Looks good but 0 vegetables. Can we not use lettuce and tomato?!

I mean sure is their basic burger a standout compared to other basic burgers? Probably not. But hardly any places have the variety they have and very few have unique flavor combos that they do. Most places just offer one, maybe two, types of burger. And the crazy one may just have guacamole on it.

Yeah when you go to order online at 9:15 and they’ve turned off online ordering cause they’re already buried. 🫤

Don’t love their fries though.

I will say they use a lot of high quality ingredients (I don’t like it myself, but their ketchup is made in house).

So you’re paying for that. They also have a lot of unique combos/flavors they use.

Not an everyday burger type place but it’s good.

Except they don’t have tomatoes!

Yeah no, it’s overpriced. And full of expired food.

Congrats on voluntarily getting hosed lol

It’s not like TJ is the only alternative….

It’s not that TJ is cheap. It’s more so Eastside market is ridiculously overpriced.

Yeah I went to Eastside Market once when I moved.

The food expiration dates were sketchily close (even on dry food) and it was like $6 for a small box of Frosted Flakes…precovid. Most expensive supermarket I’ve been to.

If it actually had stop n shop prices, it would be 10x better. And it would mean the shelves may actually have movement…

Seriously in some areas of the country this is a standard winter day….

This is why we can’t have nice things. You have to have your way and you aren’t willing to compromise.

Well it’s the anti-2023 mindset of convenience. It’s like insisting on not having tap and pay because we were functioning fine with paying cash.

Most wine/beer are large/national brands with significant backing and distributed whether you go to a liquor store or a grocery store. I’ve seen Whole Foods and even major chain grocery stores have local beers because that’s what is popular.

It’s not like all of the PVD liquor stores are selling wines that were shipped directly to to them by the middle class family who owns a little grape farm in Tuscany.

They were obtuse and insisted on the bike path going directly through the Hope Village area. They should have just had the bike path go up Hope then once to Hope Village divert over one block into Lorimer which goes straight to Blackstone parallel to Hope Village.

This keeps the street parking in Hope Village (which is needed, particularly October-March when biking dramatically decreases) and still provides a bike lane along a long stretch.

My guess is the study would show rather low usage.

Some places only allow grocery stores to sell beer and wine - no hard alcohol. I think that’s a good balance.

Most grocery stores aren’t going to sell a very unique/good selection of beer or wine.

Block Island doesn’t have a ton of restaurants to begin with so I’d figure out which ones are open before you go. Nantucket/Martha’s Vineyard would have more options (ie restaurants, lodging and things like the whaling museum)….it just depends on what you’re looking for/to do

Remember when this Trader Joe’s was going to bring down Providence by creating chaos and gridlock?

According to this Reddit…

But there’s no parking! Lol @ RIers

It’s not that fast but more importantly also not that frequent.

Yeah this is a train to nowhere. A true high speed PVD to Boston would have 100x the impact.

That was a terrible location for Dune Bros. Enjoying a lobster roll on the patio along that stretch of N Main? Hard pass.

Kneads cold brew couldn’t be more bitter to me. I think it’s Bolt?

The lofts tend to have noise issues (very neighbor dependent) which isn’t unlike other apartments per se. Sometimes these can be very grad/med student heavy so definitely visit.

When I looked at them they were just massive complexes. American wire is the new name for the ones across 95 downtown right? Literally took 5 minutes to walk from entrance to the apt I looked at.

They are nice looking! There are probably some smaller buildings that have availability downtown (I’ve seen apts listed above the old Knead downtown location for example).

To keep it simple: I don’t think it’s a problem here anymore than most (if not all) of the country to where you shouldn’t come to RI.

I was worried about this thread being full of ridiculous “complain about RI” answers. Thanks for being reasonable and providing a good response! Haha

Vegan and vegetarian are very different in the breakfast world (ie eggs). Amy’s is mostly breakfast sandwiches and buttermilk pancakes. I guess they have smoothies.
