I used to really enjoy the Ivy Tavern's burger but the last couple times I went it was pretty crappy...not to mention expensive!

I assume sheet pizza-- like a lot of other cheese-less, topping-less pizzas-- is a cost effective way of feeding a lot of people (read: children) at parties.

Harrys is great and they have special prices during day time hours. The Abbey is great too.

Thats one of the things that sold it for me, that and more career growth options. If I miss Providence, I go there for $10 round trip for a day or even a weekend with friends. Come Sunday I can usually leave satisfied. Boston’s got so much you’d have to do that a lot to exhaust your options.
As you pointed out its a literal hub for so many destinations too. Living in Providence lets you live near Boston, but living in Boston lets you get to a bunch of cities sized like Providence.
Also, not gonna lie, its not that much cheaper. Its variable by the age of the units on the East Side but many of the studios and 1 beds are in a similar range, especially near transit hubs. On the aggregate its cheaper, but Im also in the camp where I felt like I needed to spend $300 a month on having a car in Providence.

I wouldn't mind having the statue in my apt. It's a sweet statue. You could put different hats on it.

I guess this means rent is going up even more this year.

Well, I'll give Paolino credit, recharacterizing Columbus as a figure of Italian-American pride is cunning.
That framing will allow for the downplaying of complaints from minoritized groups who don't consider Columbus to be aspirational by invoking the historically minoritized status of Italians. The goal, it seems, is to recast Columbus not as a national hero but rather as an ethnically-specific one.
It's all just sleight of hand, though. The statue was taken out of public display for a reason, and it had nothing to do with anti-Italian sentiment.

Although I'm not a huge " user" I do believe in the power of Medicinal- Herbal solutions. I am also learning more about mycology after watching someone cure a back issue western medicine let go one for 15 years. Mycologist...a weekend

The public transportation options from Boston were amazing. We lived right next to North Station. Feel like going to Portland? Amtrak is right there and gets you there quicker than driving. Provincetown? The fast ferry is a short walk away and avoids all that Cape traffic.

I prefer the annual tradition of Columbus' statue being publicly vandalized and defiled.

They aren't pizza. Pizza--as most people know it--is better than the flatbread and sauce people around here treat like some delicacy. Damn yokels need to travel some more.

They only taste good if made like actual pizza--cheese, sauce and toppings. Bread and sauce is just that and not pizza.

Damn right. That squared bread with sauce is not pizza. Lifelongers love to fetishize it.

Im a lifelong Rhode Islander snd have had the opportunity to travel to many other states and countries over the past 10 years.
Ive realized how much RI has to offer. It is really an amazing place.
I also realized the most Rhode Islanders don’t appreciate what they have and chronically complain about it.

Except it doesn't.... McAfee is riddled with false positives. My link goes straight to RealEats website with a referral code attached. That's all. It's from their reward page directly.

Five Guys in Johnston (their fries are hard to beat too), Slow Rhode. Ivy Tavern burgs used to be OK but something changed about them (other than the exorbitant price). I wanna check out The Abbey, never been.
That being said, never got the vibe that Providence was a burger city, like a lot of cities. We get gaggers, for better and worse.
