Rhode Island | Providence Food Crawl

Matunuck Oyster Bar 🦪 Ordered TWO rounds of the oyster sampler and grilled-oyster trio—sweet, briny bliss on the half-shell. 🧡 First time trying the stuffed lobster: entire claw knuckles, scallops and shrimp baked right inside the shell—pure Ocean-State surf-and-turf. Pastiche Fine Desserts 🍰 Fruit-tart craving = satisfied. Pre-ordered the 8-inch online; berries still dewy, custard silky and never cloying, crisp pâte sucrée shatters like glass—perfection as always. Rosalina 🍝 Buttery gem-lettuce salad, slow-simmered tagliatelle al ragù, bucatini tossed with sweet shrimp in bright tomato sofrito, plus a fork-tender rosemary pork chop. Charuma Tea Bar 🍗 Fresh-from-the-fryer Taiwanese salt-and-pepper popcorn chicken & cutlet—juicy, crispy, pepper-kissed. Brown University 🍂 Crimson maples lighting up the quad; snack in hand, every snapshot looks like a postcard. Strolled to Waterplace Park at golden hour—the river turned liquid caramel while a saxophonist played. #RhodeIsland #VisitRhodeIsland #Providence
