Bigger companies are expanding and hiring like crazy. I work for a French-owned company with 80,000+ employees and our office in Quonset has had at least 20 people relocate here with their families the last few years. Not just from other states, but countries like Brazil and Mexico as well.

Reply to Best bar to watch Super Bowl in RI? by cartagena_11
If you want a lower key Super Bowl experience I'd say Lucky Enough. if you want to be in a crazy crowd probably Snookers, Moonshine Alley or Sports and Leisure

Chalk me up as another Tasca hater. Hell, I live 5 minutes from Tasca Mazda and I still bought my last two cars from Flood. I was doing maintenance there in Wakefield for awhile too but post-covid I just go to a local shop now.

Great bar, and they do a good job with big matches like the World Cup and Patriots games but not quite a sports bar that you can watch 4-5 games at once.

We use Glow Oil. They're the friendliest oil company I've dealt with and you can even order online. They seem to only deliver on Thursdays though so you need to plan ahead.

I just paid $525 for 100 gallons. If they're filling their tank, that's spot on

I feel the same way - I went to an Atlanta FC game earlier this year and if they can recreate even half of that experience it will be worth it. It was a blast.

Reply to Chicken Parmesan by FriarCeltEDubs
I know we're in the PVD subreddit but my favorite non-homemade chicken parm is at Revival on main street in EG. Their Bolognese is also the best we've had anywhere. Not to mention it's cheaper than most places and I swear it can serve 4 people.

Twin Oaks no longer makes it from scratch. It's a frozen patty now.

We used to go 8 or 9 times a year and it was always fun bringing out of towners there, since it's such an old school place (and the food was always great). I would say since the pandemic the food has taken a drastic turn for the worst. Like mentioned below, their chicken parm is made with a battered frozen patty now. Their veal is fake unless you specifically ask for 'real veal'. We had a first timer order chicken marsala last month and it was downright gross (I've had this in the past there and it was decent). The service is always great but with all this Fung/Trump stuff and the quality of food we ain't going back any time soon.
Cassarino's has been our go-to since we've been soured on Twin Oaks the last few times.

Funny, I thought it sucked on Thayer and actually like it now. I blame the magic spirits of the Satin Doll.

Unless they've changed in the last 30 days or so, they don't let you bring a container anymore
