Trapbox food truck has some great burgers on their menu. Their chopped cheese is also phenomenal.

I get that. When we've gotten takeout it's been pretty average, but in person dining is still great IMO.

Used to agree. I think the place is pretty average these days.

REI has a grip of used gear, not a ton but not a little.

Late morning/noonish on the weekends. They close at 3 so it makes sense, they’re always super busy on the weekends.

Thai modem eatery on Atwells has great food I’d be surprised if they couldn’t make that very well. They’re the only place I’ve found more authentic stuff
Everyone is saying Apsara but I know that’s a Cambodian restaurant so you’re going to be getting Cambodian versions of Thai food which my Thai family says won’t be the same. 🤷🏻♂️ I haven’t been but I only hear good things however

Thanks I'll head to MA and look around. I was just cut from Dell despite my sales being great. Our whole PT staff was.

Reply to comment by _DataVenia in Commute from Boston by chocosunn
After a few years in both cities I feel like I need a car to fully take advantage of living in Providence versus in “Boston” I could take transit most places pretty quickly.
I put Boston in quotes because the transit connections mean you can pretty cheaply and quickly go all over the entire region. When I wanted to go to Lincoln Woods I’d usually have to drive unless I caught the 54 bus. But, in Boston I can do a pretty cheap $30 day trip to Newburyport, Rockport, Salem, Wachusett, Hull, Quincy, etc. I actually did the Providence Ferry over the summer after taking a train in and while it was a pain in the ass to have to transfer, that was a good feather in the cap.
The fact of the matter is it’s tough to run out of stuff to do in a well connected metro area. Theres plenty of neighborhoods to explore.

Winter, waking up extra early, 90 minutes on the train, 20 minutes on the subway, 15-20 minutes by car, each way. Also, born and bred RI, any travel above 15 minutes requires a pack and a sleeping bag cuz I’m sleeping there.
But mostly it was just being unaccustomed to the demands of commuting, and having such a drastic commute to begin with. It was a good hour and a half one way on a quick day, if the trains were on time and nothing went wrong. I’ve since gotten used to commuting but still, I don’t know that I would every try it again outside of day trips to Boston.
That and my commitment that had me doing it in the first place wasn’t lighting the fire I thought it would do the whole thing ended up being pretty soul-sucking

I commuted to Boston via MBTA for two years. If you’re already familiar with the T, you’ll know what to expect as far as the trains and reliability go. As far as the commute itself, it’s not terrible. The only downside is the additional travel time can wear you down over the course of the week, especially if you’re unable to catch express trains both ways.

The Providence > Boston part is fine. Dealing with the T once you're there will add a bunch of extra time, depending in where you have to go. If you work close to Back Bay or South Station you'll be good, otherwise plan for some extra time and frustration (still doable, bring a book/movie).
I did from just inside the RI border to Boston for years and it was okay. Better than driving!

I’ve been commuting to school in PVD for a while and personally I prefer taking the train over driving at any point in the day. It’s longer, but I’m able to nap/zone out/get some work done.
In terms of cost it would definitely be more economical if you took the commuter rail from Hyde Park (Zone 1) on southwards because a single round trip from Zone 1 to Zone 8 (PVD) costs the same as a one way ticket from Zone 1A (Forest Hills, Ruggles, Back Bay, South Station) to PVD.
I haven’t had too many bad experiences with CR reliability; my main issues usually stem from delays on the OL, but having to wait another hour for the next train isn’t fun.
