My first time visiting Rhode Island! We made a day-trip to Providence to try all the things.
First on the list: Nick's on Broadway.
Nicks on Broadway is a contemporary American restaurant located in the West End of Providence. Nicks specializes in seasonally inspired, locally focused food, put forth humbly with thoughtfulness, passion and honesty.Kaitlynn ordered some pork belly.
I ordered a cauliflower soup that came with creme fraiche and chargrilled pesto bread.
And, a parfait of house-baked granola, fresh fruit, Narrangansett Creamery yogurt and Aquidneck honey. What's your favorite dish here?
My bestie, Kaitlynn, knows me well. When I came to visit recently, the first place she took me was to an ice cream shop: The Scoop N Scootery. They deliver, but on this day, we went in to check it out.
I went for the "Caramel Cone Crunch," which had totally turle ice cream, waffle cone, caramel sauce and whipped cream. What's your favorite?
After eating at Mezzogiorno, literally right across the aisle, I went to Baba Bar to kill some more time.
A Mediterranean eatery with a menu crafted by Nicholas Elmi. Baba Bar features flavor and spices reminiscent of the coast, offering small plates, spreads and wraps; a perfect light meal before a flight. The mezze (small plates) include a traditional selection of hummus, babaganoush, stuffed grape leaves, Greek salads, roasted vegetables, tabbouleh and much more. Entrees include skewers and kebabs.Simply find an open seat, sit down, order from the touch-screen menu, swipe your card, and food will be delivered.
I went with a chocolate milk (why does flying always make me order the most random drinks?) and whipped feta and olive dip.
Truth be told, I could live on snack items like this. Have you ever been?
I don't know what everyone else does during a long layover but I can tell you that I seek out the best food.
Philadelphia's airport has some great food, including Mezzogiorno.
Chef Stalin Bedon brings a menu featuring thin-crust, Neapolitan-style pizzas with artisanal toppings to the terminal with Mezzogiorno. The individually-sized pies are baked at nearly 700 degrees for the perfect crunch. Diners may choose from a list of composed pies or build their own. The pizza menu is complemented by a selection of housemade meatballs, antipasti, light entrees, and snacks. The wine list pulls heavily from Southern Italy and the beer selection focuses on regional ales and lagers, including Tröegs HopBack Amber from Hershey, PA and Yuengling Traditional Lager from Pottstown. This sleek modern Italian eatery has the feel of riding through Milan on a yellow and chrome Vespa. The main palette elements include sunshine-yellow backpainted glass, a sleek black bar top, zebrano wood walls, and polished stainless steel accents.
It was a cool concept - you look for an open seat, place your order on the screen, even run your own credit card and then food magically is delivered to you.
I ordered this meatball sub that was plated all fancy, as well as a side of truffle fries. Have you been here?
