We have family living in Providence and we will be traveling from Seattle for Christmas holidays. We are active 60 year olds and the others are late 20s early 30s. We like food, wine, beer, coffee, art, theatre, jazz, dogs, sports, hiking, fishing, and Christmas stuff. Any activities you would suggest?

I texted my landlord asking if there was a certification for the property and she answers with this. That’s not really an answer to my question and I have no idea what that means. Isn’t it required by law to have a lead certification? Sorry if I’m wrong. I just moved into this place and I’m not from here.

Al-Shami vs Mike's Calzones vs East Side Pockets; which has the best chicken Shawerma wrap in your opinion?

I prefer one with garlic sauce if you know which of those places do that

Anyone know a good bar where people are generally open to meeting new people? Thanks

I live in an old apartment building. When the heat is turned on (steam heat), it wakes me up every night, multiple times a night. I've tried everything- earplugs, exercising hard to be super tired, white noise. It's LOUD. I've complained, and the building claims they're "working on it", but I've also heard from staff that this problem has been happening for years and that there's no way to truly address it without replacing all the pipes. The adjacent units are constantly being rented and left because of these loud sounds, and we all feel deceived. Is there any way to get some real help? Otherwise I'll have to leave when the lease is up because I cannot sleep through miniature explosions in the wall every few hours each night. I'm skeptical of taking legal action because the building is owned by a huge corporation.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your advice so far! I should've noted that, afaik, it's not my unit's radiator that's causing the noise- it's the pipes within the walls that transport heat throughout the building.

I found a little grey kitten in federal hill today! If they’re yours please reach out!

Just wondering what everyone’s recommendations are for the best bars that have multiple TVs with multiple games going are? Thank you!!!

I have a few books I want to donate and don’t want to bring them to a savers. Does the library take them? Are there any organizations? Or any of those little library’s around?

Recently went to blu violets r&b brunch on Sunday and let me tell you it was a vibe!!! They have a vegan and regular brunch menu and everything was delicious and the dj was playing some of my favorite songs. It’s definitely a great way to end your week or start it.

Come tap your toes to the bluegrass music of the Ocean State Ramblers @ William Hall Library at 1825 Broad St on Saturday, Nov 16 from 2:30-3:30 PM.

This is going back a decade or two, but I remember the ribs at Leos on Chestnut Street being the absolute best. Anyone know what was in them?

I’m carless, so my options are limited to the city.

Hi, I’m looking for a company that can help me install a barn door and maybe even supply the door. Please leave recommendations!

Holly! I found your wallet right outside of my apartment building next to urban greens. Please reach out if you see this :)

Real estate not included

This is from right over the pawtucket/providence line, but I just left an apartment viewing, and the guy showing ended up telling me he withheld the previous tenants deposit to paint over a few small holes from the previous tenants hanging stuff on the walls, he even said the previous tenants spackled before they left. I ended up telling him he’s not entitled to withhold a deposit for painting, and the wear was so so minimal, that’s the cost of ownership. I told him I’m not interested in renting from a landlord who would do this, and I left. So if this is happening to you, just know that in the tenants bill of rights, the landlord CANNOT withhold a security deposit for painting. And if you think this is your landlord, I will vouch for you if you want to pursue legal action (confirm by messaging me the name of the street, or identifying a nearby landmark)- the landlord could be required to return double the deposit if found to be in violation.

So sick and tired of these entitled jerks

EDIT: I am not an attorney, just a long time renter who has done battle with many crooked entitled landlords

My 20yo son is moving to Providence. He’s autistic, high-functioning, enjoys live music and is always up for different events. He was dying on the vine living in the MA burbs with no real activities to join (since many similar-aged ppl were off in college) He has friends online, but admits that he’s feeling disconnected and at a loss for how to make friends irl

He’s been to a few Scurvy Dog parking lot shows & had a blast. Any suggestions/leads on places or groups that have opportunities for young adults to gather and make connections with no judgement toward neurodivergent populations?

Just when I thought I couldn't loathe RIE more, I filled out the stupid survey they sent me, and when I got to the end, it said, "Unfortunately, you do not qualify for this survey." Then WHY have me fill it out?! I honestly feel like this company spends all of its time figuring out how to make its communications and billing systems even worse than they already are. I truly don't understand how it can be SO bad.
