VDay Edition: Favorite Food Spots in Providence
There wasn't a super bowl game last night, and I didn't stay up too late…
Happy Valentine's Day! I feel it's fitting to focus on food for this week's issue. So, for that topic, I'm going to focus on my favorite spots to eat in Providence, Rhode Island:
Why Providence is for foodies:
Home to Johnson and Wales University, one of the top culinary schools in the country
Close to the sea - Access to fresh aquatic life
Unique cultural influences - Portugal, Cape Verde, etc.
Favorite Restaurants
Los Andes - Peruvian/Bolivian restaurant with great food, service, and ambiance.
Al Forno - Classy Italian restaurant that claims to have invented grilled pizza
Andino's - Elegant Italian restaurant with a 50's flare
Favorite Sweets
Aleppo Sweets - Delicious Syrian bakery. Get the baklava.
Newport Creamery - Popular Rhode Island ice cream chain. Famous for the "Awful Awful" milkshake.
PVDonuts or Kneads Donuts - Popular doughnut shops. Each local has their personal favorite, so go to both and decide for yourself.
Favorite Bars
Courtland Club - Extremely low-key but my favorite bar in PVD 🙌. A unique spin on classic cocktails, skilled DJ's, and knowledgeable staff.
Ogie's Trailer Park - Retro mid-century bar. Great drink choices and affordable cocktails.
Troop - Hip-Hop bar with impromptu dance battles. You will "Get Served," so
just watch on the sidelines.
Where do you recommend eating in Providence?
Make this French Cocktail that's perfect for Valentine's Day! - Kir Royale
½ ounce Chambord or crème de cassis (french liqueur)
5 ounces chilled brut (dry) Champagne
Optional garnish: 1 fresh raspberry
Pour the Chambord into a Champagne flute. While holding the glass at a 45-degree angle (this helps preserve the bubbles), gently pour in the Champagne. Garnish with a raspberry, if you'd like. Serve immediately.
