Calling my coffee, tea and CBD lovers out there, there’s a coffee shop you have to check out: Blackstone Herbs and Coffee Bar in Cumberland. This new shop is located on Broad Street and focuses on locally sourced vegan eats, coffee, and small-batch CBD that can be put into their variety of drinks, as well […]
If you’ve been tooling around Rhode Island foodstagrams in the past few months, there’s no way you haven’t come across A Guy and His Pie and their amazingly mouthwatering pizza photography! What began as a therapeutic way to beat quarantine boredom (and pivot from decidedly #basic sourdough bread making) turned into a fantastic business, bringing […]
Hidden behind a little red door in Pawtucket, Craft Burgers and Beer (342 East Ave) is a gem for gluten-free eaters. This South of the Border burger decorated with fresh jalapeños, guacamole and jack cheese is covered in an avocado crème fraîche that makes this a decadent entree with just the right amount of kick.

This is the gluten-free “Four Cheesy” pasta at Bettola, located in Cranston’s Rolfe Square. The smoked gouda, mozzarella, pecorino and fior de latte blend perfectly to create a unique and creamy flavor that does not overpower the penne. The grilled chicken was the perfect complement to this hearty dish. Their entire menu of pizzas, pastas […]

I’m getting sick of reaching for my metallic pink puffy coat and trudging outside in the freezing, blustery breezes to return overdue library books and pick up groceries (my current discovery, shiritaki noodles!). I’m dying for warmer days where I can sit in Queen Anne Square, people watch and read Shakespeare’s As You Like It […]
If spring has you dreaming of farmers markets, consider becoming a member of a local farm’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) this year. By joining a CSA, you support local farmers in their growing season by prepaying for your fruits and veggies; some farms offer meats and cheeses as well. Farms might provide you with a […]
PVD Cares Outside is the new public program from The Steel Yard and City of Providence Arts, Culture, and Tourism. At a meeting last year, Tim Ferland, director of public projects for The Steel Yard, said, “Maybe we should put together some kits to help restaurants and retail stores move their operations outside.” To date, […]
We’ve been following the Burgundian since they first appeared in Rhode Island and Massachusetts’ breweries and beer halls with their life-changing liege waffles — I even went so far as to offer my hand in marriage to anyone who donated enough money to their GoFundMe campaign to name a waffle after me — and now […]
Plant City, the popular 100% plant-based food hall and marketplace on South Water Street that opened in 2019, now has a sister “fast food” franchise churning out quick and healthy eats in the corporate-dominated gauntlet of West Main Road in Middletown. And according to patrons, many of whom waited months in enthusiastic anticipation of its […]
