I visited Kitchen Bar during one of those moments where I felt like I wanted to try something new instead of eating at the same old restaurants in Providence (no matter how good they may be). I still wanted a filling meal that wasn't going to leave me in a food coma, but that also... Continue Reading →
Blount Clam Shack – Warren, RI
The summer is prime time for fresh seafood in New England and there are a lot of restaurants purporting to provide it. Part of the fun each summer is finding new seafood places to try from the classy restaurant to the clam shack. After a little research, I discovered such a clam shack right on the...

Chomp Kitchen and Drinks – Warren, RI
Chomp is truly a hidden gem nestled on the edge of Warren, RI. I only noticed it while driving by one day because the restaurant seemed to pop up out of nowhere like an oasis. It's a little out of place in a woodsy neighborhood, but does not seem to be lacking in a strong... Continue Reading →
North Restaurant – Providence, RI
During a "Guys' Night," a few of my friends and I went to North in Providence, RI. It is a relatively "young" restaurant having been established in late 2012 in place of the now closed, "Ama's," but has quickly made a name for itself. My friends and I had never been there before and were... Continue Reading →
La Sorpresa Bakery – Central Falls, RI

Birch – Providence, RI
Birch opened up in June 2013 and I finally had a chance to visit the restaurant when I went there to eat with friends. When I entered the restaurant, I wasn't ready for how small it is. It basically only seats 16-18 people around a U-shaped bar. Nonetheless, this tiny restaurant, run by chef-owners Benjamin... Continue Reading →
Farmstead – Providence, RI
I've known about Farmstead for a long time, but for some reason every plan I made to go there somehow derailed and I kept postponing the trip. After finally having a meal at Farmstead, I can see the error in my procrastinating ways. Farmstead is known for its commitment to sustainability, local food sourcing, and... Continue Reading →
Roger Williams Park Zoo – Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular – Providence, RI
I love fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It's just the best time of year in New England with the best weather, the best food, and so much seasonal character. While I've only had the opportunity to go twice, the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo is one of my favorite new traditions. For those of... Continue Reading →
