Dining with the Dead is an interactive dinner at The Tavern on Main. It gives people the chance to explore the supernatural in one of the most haunted buildings in the region, with two experienced investigators, while enjoying a good meal. Thomas D’Agostino and Arlene Nicholson have been hosting the event since 2007. Before that, […]
I had the pleasure of sitting down to meet with Leandro “Kufa” Castro at El Eden restaurant on Broad Street in PVD’s West End, where the aromas of hearty Dominican dishes and the sound of Spanish being spoken created the perfect backdrop for our conversation. As someone who has made it a personal mission to […]
The RI Food Truck & Drink Awards managed to dodge the rainclouds and have a beautiful night on Sunday. Below, you’ll find all the winners: Good Vibes, the new mobile bar truck with some former Trinity vibes, received the most votes overall, neatly crossing genres. The most food truck votes went to Friskie Fries, and […]
In the parking lot of Temple of Restoration church in Pawtucket, I was amazed to experience not just a pop-up farmers market (where I was able to procure some truly beautiful-looking corn, peaches, and green bell peppers), but to be somewhere that felt like home, even though I had never been there before.

I am a foodie at heart. And, let’s not forget the stomach. Enjoying a meal with a friend or family member is one of my love languages. Food, for me, is sanity — something I need to hang onto during these wild days (we all know what I am talking about here). It’s also about […]
Tucked in the heart of Newport, a special place hides from the public, yet is visible to those curious wandering individuals.

Displaying exceptional talent on a small canvas, the Ocean State Small Works Exhibition was not just a charming summer showcase, but rather a demonstration of what the Wickford Art Association is capable of: bringing together artists of all levels through thoughtful exhibitions and simultaneously strengthening the artist community through accessibility and quality. As they host […]
As someone who looks awkward regardless of their outfit, I never followed fashion. I liked the various punk rock looks (spiky fashion punks, Fred Perry/well-dressed Oi), but I’ve pretty much been wearing a band T-shirt and khaki pants since high school. Andy Ryan (Raggedy Andy) took a different path and embraced the fashion aspects of […]
The first hole of the miniature golf course at The Dusty Planet in Olneyville is emerald, like any other putting green. The second hole is golden, like a cornfield on the farm. There’s even a thigh-high model of a barn to drive the point home. But at the third hole, a flying saucer that’s landed […]
