Last week I headed to Barrington to profile the new restaurant Crepelicious. To my dismay (and a product of my clear lack of preparation), Crepelicious is nothing more than a “coming soon” sign and a partially empty building. Disappointed, I drove through the town in search of some good eats. As I passed the fairly […]
It might not quite feel like fall, but the beginning of September heralds our autumnal arrival. I love September. Whether it’s the geeky girl in me who loves those ‘back to school’ trips to Staples or the redhead who’s totally over sunburn, September has always been my favorite month. Each new page on the cook’s […]
[opened] Fox Point’s beloved pizza joint, Fellini Pizzeria, just opened a second location in Pawtuxet Village, Cranston. Those on the other side of the bay no longer need to venture to Prov for their French pancake fix — Crepelicious has arrived in Barrington serving up decedent crepe-themed desserts. A new cafe just opened on Federal […]
“This Friday my husband and the kids are out of town, so girls’ night is happening. Where can we go in Providence?” This was the call I received from my friend who rescued me when I needed to know the go-to bars in her town of Warren, and now it was time for me to […]
With Providence being named one of the top foodie cities in the country, it’s no surprise that the city also boasts a great selection of cooking classes. From corporate classes at Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table to intimate learning in someone’s home, there’s something for everyone. I recently stumbled on a series of classes […]
I had my first gelato when I was 16 years old. I was in Washington, D.C., on a Presidential Classroom experience, and the organizers set us free inside a giant mall for a few hours. In the middle of mall traffic sat a gelato cart, and a couple of the girls I was with screamed, […]
If you like iced coffee, Rhode Island Food Fights has a challenge for you. Twenty-three coffee vendors have teamed up to determine who makes the Ocean State’s best iced brew. To get in on the action, buy a passport for $15. From now until August 31, visit each of the participating vendors and show your […]
First came frozen yogurt, then cupcakes. Dessert trends seem to be unfolding faster than I can lose the weight I gained from the last one, but the latest has me thinking that the extra minutes on the elliptical are worth it. The newest addition to the trendy dessert roster is the macaron, and, as I […]
I regrettably knew nothing about Warren before I embarked on this journey. I wasn’t even sure where it was — in the middle of Rhode Island somewhere? But I’d heard it described as “an underrated beach town” with an artsy feel and waterfront restaurants, and that was a romantic enough portrait to make me plug […]
Heading out for lunch in Newport evokes all kinds of wonderful sunny images. Sun-bleached boardwalks bordered by clinking, moored yachts. The odd blinding glimmer of sun from the calm harbor waters, and a lot of people who look as if they’ve just stepped from the pages of a Tommy Hilfiger catalog. My Newport lunch date, […]
