Road Trip up East Coast
the city of Portland has some awesome places,Fore st.,Duckfat,Hugos,etc.,Great local beer,its our "foodie"getaway from rhode island.
Blount's Clam Shack Providence
Frank,they have a pretty good thing going,its a new location,they need to work out the wrinkles...give them another shot...
Oysters in bulk in Providence, RI?
Andrades shellfish in Bristol,Nicks fish in bristol also.
Clamshack between Boston and Newport, preferably in RI
Quitos in bristol is better and they are open,dont tell anyone!!
Portuguese in Providence
a couple months back,my wife found the holy ghost club,in the basement of the holy ghost church in east providence.its a restaurant-bar, club type thing,open to the public,great food,cheap etc...the night we went,they had live entertainment,a guy on the keyboards,fun times..only problem was the lighting,way to bright,but if thats the worst thing......
Trader Joe's - like supermarkets in providence, Ri
maybe Venda in Federal hill,or Trader Joes in west warwick.....
Best value for sea food in Newport , RI
Scales is great,the lobster fra diablo is amazing there,the sicilian littlenecks too.across the street is Zeldas and thier famous "butter poached"lobster thats incredible,plus a fun bar scene....
Tucker's Bistro closed?
unfortuneatly Tuckers is done,he had a great run,and broadway is gonna miss him.we actually talked to the guy that bought the place,liquor licence really,and hes going in more of a bar type direction,just what newport needs.....he seems like a nice guy,but im sure gonna miss that homemade baileys.....
Newport, RI Restaurant Itinerary Recommendations
tuckers is gonna be a bar,with bar food.another place bought by an irish guy,pretty soon theres gonna be more irish-owned then american-owned places in newport.....
New Bedford?
Antonios is my personal favs for portuguese food,they do have a bar side that im sure well have the game on.its right off 195.In the downtown area theres a Rose alley,its more sports pub,but they do have some portuguese items on the menu too,good beer list and great wings too.
Does Anyone Know the Name of This Newport Pub? (And Is It Still Open?)
Adains is now the Fastnet pub,on broadway next to washington park.theres also Buskers just down the street on thames.
Sally's Apizza is obviously better than Pepe's and Modern
ive had great pies at all three,even on a bad day they are alot better then just about anywhere.true they dont travel well,and simpilier is better too.we seem to have better luck at modern,getting a table,nicer servers,etc.,but all three do make a great pizza...
Trafford in Warren RI
its a great addition to the east-bay,weve gone 3 times and its been reliably good.the space is pretty awesome too,inside and out,great views all-around.great seafood all three times...anybody been to the recently opened"square -peg"down the street?it looks pretty casual,in a great kinda -way...
spicy asian in provi quick,wifes birthday tommorow
i know its short order,looking for suggestions,we just got back from vacation and my beautiful bride has the worst head cold ever.shes totally open to anything, thai,korean,cambodian,etc.,it just needs to be hot,hot,hot..thanks!!
Jamaican or Caribbean in Western Mass
west hartford has a bunch of places...we only had a few hours,but a great few hours,good jerk,patties,etc.,and stocked up on sundries too!!!
Any opinions on Dewolf Tavern in Bristol, RI ??
i too have only sat at the bar and had appes,and those mussles are really good.although they do have a nice patio,i wouldnt consider it a summer place,the dining room is cozy..the owner came from Tabla in nyc,the food has an indian influence in a great way,not overpowering or over the top at all.Persimmon is right around the courner,and really great too,you just missed newport restaurant week,with a 3 course dinner for 30$,which is a deal.
late lunch on Saturday
i literally watched money get sucked out of my wallet,it aint cheap,but awesome beer list,they dont give it away,its still a great memory though...next time im up that way were stopping,grandma might not like it....
SF Hound coming to Providence for one day
newport on saturday night is another option,theres lots on here for suggestions..
Oysterfest?
sounds like we have a "cape cod",chowhounds, love connection,i guess all those oysters worked....
Oysterfest?
we got there sat. afternoon,insane traffic.had some raw oysters,amazing,a couple of baked oysters,and a few beers,it was packed but fun.we stayed up in trouro,so we headed north,showered and went to p-town.beautiful weather made walking around great.we had a drink or two then ended up at the squeling pig for a late dinner,good pub food with a great beer list,we'll be back....slept in on sunday,went back to p-town for breakfast,we went to the portuguese bakery for egg sandwiches that were gross,good coffee at wired puppy saved it for us.another beautiful day so we walked around for a few hours,then headed back down to the fest again.had more raw oysters,oyster stew from macs,and a fried lobster tail that awesome,sounded gross ,but was great.watched the shucking contest for a bit,people watched too..headed out by 3 or so,trying to beat the traffic,no luck there....all in all,another great oysterfest,great weather,great times,see you there next year!!!
St. John's Kitchen in Fall River-Any Info?
im sure the st johns club well continue,i hope the food stays great...oh the soup!!!
Oysterfest?
we went last year,and were going back this year,its a 2-3 hr drive for us, so were getting a room and staying overnite.although its primarily an oyster fest,there was other things to eat,theres music,kids stuff i think,theres open restaurants,it was fun...and if your an oyster lover its heaven!!!!!ill be the guy with a plate of raw oysters in one hand,a beer in the other and a big smile on my face....
