https://shopnava.com/ or some of the spots on Hope St like http://phfactorstore.com/ might have some good options!

It's fine but not nearly as special as Big King was and tbh a bit overpriced. I would go to Ran Zan (or Yume Ga Arukara in Boston) over Pickerel anyway!

I'm not really sure to be honest, she seemed pretty distressed when we chatted and didn't seem to have a real plan in place—I think more or less it's an anything goes kind of situation, seems best to maybe just stop in when they're open and make an offer for whatever you want!

Is there a New Harvest downtown anymore? I went into the arcade the other day and they aren't there (I think just in Olneyville near the Farm Fresh on Sims)

Totally agree on this—I find their approach very offputting.

What made you think he was going to be a bike ally? All I ever heard from him during the campaign was how bad he thought bike lanes were!!!

I really liked Nirva but still kind of wish she had dropped out in the last two weeks when it was clear Gonzalo was pulling ahead—feels like it just ended up splitting the progressive vote unnecessarily.

Yes, I love Good Fortune! I wish we had an H Mart around here too—Good Fortune is amazing for Cantonese + some Southeast Asian stuff (though not a TON of Thai) but doesn't have as much of the Korean stuff I used to be able to get easily in New York.

Fair enough—it's a BIG area I suppose and almost feels like it has a few different sub-neighborhoods. I'm close to the Armory which has been quite nice!

Would second that there are lots of places on the West End that are super lovely—sort of street by street. I've lived in several spots between Cranston and Atwells (so, West End → Fed Hill) and had only good experiences. Fox Point is lovely as well but it is quite young + sometimes a little too "college student" vibes for me.

I can't say enough things about Ben Guglielmi (and Mott & Chace Sotheby's International Realty in Prov generally)! We bought a house with him this Fall and he was super helpful in explaining everything to us (first time home owners) and also got us a lot off the price in credits for things we would never know to ask for.

Really? I live on the West End and adore it! Loads of cute stores, good food, nice park, etc. What don't you like?
