Guidebook for Cranston
Food Scene
Local spots in Pawtuxet village and downtown PVD.
As a diner out - I enjoy small bites, trying new things, local takes on traditional dishes, and a good glass of natural wine. We also love spicy food. My favorite night out is hoping to a bar, grabbing a snack, and walking to grab a small bite at a tapas place, then ending the night with a glass of wine and cheese.
Everything on their charcuterie plate is made in house, and made with absolute love. Eating at Nicks is an experience you will never forget. If you can’t make it for dinner. Hit up their brunch and get anything with biscuits.

BYOB - grab a good bottle of wine or beer at ENO next door and order some unique bites. It can add up quick, but it's well worth sitting on the street or watching the chef create.

I've never had so much fun than on the River Boat. The captain has a dry sense of humor and a great guide. Grab drinks at the Hot Club and bring on the boat. Or pack a cooler :)
