Looking for authentic Italian flavor with a side of history? Look no further. If you're into podcasts, we recommend listening to Crime Town which details the fabric of organized crime in Providence. Federal Hill was the backdrop.

Located in the heart of Brown University, Thayer Street is always changing, always lively, always dynamic. I crave the falafel wrap at East Side Pockets. Don’t let the line out the door fool you - these folks are masters of efficiency and you will get your food in no time!
