Brown Bee has officially taken the spot for the most expensive latte I’ve ever bought in Prov.

161 Upvotes

Paid $11 and some change for a small latte with skim milk. The cherry on top is they charged me a dollar for the skim milk. I’ve never paid extra for skim, anywhere. I haven’t even paid that much for a Nitro Bar drink, and they’re arguably a more popular spot. Still good croissant tho.

Also, unrelated, but a spot around there: 2 tacos for $13 is bonkers. Where are we heading with these prices?

FixMyPvd.org : A mobile friendly app that submits 311 reports

Post image
22 Upvotes

My fellow redditors please take heed:

I have made an app https://fixmypvd.org for submitting reports to the cities 311 system. The main advantage over the official app is that it's easier to use on your phone.

Basically it works like a middleman between you and the official app. It sends your reports to the city app, then it sends the cities (admittedly infrequent) updates back to you.

I was motivated to make this by seeing posts on this subreddit complaining about the city app and a desire to possibly appear on the local news.

WARNING This is not an official city project I am just a guy

WARNING I did my best but this is kind of a hard thing to test without being a jerk and spamming the city with false reports. If it bugs out I'll submit the reports by hand and shut it down.

Remember while it's important this app becomes popular so that I can appear on the local news the most important thing is that we help the city become aware of issues so please don't file fake reports or anything like that. Instead why not try texting 5-10 of your friends that there is an emergency and when they call to check on you telling them about this app.

Thank you for the updoots in advance.

Event skip the small talk at long live beerworks

13 Upvotes

Get cozy this fall with Skip the Small Talk - it’s a chill, sincere event focused on connection! We will be at Long Live Beerworks!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional. 

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Here’s the link if you’re curious:

Going to Al Forno without a reservation?

• Upvotes

My mom is coming to visit in early November and has wanted to go to Al Forno for awhile. I know some folks feel like it’s overrated but she wants to go so…

I just went to make a reservation for a Tuesday evening but the only slots are 9:00pm! Had no idea it would fill up that quickly.

If we went at like 5:30 on a Tuesday would we get seated?

Dogs & public settings

86 Upvotes

Stop taking your flipping pets out to public places like breweries if you know your pet isn’t friendly in public to people or other animals.

As an owner you know within the first year of ownership if your pet meets this criteria or not. If you’re too dense to figure it out ask a friend, a family member. If you’re still not able to figure it out, you shouldn’t own an animal.

As a dog owner, i am always very conscious of the setting, where I sit, what is around, and if it doesn’t work — we don’t stay. If another dog wants to come by, i ask if they’re friendly (and expect a honest answer back).

If the Women who went to longlive on the evening of October 14th reads this. Your dog shouldn’t be in public settings. I asked if it’s friendly, your response was yes. Yet lunged/bit at my dog and another dog on two different occasions. Wake the flip up you irresponsible human.

Honestly, now I understand why so many people can be rude. It’s easier to be rude when you deal with blistering idiots who dont comprehend common sense.

Hello everyone, M 29 (tomorrow) looking to meet new friends and or that someone. Any recommendations on where to go? I don’t really like bars and don’t drink much honestly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Into more outdoors things like fishing, hiking, exploring, going to the range and open minded for new interests and hobbies. Vibe is more chill and laid back. Music taste is all over the place and not just one genre.

Just having this suspension job coming up with my 1st gen. Got neither time nor budget for set of new tools so just wishing to get it done at a local shop. Relatively simple Bilstein upgrades both front and back, assembled coils. I have parts in hand already, therefore looking for a shop that takes customers part and is willing to work on it( usually they don’t due to some warranty issue)

Any recs? Thought about some maker spaces but time is just against me before winter hits…

Housing Apartment recommendations

• Upvotes

Hey all,

My girlfriend and I are looking to move to Providence early next year and starting our apartment search. We’d love recommendations from people who’ve actually lived there.

What we’re looking for:

  • 2 bedroom
  • Near the water or with a great view (skyline, river, etc.)
  • Safe, walkable neighborhood. This is our #1 priority.
  • EV charging in the garage would be a big plus

What would help most:

  • Buildings or areas you’d recommend or avoid, and why
  • How management and maintenance actually are
  • Any amenities worth noting?
  • Neighborhoods we might be overlooking

Thanks in advance!

Post-primary rent control debate bringing out the worst in us

45 Upvotes

This is not to open up a conversation about the effectiveness of rent stabilization. Just reacting to the conversations I’ve seen popping up online. The comments I’ve seen from people reacting to the impending rent stabilization ordinance have been chilling and illuminating. Folks are just saying the quiet part out loud… just scrolled past a comment about rent increases in anticipation of the 4% rent cap that said “outside is free”. These are the usually the same people that demonize the homeless and complain about KP and having to see homeless people. I really wish we could have more compassion toward one another when we are discussing housing, something no one can go without, as if it is just an investment and not the key to our community’s safety and people’s survival….

Providence's Ten Prime Seafood to become steakhouse | Exclusive

28 Upvotes

Providence's Ten Prime Seafood will close on Oct. 25, less than a year after it opened across from Trinity Repertory Company.

But owner John Elkhay has a new concept ready to open there as early as Nov. 1. It's a familiar one for the Providence restaurateur who also owns Ten Prime Steak & Sushi and two Harry's Burger Bars. It is one built around beef. Specifically, he's opening "an affordable steakhouse" to be called CUT123.
