Opened and Closed

OPENED

North: The restaurant part, not the bakery part is opening a second location in the ground floor of The Dean Hotel. With a growing reputation for upscale menus with a local mind, North should prove a nice addition to the Downcity palette. 122 Fountain St, PVD. foodbynorth.com

Troop: New restaurant and bar with a fine taste in music. Not open just yet, but stay tuned! 60 Valley St, PVD. fb.com/trooppvd

Craftland: A second location opened on the main strip in EG. As you gear up for the holiday season, make sure to put Craftland on your list for gift ideas. 264 Main St, East Greenwich.

Vatsana: A new Thai and sushi bar under the management of East Side favorite, Apsara Palace. Definitely worth checking out! 2168 Broad St, Cranston. vatsanari.com

CLOSED

Providence Hoot: This open mic, formerly at 186 Carpenter, is looking for a new home. Ideally they are looking for a space on the West Side of PVD. Hit them up with info if you have a space available! fb.com/pvdhoot
