A massive festival, Misquamicut style, with amusement park rides, rock climbing, food, drink, live music and warming beaches that MIGHT prove swimmable. This draws many thousands of folks each year, with about 70 vendors bringing food, crafts and more, steel drums, karate demos, a classic car show, fire jugglers (not too near the cars) and […]
Dear C: I have been dating a woman many years my senior for about 18 months. We have had a great relationship that has never been boring or status quo. We are both very independent, live in different cities, and travel for our work. When we first got together she admitted that she was somewhat […]
“Win a Free Trip Around the World!” the subject line said. Because I suffer from wanderlust, I apply to every travel giveaway that comes across my inbox, and, when I saw this message, I thought it would be the same: enter my e-mail address and cross my fingers. But I was wrong. This was an […]
RI doesn’t really have much in the way of significant 420 events (hint-hint, pre-legalization party planners…) Here’s some stuff we know about (or that sound promising). 420 Party with Horizon Wireless & Rezin Headz: Presented by 13 Folds Magazine.

Live-streaming has become one such major platform. I recently attended an event by B08 studios […]
Dear Nick, Spring is taking its grand ol’ time in arriving fashionably late to Lil Rhody. It’s more like “Winter 2: Electric Boogaloo” than any kind of fairer, milder, out-like-a-lamb type weather. While I am stuck indoors, it gives me time to think, which isn’t necessarily a good thing, and is sometimes more difficult than […]
“It’s 2:18 in the afternoon and you’re drinking whiskey without even making a face.” Jacqueline Connetti of Edrington Americas, the Innovation and Area Manager for Rhode Island, pours a sample of whiskey from a 10-inch bottle shaped like a mad scientist’s lab beaker. A black label wraps around the bottle, designed like a chalkboard and covered […]
If you live in Rhode Island, chances are a winery is not too far away. In fact, it will take a couple of days to be able to visit the Ocean State’s nine wineries. For both location and style, spend one day along the eastern part of the state, following the Coastal Trail route. Then […]
