Not a lot of herbivore options in Woonsocket. On the way to Woonsocket is Blackie’s in Smithfield, and they have a very diverse menu and vegan options that a lot of people love. Just throwing that out there.

Lops is a nice brewery.

Christopher’s and Ciro’s are good restaurants, but not sure how many herbivore options there are there. River View is typical unseasoned “American” food. Woonsocket is known for their French meat pies, dynamites (a spin on hot weiners) and Kay’s Restaurant (meat sandwiches) so not a lot there for options for you. Krakow Deli is a great Polish bakery, but mostly meat items. Not pointing that out to be rude, just laying out the field for you :)

Assuming you do not eat dairy, but if you do, Wright’s Dairy Farm on Woonsocket Hill Road in North Smithfield (just a few minutes from city limits) is known regionally for their pastry as well as their milk.

For things to do, Stadium Theatre is nice, as well as the Museum of Work and Culture. Millrace

St Ann Arts and Cultural Center has the largest collection of fresco paintings in North America, but tours are only on Sundays. :(

What program?

Also, side note, unless UConn Avery Point has some very specific reason that you want to go there, really consider your decision, especially if you’re paying out of state tuition there. Whenever I drive by the campus yes it’s nice that it’s right on the water, but the atmosphere is very much like URI’s bay campus… not a lot of community, truly more of a research facility.

Yeah, I’ve been up to the state house a few times to give public testimony… good times. I have good rapport with other members of the GA… it’s just hard when your elected officials are… the way they are. I have a good rapport with the town council… and tbh I think there may be an OMA violation with how it was handled in foster… we will see.

Yep, Senator Gordon Rogers already went to Foster because he is trying to get the rural towns to hire a lobbyist to fight back… meanwhile when I canvass out here a lot of people are frustrated they can’t have ADU’s.

Cool and dagger has great wings (fried in duck fat!) but they only serve Buffalo, plain, and one rotating flavor at a time. Still amazing

Reply to comment by AdIll6974 in quarters for laundry? by AdIll6974

I get it, I have a really strong and visceral reaction to some scents. I use this laundromat myself though and there usually aren’t a lot of people there. Tbh if you just go in with a mask and do $40 worth of quarters and buy a thing of detergent in the vending machine (I think they have clear all) they probably don’t care.

Some laundromats have change machines, mine does. Just do one load there and use the machine

Green jeans on 44 in Smithfield has a machine
