Casual bites
Quick service or counter service restaurants- these places are great spots to get food for a picnic!
Casa Azul is my go-to neighborhood spot. I eat there at least once a week. It’s a family run restaurant who is brought their recipes from Mexico. The owner, Alejandra, is the sweetest. In addition to the standards - tacos, quesadillas, burritos, they also have unique specials like birria tacos and torta sandwiches, always with meat and vegan options.

Dune Brothers is a walk-up window that serves incredibly good chowder, fish n chips and other seafood. They’re super passionate about sourcing fish from New England. It’s located right next to the pedestrian bridge so it’s perfect for a picnic in the park across the street or at one of their picnic tables.

Pizza Marvin serves up some of my favorite pizza, offering both great crispy thick crust and thin crust. They have a locally harvested raw bar, seafood appetizers and homemade (really good) canned cocktails. The location has a throwback vibe and the staff is cool and kind. Located on Wickenden St. by lots of other cool shops & restaurants.

DenDen Korean Fried Chicken is one of my favorite spots on Thayer St. (right off Brown’s campus). As their name implies, their fried chicken is delicious - Crunchy, flavorful, and just scrumptious (try the soy garlic sauce!) They also have rice and noodle dishes and small plates like dumplings (another favorite). This is a no tipping restaurant, tip is built into the menu prices.

Most people in Providence would name Tallulah’s the spot for the best tacos. In college, I was here several times per week. Everything is good- but the chicken or shrimp tacos are my favorite. I always order ahead online to avoid the long lines. It’s perfect to pick up for a picnic or to enjoy on their patio with a churro and margarita.

Tony's Colonial is an italian grocery store in the Federal Hill neighborhood - there's another Italian grocery store across the street and another a few doors down. This one is my favorite (though they're all good). Pick up something quick from their deli or a delicious sandwich. This is a great spot to grab food for a picnic as there's lots of variety. It's authentically Italian & family-owned (you'll likely hear the staff arguing with each other haha).

Since 1997, East Side Pockets has been a fixture in the heart of Providence’s busy Thayer Street. They serve consistently great Middle Eastern food.

The Eddy is known for their extremely talented and creative bartenders (see if Parker is working- he’s the best).
