One Wednesday after a house-gathering with friends, several guys said they were going to The Grange for live music and drinks. “Wait,” I said. “The Grange?

With the nights drawing in and the first snow having fallen (albeit a very light dusting!) Winter is well and truly on its way. That doesn’t mean that seasonal treats are lacking, though; now is the time for hearty winter squashes, robust leafed greens, warm spices and sweet roasted nuts and dried berries. Roasting is […]
Located in the Jewelry District on Richmond Street, The Village is the newest incarnation for the building that has most recently been home to the Southern-style brunch spot, Succotash. Heading out on a bright and beautiful autumnal day to catch breakfast at this new haunt, I was keen to see if The Village’s menu would […]
“Meet Your Maker!” is what Hope and Main is advertising as it opens its doors to the public for a Holiday Market this Sunday, Nov 23, in Warren.

Fall is certainly in the offing, with chilly nights and crisp days fast becoming a meteorological norm. October heralds the full force of the apple and pear season plus the readiness of beautiful shelling beans such as borlotti (also known as cranberry) and butter (also known as lima). Beautiful roots such as the sweet, aromatic […]
We’re kicking this month’s openings off with yet another spot on 800 Allens Ave. Formerly Cactus Grille, The Barstow, and Cafe Ole within an 8-month span, the spot now welcomes Brass Monkey, an American-fare, bar-centric, more casual eatery than its predecessors. Fourth time’s a charm. In other much anticipated PVD food news, Pizza J, Julians […]
