Okay, so this is technically in Birmingham not Coventry, but they are only about 45 minutes away and Birmingham is a much larger city. I recommend a trip in to Birmingham, even if you just eat at Dishoom because it is one of my favorites and anytime I am in London or Birmingham, I makeContinue reading “Dishoom”

My husband and I were exploring Newport in the morning and needed some breakfast. There was a different cafe I really wanted to go to, but they had a wait time of over an hour and I just wasn’t having it lol. I was hangry at this point, so we had to move fast. AContinue reading “Scratch Kitchen”

Located in the quaint neighborhood of Cranston, Rhode Island is Basta! Basta has been around since 1989, but it has changed some over the years to continue changing with the times.

They have locations across Rhode Island, with their biggest location in Warwick. Unfortunately, they did close the location I used to go to in college, but to be fair IContinue reading “Brewed Awakenings”

Okay, so I know this isn’t technically in Rhode Island, but it is close enough and you can get there from RI in like 45ish minutes from the middle of RI.

Dune Brothers knows seafood and they also are big on keeping local fish local and using only the freshest, quality ingredients. They have two shack locations and one year-long restaurant. Their Providence shack was their first location and what put them on the map, so of course that is where I had to visit! SinceContinue reading “Dune Brothers”

This little donut shop opened after I moved away from Rhode Island, of course, and it took me YEARS to be able to visit it! It also seemed that every time I came back to visit, it was closed or sold out before I could make it there. Unlike Allie’s Donuts (that are iconic btw),Continue reading “PVDonuts”
