I love government efficiency

This list is a complete joke. Two of them are closed down.

Circe? Ten Steak and Sushi? Camilles?

Joke.

Circe, Gracies, New Rivers and Persimmon are great. Missing Oberlin to be sure.

Mixed use is how this should have been from the start. There’s no good reason why the TJ’s couldnt have been built like that. Its this issue of “better than nothing I guess” that keeps creeping up. Commercial real estate will be good for Downtown Providence, especially the tax base, but the new BankRI HQ probably won’t do much for the state on the aggregate versus say a new corp for the state. The current HQ is already in Lincoln, and I use HQ loosely because they’re actually owned by a Boston-based umbrella corp.

A good strategy would have at least been getting these RI companies out of the more outlying suburbs and into downtown. Amica, Citizens, CVS, and Hasbro are major employers that don’t generate a lot of “spillovers” in their local area.

It’s virtually the simplest, best old-school design that exists in order to create a flame. Spend a few minutes on YouTube looking at Zippo videos and you’ll see how easy they are to fix and maintain. My 17-year-old just resurrected an ancient (40 years old) Zippo of mine that was originally purchased in Vietnam, and it…just works.

I agree with the other comments if it's over filled let it letting sit open or out of the case for a day or two would let some fluid evaporate. I'd also ask did you use proper lighter fluid?

If it’s overfilled, leave it open overnight. Then try again in the morning with less fill. You may also look into replacing the flint or extending/replacing the wick.

If there is some other issue causing it not to light, zippo will fix the lighter but you will have to reach out to them.

Cooler Warmer!

Ya very random when the bill is posted

Ya like why are the guessing and not keeping track of usage? I don’t mind because my bills have been low, but like really?

If it's overfilled just leave the top open and let the fluid evaporate. Are you getting a spark?

I did enjoy sitting in my car with my window down and no coat reading a book on my lunch break today… but I kept thinking “it’s so fucked up I’m doing this in February”

I believe it is over filled it is brand new never used and won’t light

We need another commercial scrap metal pile along the River 😂

Moon pie...

With my finances? Prolly never go again lol.

Yes! We had our company xmas party at Capriccios in 2005. It was awesome. Not so much these days. And yes Nicks! Best breakfast I have ever had!

Agreed.

I’m not saying it’s climate change but like cmon

I've never been to any of them

What is wrong with it? I know a little bit about zippos. Not an expert but will help if I can.

They have some old stand bus that just aren’t so hot anymore for a variety of reasons.

For my wife and I. Gracie’s is still always our fave. But we limit how often we go because of the cost.

Persimmon is really good.

Mills tavern was always a fave but there have been service issues the last few times.

New rivers is excellent.

We are super biased to the Providence Oyster Bar. Our two favorite bartenders work there. As does our oldest son. So it’s sort of our go to. But I suppose it’s not “fine dining” to most folks.

Circe is excellent.

I’d add Nicks on Broadway to this list and dump Capriccio. It was amazing back in the day. Less so now. And it’s in a basement. A basement.

I was going to award this, but I pride myself on not giving Reddit money. Kudos all the same.
