Parade published a story this weekend on “Where to Eat in Every State! Here are the Best Restaurants Across The U.S.” and named the Spiced Pear at The Chanler at Cliff Walk and Hemenway’s in Providence among Rhode Island’s top spots. Solidifying to watch out what national magazines have to say about a place, seeing that the Spiced Pear closed several years ago now. But, we do recommend checking out Cara at The Chanler.
The Hall Of Fame Open is underway at the International Tennis Hall Of Fame. Here’s is today’s order of play. For tickets and more info, visit www.halloffameopen.com.
