Christiaan Salon on Benefit. Carla is a master colorist; Katie specializes in and Sydney is training in curly cuts. Great group of stylists there.

Jewelery District/Fox Point would be my suggestion as well. A good friend lives in the Jewelery District (near where you indicate your job will be) and she loves the neighborhood. And she doesn't drive. That area in general is walkable and has a lot of bus lines for when you want to go farther afield.

Welcome, I hope you love it here!!

Anchor Toffee (at the Farm Fresh RI building on Simms Ave). While there you can also get some baked goods from Wright's farm at their Ice Cream shop.

If you're flying out of TF Green you can buy Autocrat Syrup and Narragansett beer after security.

Reply to How do folks get to PVD? by Icy-Egg-7755

When I do go in the office in Boston I drive to the station and park there but it could get pricy (I go once every two months or so). Bus is pretty reliable (took it for a year when I worked in downtown PVD).

Reply to Will be in the city for a day, what are some quick things to do or see while in town? never been to RI by DrProfBlaze

Weekday or weekend day?

RISD museum comes to mind. If you're a beer drinker you've got the Narragansett Brewery on Tockwotton St; Providence Brewing Company, Revival, and ISCO on Simms Ave; and Moniker and Beer on Earth on West Fountain St. (Simms Ave and West Fountain also have good food options).

And here are the laws surrounding drone use:

Reply to Best sushi? by rhodyjourno

Jacky's North Providence (imo) is better than Jacky's Waterfront.

I find a lot of places have very bland rice, which makes for mediocre sushi. Somo in the Jewelery District is excellent.

I need to check some of the recommendations out here in NP!!

Reply to First time MBTA to BOS rider by PrincessFig

One KEY item - make sure when you leave Boston you get on a train going to/through Providence. The line splits at Canton Junction, some trains go to Stoughton, others to Providence or Wickford Junction. You want a Providence or Wickford train. It is very clear on the schedule. And absolutely use the app for tickets and schedules. Have fun!!

Reply to TIL that the dogs in competitive agility don’t rehearse the course ahead of time. The courses are randomized at each competition, and the trainers (without their dogs) only see the layout beforehand on the same day. When the dog runs the course they are literally seeing it for the first time. by Pyraunus

I love the agility championships! Dogs being dogs, not being models. Some are downright amazing, others downright hilarious. But so much fun to watch!!!
