New to RI

Submitted by thejakes2021 t3_ywy66i in RhodeIsland

What’s up everyone, I relocated to RI for a job, I work from home so I need to meet some people! A little about me M, 25, big sports fan, love the bengals (need a place to watch/people to watch with) university of Michigan football and basketball, im in finance and my girlfriend is in social media. I play Warzone, love to bowl ( would love to join a league that doesn’t expect me to be very good ). Im a proud democrat, I’m vegan (but I’m not preachy about it, you do you baby), I like to drink beer, I have 2 dogs and I’m really excited to be here, just need some new people to hangout with. Hit me up! Edit: I live in Pawtucket, and I enjoy cigars.

Hi.

Welcome.

Would you like to mention what town you are in?

We pretty much make friends at the dog park.

> I like to drink beer

The RI Beer Club meets twice a month at various breweries throughout the state. I've only been a couple times but it's a solid outing.

Come to a Saturday "social event" (trash cleanup) in Providence! We are Cozy Rhody Trash Cleanup group, and we have cleanups usually once every 1-2 weeks.

> I’m vegan

Always love to hear that, welcome! RI is a pretty good place for us vegans, with quite a few purely vegan restaurants, a bunch of omni places with vegan options, a vegan food hall, plenty of farmer's markets, and most grocery stores have a middling to good selection of vegan products.

Hey! Welcome to RI, hopefully the sticker shock of cost of living here has worn off. Other than that I think we’ve got a nice little state. Sports is a tough one, not a lot of diversity in terms of fandoms (BOS/NY pretty much runs the show here). Lots of great bowling though, Kingston Bowl in NK is nice, Old Mountain Lanes in Wakefield, or Lang’s in Cranston. Being new to New England you should look for candle pin bowling, pretty interesting twist to the game if you can still find somewhere to do it. The interest has kind of faded over the years.

We’ve got some awesome breweries in the state if you like beer. I just went to a horror themed pop up at Buttonwoods brewery in Cranston that was a ton of fun.

You are not preachy about politics? So you are cool hanging with a conservative?

The German American Cultural society in Pawtucket has a monthly Trachtenabend(basically people who can dress up and they serve German food) the third Friday of every month. You meet various people who like beer there. It's a great place.

Welcome.

In Pawtucket, you should go to The Guild for Trivia Night. Join a group!

Also, Garden Grille is an amazing vegetarian restaurant in Pawtucket, on the Providence line.

I always went with some other folks. But it's a pretty welcoming group. I would get there early and when people start arriving just ask if they would like another to join. Next time I plan on going, I'll message you.

UofM alum now living in Providence, I definitely recommend connecting with the Boston-based branch of the alumni group for sports watch parties and other events!

Well howdy! Welcome to RI! I’m just a little ole Wakefielder checkin in. What system do you have? Warzone is cool and all, but if you got an xbox and want to violently teabag some scrubs and zombies, slide your tag into my DMs. We’ll get to dirty work real quick.
