I would literally offer my home if we had the space and didn’t have a crazy dog who would torment your cat. Sending you positive vibes that you will get out of there!

Providence Oyster Bar is so good for seafood (which is a big staple in RI). Everything on the menu is delicious.

LOVED the food at Kin. It’s small though so it can be tricky if they are busy.

Also for the OP: Providence has some of the best food in New England, plenty of choices! Search Google or Instagram for lots of ideas.

Reply to Does anyone commute from Providence to Boston each day by train? We are seriously considering purchasing a home but we work at Mass General Hospital. Looking for people with experience to either talk us into it or talk us out of it. by [deleted]

I can’t speak regarding the trains. However, my husband and I just purchased a home in Pawtucket because house prices are literally $100,000 cheaper in RI compared to MA (we lived in MA previously and are originally from the cape). Anyways, we live only a couple hundred yards away from the Mass border. My husband has to travel to Logan weekly for work trips. He can commute to Logan in about 45-60 min depending on the time of day. We are so close to the highway that it is almost easier than when we lived in Franklin, MA. So maybe checkout Pawtucket and consider driving? We also have a new train station coming soon I believe, so in the future, train could be an easy option.

We are still close to Providence (which was something we wanted) but we still get a suburbs feel and live on a quiet street with a big yard. We also got our house for so cheap it’s crazy lol. We are thrilled so far.
