Monday, September 19, 2011
T+L loves Nick's On Broadway
Standing on the winner's stand with culinary meccas New Orleans and San Francisco, the Creative Capital may want to change its nickname to the Culinary Capital, taking a phenomenal #3 spot in the country as one of the Best Cities for Foodies.
Travel + Leisure's latest ranking of America's Best Cities based on reader polls, gives Providence props on numerous, tasty fronts. "For Rhode Island foodies, farm-to-table is just the beginning," says T+L's Katrina Brown Hunt.
Local restaurants in the limelight
National shout-out to Chez Pascal
T+L gives love to Chez Pascal on Hope Street and Nick's on Broadway on the West Side for "boat-to-table seafood that comes direct from local fisherman." Hunt writes that voters also love "the homey vibe" of our city, and reminds that Providence has already snapped up honors for hole-in-the-wall cafes, burgers, and pizza.
Providence beat out #4 New York City and #5 Chicago for the top echelon. Self-proclaimed foodie capital Portland, OR, came in at #6, followed in order by Seattle, WA, Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC, and San Antonio, TX.
Boston? Just the check, please. A paltry #23.
