When the rest of the world goes for hot chocolate, New England’s thoughts turn to ice cream. Granted, for some people (ahem), ice cream is a year-round staple, like iced coffee, but for most of New England, a cone in the cold is just the thing to remind us that we’re alive! For this round-up, […]
21-11-03 – Mooby’s P Starting this Thursday, Mooby’s, the fictional restaurant set in Kevin Smith’s View Askew-niverse, will be in Providence for RI Comic Con! The iconic pop-up will set up shop in Trinity Beer Garden right by Kennedy Plaza, just around the corner from RI Comic Con. Mooby’s was originally featured in Smith’s Dogma […]
There’s a joke that Aguardente—which translates to “fire water” in Portuguese—is so strong it will blind you. This is the kind of myth that Victor Pereira, the visionary and owner of the newly opened Aguardente on the East Side of Providence, likes to dispel. “If someone says that, I’ll bring over a shot for them […]
It’s my favorite time of year! I love the cooler weather, the flannel, the beanies, the way that strong and stirred drinks overtake bar menus… I also love hot drinks, and I feel like the genre deserves a little more attention than it generally gets. So I set out to make a hot matcha drink […]
While working on the November issue of Motif, we kept hearing about an indigenous restaurant called the Sly Fox Den Too. It’s a wonderful and quintessentially Rhode Island kind of diner: only open for breakfast and lunch, and packed full of locals. The food, however, ups the game, with an emphasis on fresh indigenous cuisine. […]

Restaurants, vegan and nonvegan alike, create specials and demonstrate their ability to make delicious vegan meals. […]
Oktoberfest is a time for celebration of all things beer, and that includes beer cocktails. I was charged with the task of making an Oktoberfest beer cocktail for this issue, and I was very excited to receive this challenge because I love a beer cocktail. The term ‘Shandy’ is a British term for a lager […]
When our server, Tyce, dropped off “Black Girl Magic”—a cocktail described simply as peach vodka with lemonade—she suggested we “give it a stir” before drinking. Confused, we followed her instructions, and then we saw it: swirls of glitter sparkling through a deep purple liquid, like stars in an evening sky. “Is that glitter?” we exclaimed, […]
The smallest town in the smallest state, Warren, RI, which was once known by most as a blink on the way to Newport, has experienced a renaissance in recent years. With a plethora of quality restaurants, Warren has slowly become a dining destination for New Englanders. Adjacent to the town’s Main Street is Water Street, […]
Where do the best thoughts come from? A boardroom? The shower? For Randy D’Antuono, the best ideas came in the wee morning hours sitting on a street curb in Amsterdam, from some scribbled notes on a bar napkin. That’s where we can trace the origins of his greatest salty, starchy gift to Rhode Island: Friskie […]
