This comment is really myopic. Providence is a small city, NYC is the largest city on the east coast. There WILL BE no direct comparison. That's like saying "This burger is good, but it's boring compared to this dry aged steak I had once"
Is it a GOOD burger? How does it compare to other burgers?

Judge it for what it is, no one is trying to lump Providence into a list of cities that include London, Paris, NYC, etc. Those are entirely different entities with different experiences.

That's a big part of my feelings on this - while I'd prefer the city find other investors and ways of making some big moves, it's been some 30 years since the last BIG move and the city is crawling forward. I love this city enough to want to see it have some progress without kicking this away and waiting (who knows how many more) years for another OFFER to come (years more away from that coming to fruition). They need to do something, and waiting several more years or decades for the perfect thing to fall in our lap just isn't practical.

Providence is the capital city of the state, should it not have the most variety? I know of places that fit or nearly fit all the places you mentioned and are great, and who are you talking to that can't even point you towards Kleo's or Yoleni's? Sounds like you have some poor sources.

Not sure I expect Exeter and Burrilville to be foodie havens, of course you're going to have to go to Providence, with some exception in Newport, Westerly, and the in betweens.
