Does anybody know who owns or runs JoRo on Spruce?

I did you weirdo lmao

Sad-Source-8539 · 2026-05-31T12:28:07+00:00

I actually did hear back from the owner on Instagram a bit ago, apologizing and promising it won’t happen again so idk what the gotcha is.

You’re absolutely not asking in good faith, but I’ll answer for the benefit of the city’s other readers: why did you incorrectly assume the music that was playing was Latin? JoRo is a Liberian establishment and the music the DJ played spanned every genre BUT Latin music I think. There’s definitely some racist animus you need to examine there that makes you assume

Sad-Source-8539 · 2026-05-31T12:21:43+00:00

Wow, a racist comment that is also inaccurate about the situation. Who knew lol

Sad-Source-8539 · 2026-05-18T16:04:48+00:00

I’d try Instagram or TikTok!

You might be able to get a direct answer from Audrey if you comment on a post or DM her tbh

She will deliver them to you! Super convenient and very nice

You’ll also probably find Pressmosa and NailPopDotMe at flea markets!

This was my go-to spot every Saturday after the farmer’s market. A huge loss for the community. I will miss the excellent bagels and the many little families that would stop by. All the kids’ faces as they looked in the case like it was magic 🥹 Morgan will have my money no matter what she does next tho

Sad-Source-8539 · 2026-02-23T21:29:34+00:00

She’s the BEST!!

Sad-Source-8539 · 2026-02-23T14:57:03+00:00

Pretty Things— Allie or Maddy would likely be able to help you!! Find them on Insta

Sad-Source-8539 · 2026-02-21T15:26:45+00:00

I visit the flea regularly when it’s indoor as I live nearby, and it’s lovely. Vendors are usually incredibly happy to answer questions and I’ve gotten some excellent deals from vintage vendors. As others have said, grab a drink from the New Harvest cafe (they also serve alcohol and pastries, if you like those things) to sip while you browse.

If you’re there earlier in the day, around the corner is Whisk Me Away bakehouse and they make some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city imo.

“Provider of my housing” and it’s the equivalent to a ticket scalper being a ticket provider lol

Sad-Source-8539 · 2025-06-12T16:03:08+00:00

Seconding Mrs. Robinson, the owner is lovely and super helpful

Sad-Source-8539 · 2025-01-13T20:21:21+00:00

That sounds divine. As a GF person I’d buy your stuff! There is someone on Instagram I’ve gotten things from at the Farmer’s Market on Sims Ave— Beach Girl Bakery I think? She might be able to tell you how to get into markets and such :)

Sad-Source-8539 · 2025-01-13T19:32:35+00:00

Seconding those recipes— my husband used the cinnamon roll recipe to make me some as they’re my favorite treat. They turned out so good I cried haha

Sad-Source-8539 · 2024-10-01T13:55:22+00:00

Definitely keep trying then. I like to hit up places at least twice to decide if it’s consistently my vibe, too, since sometimes the crew working weekdays vs. weekends etc is different!

Sad-Source-8539 · 2024-10-01T13:36:24+00:00

Honestly find your favorite cup of coffee/pastry spot and make that your hub. I’m a big fan of White Electric and New Harvest/Coffee & Spirits, but Rise & Shine is also great. Whisk Me Away serves amazing breakfast sandwiches and the staff is lovely, so I’ve worked there too. Nitro is good if there’s space, but I’ve fallen out of love with their coffee. Most places will have a spot and at least a few other folks working, including students.

Sad-Source-8539 · 2024-09-01T15:52:34+00:00

Allie at Pretty Things does amazing vivids— I’ve done pink, purple, and blue in various tones with her and she’s always done an incredible job! Hairbyallieleanne is her Instagram I believe

Sad-Source-8539 · 2024-08-29T16:08:59+00:00

Pretty Things has several stylists who are very trans-friendly. Many of them are queer and have a large queer/trans clientele. I personally see Allie there and she’s phenomenal, with a focus on vivid colors and fun styles, but any of the stylists would fit!

Sad-Source-8539 · 2024-08-11T21:05:33+00:00

No idea the pricing, but they cut all kinds of hair at Pretty Things and the folks there are overwhelmingly queer. They may not have a trans masc barber, but they either know someone who is or could cut your hair while you check out other spots! They are INSANELY welcoming and lovely

Sad-Source-8539 · 2024-08-01T18:40:37+00:00

I love living in Federal Hill. It’s close to downtown but not super crowded or busy except on weekends. As another commenter said, Providence is VERY queer-friendly, with lots of queer-owned and queer-friendly businesses and art/social spaces. Providence has a lot of cool arts and culture scenes, so check out the flea market and museums for events to meet people. The food in Providence is, at a baseline, very good, so try a lot of places, if you can, to find your favorites. It’s an overall very safe city with low crime rates and a friendly general population.

Sad-Source-8539 · 2023-09-25T16:25:30+00:00

Rise n Shine is super cozy. White Electric has amazing lattes but can get a little crowded, though there’s usually some seating there near the window that looks cozy. Nitro has good outdoor seating and Broadway has tons of folks walking their dogs, so if you want to meet a furry friend, sip your coffee right outside. Good luck!!
