The best part of your favorite restaurant might not be on the menu. 🍷 Across Rhode Island, the spaces you love to linger in, celebrate in, and come back to again and again are often shaped long before the first plate hits the table. Behind many of them is Libby Slader, quietly designing the feeling of a night out, from the glow of the lighting to the way a seat invites you to stay just a little longer. Because here, it’s not just about what you eat. It’s how the space makes you feel while you’re there.

Rhode Island, that was something special 💙 Our very first Hey Rhody Market brought the community together inside @rhodesonthepawtuxet1915 for an evening full of local love, creativity, and connection. From dozens of incredible vendors to live entertainment filling the room, every corner of the space was buzzing. We loved seeing it all come to life through beautiful ballet performances, a stunning Beau Bleu fashion show, and the floral displays by Floral Designs by Donna that added such a special touch throughout the venue 🌸 A huge thank you to @pvdflea for hosting a mini market within the market. It brought even more of our favorite makers together in one place 🛍️ And of course, the Hey Rhody Cafe by @coldbrookcafe kept everyone going with coffee and treats all evening ☕️ This night was about celebrating 110 years of an iconic Rhode Island space while creating something brand new together, and you made it unforgettable. A special thank you to our presenting sponsor @beaubleu_boutique , our sponsors @rhodeislandenergy and @banknewport , and our incredible chamber partners for helping bring this to life. We’re so grateful to our community for showing up and supporting local in such a big way! Here’s to many more moments like this across the Ocean State ✨ (drone footage courtesy of the amazingly talented @zachpona 🤩🤩🤩) #heyrhodyphotos #rhodeislandevents #shoplocalri #rhodylife #supportlocal

According to research that I absolutely just made up, you’re always one neighborhood bar away from a better mood. Case in point: @clubfrillspvd Because if the drinks don’t do it and the company doesn’t either, the food (helloooooo oozie doozie 🧀) absolutely will. and if not… welp, that’s between you and you #providenceri #rhodeislandlife #pvdeats #bar #supportlocal

In Rhode Island, chefs don’t compete. They pull up a chair at each other’s tables. 🍽️ Across the state, the people behind your favorite restaurants are just as likely to be dining at one another’s spots, sharing ideas, supporting menus, and showing up on their nights off. It’s a dining scene built on respect, not rivalry and it shows up in every bite. From Westerly to Providence, this is the story behind the food you love and the community that keeps it thriving.

We survived the snow… now it’s time to thaw in style 🌿 Rhode Island is trading snowbanks for steam rooms, herbal tea, and soul-soothing spaces designed to bring you back to life after a long winter. From saunas that show up at your doorstep to tucked-away wellness studios, this is your sign to slow down and reset – Rhody style. Ready to feel like yourself again?

Some people collect art for their walls… others wear it. At Village Tattoo in Cranston, every piece tells a story, whether it’s a fresh design, a meaningful cover-up, or finally letting go of something that no longer fits. It’s a neighborhood spot with serious talent and a whole lot of heart behind the ink. 🎨 Click the link in bio to read more about this month's Rhody Gem! #heyrhody #rhodeislandlife #cranstonri #pawtuxetvillage #supportlocalri

Blink and you might drive right past it… and yes I’m speaking from experience (thank god for @chowbythebay 🙌) Hidden in the woods in @southcountyri , @winterhawkvineyards is the kind of spot that doesn’t beg for attention but absolutely deserves it. Last week, I had the absoluteeeee pleasure of spending the afternoon sipping through their wines, learning from the winemaker Rick Dyer, and snacking on perfectly paired bites by @craftandwillow 🤤 Thank you @the_faye_files for such a perfect spring day! #rhodeisland #southcountyri #heyrhodyphotos #wine #vineyards

Somewhere between your second margarita and your third taco, you realize you made the right plans. 🌮 At @xacotacori , the patio is officially open and Cinco de Mayo is in full swing, with margaritas flowing and tacos coming out all day and night. This month’s must order is the Cochinita Pibil, a slow roasted pork favorite layered with citrus and deep, spiced flavor, wrapped in banana leaf and topped with pickled red onion, tomato habanero salsa, and micro cilantro on fresh tortillas made from heirloom non GMO corn from Mexico. From 5-7pm tonight, you can also enjoy a tequila tasting featuring Patrón and Cazadores. Consider this your cue to grab a seat outside and toast to Cinco in true Providence style. 🤩 #pvdeats #cincodemayo #supportlocal #rhodeisland #track15
