When do y’all order? I’ve never had a problem getting ordering take out from there.

The best burger is actually at Hunky Dory in Warren.

Each three week long crew works to clean areas identified by the City of Providence and are cash paid daily for their work. During their time on the A Hand Up crew, they also work with Amos House social workers to address the issues that led to panhandling.

Thank you! Yea if i do this i’d move closer to a station. The job will be only 2 years at most. It’s just a pre-grad scool research assistant position.

I did that same commute until I moved from Boston to RI a few years back. The train isn't bad. Look into the Amtrak pass, if they still have it. I've taken both Amtrak and the commuter rail. Both are a lot easier than driving. Amtrak is generally more pleasant and has a cafe car for coffee or drinks.

Providence is slightly cheaper than Boston, but not enough to justify the move. There's not as much to do here. What I miss the most about Boston is that the food scene is much better there. And my wife misses the shopping in Boston. We tend to go away for a weekend every other month or so just so we can do shopping and eat better meals. There are some good restaurants here, but most of them are just okay. Compared to Boston, RI's dining scene is lacking in both diversity and quality.

Khao San! We just had one last night and it’s amazing!!!!

Champa is elite, best dumplings in the city IMO

So first of all, I was kidding (hence my follow-up response where I said I was kidding).

But second of all, what you’re saying is not true. We should want people from out of state coming here and spending money on local businesses for coffee, lunch, post-work drinks, etc. Massachusetts has thousands of commuters from NH and RI who all end up paying income tax to MA, even if it’s not the same percentage of salary as an in-state resident. Plus, they single-handedly keep the Waltham/Metro West upscale chain restaurant market alive.

If OP wants to move here, great! If not, they’re not hurting the RI economy by staying in Boston.

Yeah except they’re working in PVD, not Boston. Smart people with good jobs only coming into PVD for work hours and then leaving the state is not great for our greater economy.

It's pretty rough, probably MBTA over amtrak. I did providence to Boston and my days started around 4am and finished around 9pm. The pay at brown ain't really worth it

Hello! I used to live in Federal Hill and more recently have spent time commuting from Gloucester, MA to work in Boston which is an identical distance - about 1.5-2 hours each way. It takes me ~25 minutes (carpool) to get to the commuter rail, about an hour on the commuter rail, and about ~25 minutes on a bus/subway to get to work from the train station.

It’s not lovely, but if you’re only doing it a few times a week NOT everyday it IS doable. The train is pretty relaxed, and I generally listen to books on tape which is enjoyable. It’s doable - but I will say in your case I’d recommend it only if you’re close to South Station. If you have to take multiple trains or busses to get to south station, all the connections will truly be terrible. One mode of transportation for each leg of the journey is (to me) ok.

Another thing to consider is how long would you plan to have this job? Is it just for a few years? More long-term? That may help you decide. Good luck!

I second dips dips burger! They are amazing!

☝️the irony of this genius posting about other people’s credibility. 😂

El Chapin bar and restaurant in Prov has amazing burgers not gonna lie

Thailand on Atwells is the only serviceable Thai food I’ve had in PVD.

Harry’s!!

Caddy in the spring/summer

The salon and sports and leisure are my two favorites. Both really good for walking around, mingling and have really good music. Camp nowhere, troop PVD, Dr.Duffs, Nara, arcade bar, black sheep, hot club, fish co and the Providence G are all also really good bars as well! Hope that gave you a few ideas but i definitely recommend the first two, and arcade bar as well

I know you said you like EDM and Punk rock, not all of these are EDM’ish but maybe from going out you can meet people that might be able to point you in the right direction more

Didn't know that place existed. Thanks for the tip!

I can’t say much about their burgers, I’ve only had one once (it was good). But their specials? Dope. Their BBQ hot honey sandwich? To die for. I love them and I’ll pay whatever crazy prices they choose.

Scurvy dog and Dusk for punk. Red Door is great. I also really enjoy Kimis, I find it to be less clicky than most bars in the city and it's new so no one can claim it. The owners and staff are all rad humans too. Alchemy and Askew have mixed events so a good place to look into. Edm isn't my thing so I can't help other then to say watch Tight Crew for events. Born and raised in the state and have been going to the clubs here for 30 years and have worked at a few. So if you have any questions about specific places, ask I'll give you whatever feedback I have on them.

> punk rock

Scurvy Dog will scratch that particular itch

Hate to say it but it's Shake Shack.

I like EDM and punk rock - good music is a must for me
