Welcome to the Newto News for September of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Broadway Bistro
205 Broadway, Providence, RI 02903
Cozy and dimly lit, Broadway Bistro feels like the perfect neighborhood spot — but with food that’s worth traveling for. Now in its fifteenth year, it’s the kind of place you can rely on for a laid-back yet special-feeling date night. While much of the menu changes often, some staples, including the must-try app ribs and grits with orange soy marinade, are always available. Rotating entree options range from crispy lamb belly with sweet corn risotto to swordfish with summer succotash and roasted duck leg with braised kale and creamy polenta.

Troop
60 Valley St, Providence, RI 02909
If you could turn a block party into a restaurant, you’d end up with Troop. Inspired by hip-hop culture, skateboarding, and street food from around the world, this colorful, graffitied restaurant is run by a group of partners, including chef Jason Timothy and Revival Brewing owner Sean Larkin (whose beers are on tap). On the ever-changing food menu you’ll typically find several vegan options, such as spicy-sweet wok-charred cauliflower and a fried tofu banh mi. For carnivores, there’s an oversized cheeseburger and fall-off-the-bone jerk chicken. Drinks include the tequila-based BLM Cocktail, with $4 from each sale benefiting a local nonprofit dedicated to diversity and inclusion.
