Are your thoughts turning to dinnertime? Tonight (Thursday) is the annual “Dine Out for Life” event sponsored by AIDS Project Rhode Island. I just realized I hadn’t heard anything about it this year, double-checked that it was still on (yup), and hoped that even a last-minute plug would help this non-profit complete its mission. 25% …
[Update: I’ll bump this up as a reminder. Might be fun. BC] At last, our long national nightmare is over. They have already had a ‘soft’ opening — always a good idea for working out the bugs, so to speak — but in two days AS220 will hold the ‘craaaazy’ opening celebration, “Hail Seitan” (which …

But what started out as a fairly routine trip to the Hill ended up being a very strange dining experience at …
Tini — the new restaurant from Al Forno owners George Germon and Johanne Killeen — is now open on Washington Street. I guess it’s been open for four weeks, but yesterday was the first I noticed it. Not too surprising, considering that the diminutive front makes it seems almost like a side room of Gracie’s. …
