A new entry in the RI Blogosphere. Friend or foe?
The city of Cranston’s web site slogan is “Cranston – We’re on the Move!” Given the reputation of the city, an outsider might read this literally – as if all 79,269 of the city’s residents have packed up their things and decided to seek greener pastures over the border in Providence.
I’m on a mission to change that. I want to capture the sights, the sounds, the smells of the true Cranston. I want to document just how big Cranston hair actually is. I want familiarize myself, and the reader, with the exquisite music of the Cranston accent. I want to discover the superb hidden restaurants, tucked away in the vast, treeless shopping plazas that stretch as far as the eye can see. I want to know if cement lions really are the official city animal. I’m out to discover if there is a Cranston Style.

If you are looking for real great food you will find it in Cranston - Cafe Itri, Zaccagnini’s bakery, Weinerama, Cafe Luna.. the list is huge. Better Italian food than Federal Hill.
Yeah the hair is big and the accents are even bigger, but the food is perfect.

Weinerama on Oaklawn Ave. Google it. Doesn’t stay open late just for breakfast and lunch. A must is to see the weiner guy cover his arms with weiners. The same people are running it for the last 30+ years.
