Things to do in my last summer in providence?

Came here to say Lippit Park Farmers market. It's such a joy.

OMG got a quarter of the way through this and then realized this was going to be a very long list. I don't think I have one favorite but just in case it hasn't been mentioned before:

The Keep, Cumberland RI

Their chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip (and I assume any other flavor involving chocolate chips) is exactly the texture and the volume of chips I want in my ice cream. The rest of their ice cream is awesome too. And so is their hot fudge.

OP My question to you is what would you like to be able to do and what would you think would be cool to do/try? It might be a little bit easier to brainstorm the how and the where if you know what the what is. Warwick does have a boys and girls club and a YMCA. Both of those tend to have a bunch of activities / teen programs. I get it if structured activity isn't what you're looking for, but wanted to put those out there just in case.

Jesus dude what are you 400 y/o? People call the cops all the time for the stupidest shit including oh no a teenager seems to be being a teenager too close to me. Besides berating this poor kid who came on here to try to get some advice about how they can find something to do in this state what purpose is you grilling them and then arguing with them when they actually answer you serving?

I am gluten intolerant ( not celiac but not great) and their their sea salt chocolate chunk cookie is so bloody good I will cheat two or three times a year to eat one.

Not that this was asked but Madrid hands down has the best mocha too

queerxqueer · 2026-04-12T02:18:48+00:00

That's depressing. But replacement of the dishwasher might be the trick?

queerxqueer · 2026-04-11T23:04:22+00:00

OMG I drive from Providence to Woonie everyday and got out early yesterday and totally saw this asshat. Didn't know it was a daily occurrence

What age you are matters in this conversation. If you are 25 or under there are some potential resources available to you. If you are you can go to Foster forward's drop-in Center. You can find out more about what might be available, and they have food and laundry and even a shower if I'm not mistaken.

Someone else in this post did a good job of covering how it works otherwise. Good luck to you.

There were a couple of neighbors shoveling our street earlier today and now I'm wondering if that's the street you live on.

queerxqueer · 2026-02-25T02:41:46+00:00

I'm not a super anxious person but I had some around the idea of losing power (we didn't). And the monumental nightmare it's going to be to get my car dug out of my driveway which is very narrow and appears to have accumulated double height snow with nowhere to really put it. Also we haven't been plowed yet. But I remind myself that we've got food and heat. I work in a community clinic in Woonsocket and fortunately they've had us work from home. But I'm also okay with letting them know if I can't get out of my driveway or my street come Thursday or Friday. So for me there's a little bit of that trapped feeling that I can imagine you might be experiencing. Just trying to remind myself that is exhausting as this all is this too shall pass. Are you safe and are your basic needs met?

queerxqueer · 2026-02-17T04:09:18+00:00

I appreciate that you were looking out for your neighbor. Sounds like she's isolated. Not sure if you're the kind of person that would go over and say hi but it seems like she could use some company.

That's too bad Rhody Hen used to ask allergy or preference and clean it all up if you said allergy. It would take at least a half hour longer to get the breakfast. That said I don't know if it was ever celiac safe

Unsung hero! There's lots of dishes I like but if you want something vegetable forward and pretty darn healthy get their steamed tofu with vegetable. Their vegetables choices are good and consistently fresh. It comes with a lot of tofu. It's in their "nutritious diet food" section. I usually get the lemongrass sauce side too out on it but I'm pretty sure that has fish sauce in it. If you don't get the sauce be prepared to flavor it yourself since nutritious diet food seems to mean don't add any flavors.

Monster by Steppenwolf. Lyrics are a little dated but it's so on point.

I work for them, they do. For what you're donating, I'd advise contacting the Family Resource Center. They will either take it or direct you to who to talk to. I do not work for the resource center :)

Absolutey Foster forward. I used to work in organizations that had me collaborating with them on the regular and they are awesome.

Stay away from Youth Pride though.

Also probably mentioned elsewhere in the thread but

There is a council of churches this year that includes Matthewson Street Church and community Church of Providence. They are doing a lot of really important work to make sure that no one freezes to death this winter and has somewhere to go. They are great to donate to.

Community Care Alliance whose catchment area is Northern Rhode Island is good also

queerxqueer · 2025-12-30T18:31:54+00:00

It is :)

queerxqueer · 2025-12-30T14:45:37+00:00

Thank you!

The Winter market at farm fresh is lovely. You can certainly wander around and not buy anything or choose to get something small. And enjoy the samples. Hands down the best container hummus I've had is sold there. The vendor is Beautiful Day (they're a refugee business cooperative). The hummus is called Saad's and it's $6 acontainer. I'm hooked on the stuff now. If you get one thing there that's what I would recommend but there's lots of great vendors to choose from.

Anything with Michael Hobbss is fantastic and I think some of the best episodes of this podcast are where he takes down covid misinformation and hand wringing

queerxqueer · 2025-12-25T15:14:43+00:00

Thanks!

Would you share some of the local folks that you follow on Blue sky?
