo hoo I don't give a shit about parking spaces. Bike path is infinitely healthier for the city and more sustainable. Cars do jack shit to support the city as a social space. They're geometrically inefficient, take up tons of fucking space (Notice how you didn't mention how hundreds of parking spaces take up tons of square footage that could be used for literally anything more important?), are alienating as hell, and as the infrastructure grows to support more cars, it supports less people. Bike paths are the exact opposite of this. They're a massively social activity, is much cheaper to get into, is inherently healthy for the individual, takes up far less space than giant fucking cars, and, yknow, can't have high speed collisions or threaten high speed collisions against normal ass people walking around the city. Fuck cars

If your at the top of federal hill, Camilles rents parking spots for $50 a month!
I’ve also lived on federal hill for 2 years, have parked on the street the whole time and have only been ticketed 4 times 🤷🏽♀️

It's all pretty good.
At besina, nachos and burrito are safe dishes for picky eaters. My kids dig those. The tacos are what I get.

Yup, jumping on board this recommendation here. They even offer stronger sedation than nitrous, if your anxiety is that severe (not free, but depending on discomfort levels it’s worth it for some people!). Everyone I’ve seen here has been incredibly friendly and soothing, very respectful of people who are uncomfortable at the dentist and they make every effort to make it as comfortable as possible.

As someone who knows the best Italian restaurants in Boston are NOT in the north end… I still am telling you no one is fucking visiting Providence just to eat at the Plaza or Constantinos.

As someone who used to work there, I can tell you you’re incorrect. North end is played out.

No one from Boston is driving to Providence specifically to eat at any of the restaurants in DePasquale Square

I enjoy anywhere anyone else would like to go, is it inappropriate that I asked to be respected as a human in those spaces…? Maybe instead of you telling me I should be more like those undesirable humans that have turned me away from wanting to hang out in open public places due to their bad behavior?

Actually I’ve enjoyed myself quite a bit since my last art project turned into men over 60 with mob mentality AnyWho been living on and off the hill the past 15 years I was just agreeing that DiPasquale is overtaken by the restaurants a common agreement among other people here… is there any reason you’re not asking them to leave the hill 😂😂😂

What I’m trying to say is depasquale square as-is is pretty unique. we don’t have many other places in providence that are like it: car-free, diverse in terms of race/age/class, walkable to other fun stuff. The bars and restaurants are a big part of the vibe (not even taking account the tax revenue, jobs, etc.) and I think they should be encouraged.
On the other hand, we as a city are blessed with a TON of publicly available green space, fed hill included. There is something for everyone, but fed hill has a specific character.
If you didn’t like the bocci park because it’s full of fed hill people, you prob won’t like another park full of the same fed hill people.

I don’t get my nails done a lot but I do like Hera Nails in Warwick. It’s clean and they include a back rub lol plus Trader Joe’s is next door.

You can barely even cut through the plaza to get to the other side! I wish there was less outdoor seating and maybe just more public tables and places to sit! There’s so many places that you can grab food/snacks from that don’t have any real seating. It’d be nice to make it back to a public space!

An Overnight Parking Permit is $100-$200 per year depending on where your car is registered. With that, you can park on the street and not get ticketed.
