Reasons to Go to George’s of Galilee

Saturdays 11-4pm

Marina Park & SK Town Beach www.fieldofartisans.com

@fieldofartisans

The food options are unbelievable.

Seafood is the signature specialty here – be it grilled, sautéed, baked, or fried. Clams, shrimp, oysters, lobster, mussels, fluke, and salmon are just a sampling of what’s available on the award-winning seafood menu. Hand-cut ribeye steaks, freshly made pastas, sushi, healthy options (such as gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan dishes), and kids’ favorites are also among the delicious options available daily for lunch and dinner.

The fish is fresh off the boat.

Nestled in the port of Galilee, George’s is committed to the fishing village and its community of commercial fishermen. The restaurant buys its fish directly from local day boats to serve

fresh and responsibly caught seafood.

It’s the place to be.

There’s no better way to spend an afternoon than updating your Instagram from George’s picture-perfect outdoor patio overlooking Salty Brine Beach. The covered upstairs deck and outdoor dining area brim with lively bars and live music and entertainment seven days a week in the summer.

It’s a Rhode Island icon.

A local tradition since 1948, the third-generation family restaurant continues to delight diners with its outstanding food, sweeping waterfront views, and customer service. Dining here is more than just a meal – it’s an experience. The largest waterfront restaurant in the state offers seven dining rooms on two floors with seating for up to 500 people. The gorgeous

AMUSEMENT PARKS • AQUATIC ADVENTURES • BLOCK ISLAND GETAWAY

SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS

Get a new perspective on familiar sights with a helicopter tour Typically, summer in Rhode Island is a by-land-and-by-sea kind of affair, though most of us know this state inside and out by all land-locked and nautical vantage points. In the spirit of shaking things up, we propose taking it to the sky. Heliblock runs charters as well as guided tours between Westerly and Block Island. Some of their tours include a trip over the Block Island Wind Farm or an aerial lap around the island. Over the mainland, tours glide over Watch Hill, Misquamicut Beach, and, yes, even Taylor Swift’s house. Flying over Aquidneck Island is Newport Helicopters Tours, which circles the Newport Mansions and lighthouses. They’ll even take you further up for a bird’s-eye view of Bristol and Providence. Seeing the state from hundreds of feet up is one thing, but for wannabe pilots out there, both companies offer demo flights, letting you get your hands on the controls and actually pilot the helicopter. A real pilot will be sitting next to you with their hands on the controls as well, but you can leave that part out when you’re bragging to your friends back on the ground. HeliblockTours.com; NewportHelicopterTours.com –Tony Pacitti

EXPLORING • FUN STUFF

FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT Let out your inner child of summer at these fun spots Believe it or not, you don’t have to go to the beach to cool off in summer – just ask the folks at the Yawgoo Valley Water Park. Take a dip in the pool, or cruise down one of their two waterslides. Loud whoops of excitement and singing of Paul Simon’s “Slip Slidin’ Away” are highly encouraged. Exeter, Yawgoo.com

By Miles Temel

Yawgoo Valley Water Park

Roger Williams Park Zoo

As one of Rhode Island’s most wellknown attractions, it’s practically mandatory to go to the Roger Williams Park Zoo with the family at least once this season. Carousel Village features plenty of activities for families to bounce, ride, and play, and thrillseekers can cruise 115 feet above the zoo in the newly added Soaring Eagle Zip Ride. Oh, and there’s that part with all the animals, too. Providence, RWPZoo.org

Make a list of quintessential summertime amusement activities, and Adventureland will have all of them. Mini golf, go karts, batting cages, ice cream stand, carousel, bumper boats – you name it, it’s there. Their newest attractions, as of last summer, are three 25foot Extreme Big Air Jumpers. All they ask is that you be sure to save some good times for the rest of South County. Narragansett, AdventurelandRI.com

If the waves are getting to be too much, just aim the boogie board a little to the left of the towels, and you’ll wash right up at Atlantic Beach Park for summer entertainment. There are bumper cars, monkey barrels, an arcade, a kiddie coaster, and a carousel dating back to 1915 to enjoy. After you’ve worked up an appetite, grab a bite to eat at the snack bar and polish it off with a scoop from the ice cream stand – we won’t be upset if you don’t have room for dinner. Westerly, AtlanticBeachPark.com

To experience a slice of Gilded Age charm outside of Newport’s mansions, look no further than the Looff Carousel at Crescent Park. This landmark has been spinning since 1895, and is one of Rhode Island’s officially-designated National Historic Landmarks. The carousel is currently undergoing some restoration projects, but fear not – the folks at Crescent Park promise it will welcome riders this summer. Riverside, CrescentParkCarousel.org

If you take a walk off the Misquamicut Beach along Atlantic Avenue, you’ll be at Bayview Fun Park before you have the time to shake the sand off your feet. With go-karts, batting cages, mini-golf, and bumper boats, this is an ideal spot to take a break from the sand and surf. Spend some time there, take a plunge in the ocean when you get hot, then head back over and repeat. Westerly

In the dog days of summer, it can seem like there’s no space for a blanket bigger than a postage stamp at Misquamicut Beach. Fortunately, Water Wizz of Westerly is right up the road for anyone looking to stay cool, and have some serious fun doing so. With over 1,000 feet of waterslides, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy themselves, from the Little Dipper slide for young riders to the Super Speed racing slides for that friend who makes everything into a competition. Westerly, WaterWizzRI.com

The Flying Horse Carousel stands tucked at the end of Watch Hill’s main drag – a fairly modest spot for the oldest suspended-horse carousel in the country. Just steps from the sand, the horses have been delighting visitors to the South County seaside since the 1870s. Grab the brass ring and you win a free ride, but we have a feeling you’ll want to take another spin anyway. Watch Hill

EXPLORING • KAYAKING

Waterways aren’t our natural habitat, but it’s fascinating to spot the critters who call our rivers and oceans home. Narrow River Kayak offers kayak and stand-up paddle board (SUP) rentals, as well as sunrise and full moon tours, but what really stand out are their guided eco tours. Narrow River’s resident Master Naturalist Guide will take paddlers out to learn all about the fishy and feathered friends that live in the John H. Chaffee National Wildlife Refuge. Narragansett, NarrowRiverKayaks.com

The Kayak Centre rents kayaks and SUPs and offers lessons from their Wickford and Charlestown locations. New paddlers can take a beginner class, or try an advanced class to sharpen their skills. Tours branch off into two categories, Gentle Adventures and Coastal Tours, which explore everything from Wickford Harbor and Ninigret Pond to the coastline of Jamestown and Newport. Wickford and Charlestown, KayakCentre.com

HEY RHODY SUMMER 2018

Paddling can be a very calming experience, but is there even such a thing as being too relaxed? Jamestown Outdoors – in addition to kayak and SUP rentals, sunrise and eco tours, and paddling instruction – adds a very zen element to summer on the water: SUP Yoga. Improve your balance and core strength, all while soaking in the sun and floating off of Fort Getty. Jamestown, JamestownOutdoors.com

The savings are incredible. Kitchen Guys has been the go-to source for affordable appliances for over 15 years. Specializing in scratch-and-dent appliances, the retailer offers an impressive range of moderate to high-end models at below retail costs. A best-kept secret for years, Kitchen Guys moved into a larger showroom last year to meet their ever growing inventory. Offering expert service and delivery, you’ll never want to pay retail again once you shop here.

Selection, selection, selection!

EXPLORING • DAY TRIPPING

AN ISLAND DAYCATION AWAITS How to get the most out of Block Island in a single day By Jeanette St. Pierre

Champlin’s Resort

7am: Arrive to the ferry port in Point Judith You’ll need a form of transportation to see most of Block Island’s roughly 10 square miles of land. Renting mopeds, bikes, and Jeeps are all options on island, but the best bang for your buck and time is to BYO. Bikes are $7 each and a standard vehicle is $80, both roundtrip, on the Block Island Ferry. Note that cars require advance reservations and to be checked in on dock an hour prior to the traditional ferry’s departure. BlockIslandFerry.com 8am: Ferry departs The traditional ferry is a 55 minute ride, which is ample time to rest up for the busy day ahead of you.

HEY RHODY SUMMER 2018

8:15am: Hit the snack bar While you try to relax, passenger after passenger walks by you with the best-looking Bloody Mary you’ve ever seen. “I’m on vacation,” you tell yourself when you order one. And then you officially are. 8:55am: Arrive on Block Island Bringing a car has another big bonus: passengers with vehicles are the first ones off the ferry. Nothing screams VIP like peeling off the dock while a boatload of people watch in pure envy. This daycation thing already looks good on you. 9am: Grab breakfast in Old Harbor Head over to Persephone’s Kitchen, a cozy cafe on Dodge Street, for egg and

avocado sandwiches, gluten-free banana bread, and their signature smoothie bowls – the perfect marriage of thickened fruit-based smoothies with granola. PersephonesKitchenBI.com 10am: Head to Southeast Light Stop by Southeast Light, one of two lighthouses on island, for a quick dose of history, architecture, and awe-inspiring views of the Atlantic and the Block Island Wind Farm – otherwise known as the Instagram Trifecta. 22 Mohegan Trail 11am: Peek at the Mohegan Bluffs You could spend an entire day walking down the 141 steps that lead to patches of near-perfect beaches complete with

crystal clear water and spectacular vistas of the 200-foot Mohegan Bluffs. The descent and climb back is challenging and time-consuming, so today you’ll take a peek from the top and half-check it off your BI bucket list. There, that felt good. 12pm: Go parasailing Your next stop is to Block Island Parasailing, where you’ll soar 500 to 800 feet up in the air for an unmatched view of the island from above. Though the entire ride only takes about 20 minutes, bragging rights are yours forever (or at least this summer). BlockIslandParasail.com

1pm: Pick up lunch to go The beach is your next respite/multi-tasking activity, and you’ll need to pick up some take-out for lunch to keep this Block Island boot camp… I mean island getaway… as efficient as possible. The Beachhead is not only conveniently located down the street from the town beach, it’s crazy delicious. Seafood is a must-order here. BeacheadBI.com 1:15pm: Pull up to the beach There are plenty of reasons why Fred Benson Town Beach is the best beach in Rhode Island. Free admission, white sand, clear-as-day water, hot showers, and on-site chair and umbrella rentals are a few of them. It’s also one of a few beaches where dogs are allowed, which just adds to the chill vibe. Grab your lunch, along with your beach chairs and towels from your trunk (you packed those, right?), and plop on the sand for a little down time. 3pm: Explore New Harbor Block Island has two harbors on opposite ends of the island: Old Harbor, the town’s busy hub that the BIF

July 25-August 5, University of Rhode Island.

The seafood festival will run Thursday through Saturday in Memorial Square, followed by a 10-mile race on Friday and, of course, the actual Blessing of the Fleet in the port of Galilee on Saturday. Our suggestion? Eat a ton of seafood, run it all off, then eat a bunch more seafood as you watch the brightly decorated ships sail by. July 26-28, Narragansett. NarragansettLionsClub.org The Washington County Fair has everything you could possibly want out of a big, old-school summer festival.

ConserFest is music on a mission. Back for another rocking day of music on Block Island is a grassroots music festival dedicated to raising money and awareness for the island’s conservation efforts.

ConserFest.org As summer winds down – say it ain’t so! – there’s one final blowout to look forward to, the Rhythm & Roots Festival. Last year introduced “glamping” to the three-day festival, giving festival goers who want the under-thestars experience without having to do the work a chance to rent out a pre-pitched tent complete with cots, a lantern, and a private toilet (of course the DIY route is still on the table). But really, it’s about the music, and this year’s lineup will feature Taj Mahal Trio, Steve Earle & the Dukes, and RI’s only acclaimed storyteller Len Cabral, among lots of others. We can’t think of a better way to send off our favorite season. August 31-September 2, Ninigret Park, Charlestown. RhythmAndRoots.com For a classic – and classical – night of music, look no further than the Roger Williams Park Pops featuring the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra.

Or, if you prefer your aquatic adventures with a bit of history, sign up for an amphibious tour aboard Miss Betsey, the park’s own by-land-and-by-sea duck boat. Roger Williams Park, ProvidenceRI.gov

Downtown Providence exploded on social media when it unveiled the Bumper Cars at the Providence Rink. After swapping out their snow tires, they’re back for the summer. And because they apparently weren’t fun enough, they’ll be rolling out a massive soccer ball for some serious real life Rocket League action. Kennedy Plaza, TheProvidenceRink.com

The East Bay Bike Path is a summertime must. It has everything: beautiful views, immediate access to green spaces, ice cream, Del’s, and artisanal coffee and treats. Whether you’re embarking from Providence’s India Point Park or using the path to get there, this is the season’s ultimate gateway to to city.

PLAY BALL! The Newport Gulls and the Ocean State Waves are fielding tomorrow’s Major League stars By Adam Toobin • Photography by Tony Pacitti

In Rhode Island, baseball season has always meant the Red Sox – both Boston and Pawtucket. But recently, the success of two summer collegiate teams has opened a new frontier in the state’s long history with the national pastime. For the past two decades, once final exams are taken and caps and gowns stowed

away, college players seeking a ticket to the major leagues have come to Rhode Island to join in one of most elite training grounds in amateur baseball — the New England Collegiate Baseball League. All summer, the 13 teams that make up the NECBL play before crowds and scouts interested in a peek at the faces who may

be gracing tomorrow’s trading cards. For Rhode Islanders, that means a trip to see the Newport Gulls or the Ocean State Waves, two teams that, like their home state, play an outsized role in the competition. Rhode Islanders unfamiliar with the local NECBL presence may still recognize Cardines Field in downtown Newport, the

teams in national collegiate baseball. “The players come here to get better. They’re here to hone their skills, and quite frankly they’re here to prepare for the draft,” said Paiva. “Summer wood bat leagues exist because these scouts want to see them hit with a wood bat.” More than 250 Gulls alumni have now been drafted into professional baseball, including 15 who have made it into Major League Baseball. This deep bench of alumni has helped build the Gulls into a national force with a presence known far outside of Rhody’s narrow borders. But now, having reached the upper decks of collegiate baseball, the Gulls are facing perhaps their stiffest

competition yet, and from the other side of the state. For Matt Finlayson, owner and GM of the Ocean State Waves since its founding 2013, it’s no coincidence that their team has emerged in the shadows of the dynastic Gulls. “I’ve been in Chuck’s office all the time – since day one he’s been a mentor to me,” said Finlayson. “He taught me how to build a roster, how to market, how to build a successful operation.” And in just the past few seasons, the Waves have already assembled a set of worthy credentials. Last season, the team tallied the best regular-season record in the NECBL and

home of the Gulls. One of the oldest ballparks in America, Cardines houses about 3,000 seats. And on the cool summer nights in Newport, when the lights turn on and the families turn out, almost every one is filled. The squad’s record as the winningest team in the NECBL certainly helps, as does the in-house bar, but there’s no question that a night at Cardines has grown to define collegiate summer ball at its best. Chuck Paiva, owner and General Manager of the Gulls for nearly two decades, who led the team’s migration across the bay from its original home in Cranston, has leveraged the team’s local celebrity to establish the Gulls as one of the most dominant

earned its first berth in the division championships before falling to the Valley Blue Sox in a 2-0 series. About 38 percent of players who have spent a season with the Waves have been drafted into the major leagues, totaling about 30 overall. And the offseason has already yielded a major victory for the franchise, as word came down in late April that Mike Gerber – of the 2013 Waves — would be the first former alum to step foot on an MLB diamond. With such a rapid accession to the heights of the NECBL, it may be fair to wonder whether the Waves have truly built a solid enough foundation on which to compete over the long term. However, the legions of fans and supporters who have rallied to games at Old Mountain Field in South Kingstown don’t doubt that the team has achieved

something special. Chris Hess, a former Ocean State Wave and URI ballplayer who grew up in South County, remembers watching Waves games while still in high school. Now, having been drafted by the New York Yankees organization and in his first season on the minor league Charlestown RiverDogs, he recalls how his summer with the Waves prepared him for the big leagues. “The league’s really good. It lets you build your confidence, and if you played well, you can get scouted,” Hess said. Ultimately, far from dividing the state, the Waves and the Gulls are building a new baseball community that is bringing people together. For Rhode Islanders, the only difficulty will be figuring out which of the two local powerhouses is the home team. NewportGulls.com; OceanStateWaves.com

The Nitro Cart Photography by Kendall Pavan St. Laurent

CAFFEINE ON TAP

Keep your pre-beach coffee fix on trend with nitro brew Nothing comes betweenRhode Islanders and our perfectly chilled cup of caffeine, but there’s plenty to shake it up – in this case, we’re talking about nitro cold brew. Think of it as an iced coffee that’s served like a beer. The cold brew java is stored in a keg and infused with nitrogen, giving it a nice, frothy pour not unlike a stout. The best part is it goes down so smooth that you can drink it as-is, but if you’ve gotta have that extra-extra, we’re not going to stop you. The Nitro Cart has cold brew taps at more than 30 locations all over the state, including their cafe on Broadway in Providence. The original mobile cart still makes weekly pop-up appearances. The Shop on Providence’s East Side cold brews their own nitro in-house, and The Nook Coffee House in East Greenwich stocks kegs from Pawtucket-based New Harvest Coffee Roasters.

SUMMER SIXER

Local brews that deserve a place in your cooler By Wendell Clough

Revival You Thirsty? New England IPA BeerAdvocate labeled the New England IPA its own style in May of 2017, but the craving for hazy, juicy, hop-dominant beer goes back much further. This is brewmaster Sean Larkin's take on the style, and nothing overwhelms, even as there's a lot going on in the nose, the mouthfeel and the finish. Some reviews note mango, honeydew, pineapple, and peach, and none of the beat-you-into-submission bitterness that those who avoid IPA's complain about. An IPA that's easy to drink. Have you had one? This is one.

Foolproof Ocean State Lager Out of town friends and family are coming, and you don’t know what they drink? Need a beer to have when you’re having more than one? This brand new beer from the mind of Nick Garrison is closer to what non-beer-snobs (i.e. regular folks) call “beer,” and relatively inexpensive for something brewed at a craft brewery. Load up and enjoy a traditional lawnmower beer flavor, only much better. The out-of-towners will like that it’s local, and has a lighthouse on the can and “Ocean State” in the name.

Whalers Rise APA Did you have Rise’s excellent version of an American Pale Ale once or twice and then set out for newer and wackier styles? C’mon back and remind yourself that it’s not exactly common in 2018 to find a lightly fruity, biscuity pale ale that offers all the complexity of flavor you want without bashing in your cranium with all of them. Because that’s really what you want in the summer.

Narragansett Fresh Catch Twenty years ago, blonde ales were brewed for consumers scared of anything past BudMilCoorHeinona. Now, blonde ales are a chance to challenge your brewer to create a golden-colored flavorful ale with notes of grapefruit that will offset your favorite lobster, shrimp, and white-fleshed fish dishes. IPA snobs who realized that the cold citrus tang of a great pilsner is remarkably similar to (but more summer-subtle than) enjoying a hop monster owe themselves a few Fresh Catches while the sun climbs high.

Sons of Liberty Loyal Lemonade Part of what makes beer so perfect in the summer is its portability. Who wants to lug a handle of vodka and all the mixers to an outdoor get together, really? Sons of Liberty, who have been rolling out great surprises since (holy smokes, since 2009? Time flies when you are enjoying your local distillery) have put an ethereal combination of vodka and all-natural flavors into a very portable container. At 9% ABV, you will want plenty of ice if you are starting at noon. And unlike beer, you should totally muddle your favorite fruit into Loyal Lemonade. Sons of Liberty suggests rosemary. Good call.

Grey Sail Hazy Days Like your favorite uncle at a bonfire, it’s sometimes fun to appreciate the unfiltered. This is a sterling example of the Belgian Wit style… which means nothing if you’ve never had one, so how about this: pair this with steamed mussels, herbed cheeseand-crackers, or desserts with bananas or orange. You will see why the wit style is a gateway beer for the wine or cocktail enthusiast who likes a little tang or a little spice.

DINING • TROPICAL COCKTAILS

EVERYTHING BIG Nothing says “summer” like a huge, fruity cocktail

When it gets warm, the only things we want are sunshine and cocktails. Lucky for us Rhode Island has many places to imbibe outdoors and take in some rays – one glass at a time. Here are four particularly festive recommendations that will help you toast to the season. By Meghan H. Follet

Goombay Smash At Ballard’s Inn on Block Island, you can enjoy any one of their fine cocktails in an Insta-worthy real pineapple, all while keeping your toes in the sand. We recommend the signature Goombay Smash, a tantalizing mix of coconut rum, banana liqueur, and fruit juices that scream summer. Stop by one of their beachfront tiki bars and grab a seat to enjoy the full Island experience. Block Island, BallardsBI.com

Blue Hawaii Blue Hawaii is not only the name of a classic Elvis movie; it’s also the name of a delicious ocean-hued cocktail at Ogie’s Trailer Park in Providence. Out on Ogie’s patio, where the trailers are hitched up ‘round the firepit, you can also find a small tiki bar that mixes up these tropical concoctions during the summer months. This nostalgic classic is made with rum, vodka, pineapple, sweet and sour, and blue curacao. It’s a tasty combo that won’t make you feel like you ate a whole bag of sugar. I mean, no judgement here… what would Elvis do? Providence. OgiesTrailerPark.com

Strawberry Basil Chi Chi If you’re looking for a refreshing selection, head to George’s of Galilee. There you’ll find the Strawberry Basil Chi Chi, which was selected by the Food Network as the highlight beverage from one of its “Top Places to Eat.” The Chi Chi is made with local ingredients, perfect for sipping while soaking up the beautiful fishing village view. It features Wakefield’s own Sons of Liberty Spirits’ Loyal 9 vodka alongside piña colada and strawberry purees, and is topped with a basil leaf. Cheers! Narragansett, GeorgesOfGalilee.com

The Shark Attack Along the quaint family-friendly shores of Misquamicut lies a deadly creature: the Shark Attack. Paddy’s Beach Club goes for the whole fishbowl of booze, giving you more bang for your buck. You can drown yourself in the sweet tastes of coconut rum, fruit juices, and two sharks filled with a “Paddy Wagon” shot in each order. With that much to offer, this may be the only attack we recommend sharing with a friend. Westerly, PaddysBeach.com Photography by Stacey Doyle

MOLTO GELATO!

Leaner and more flavorful than ice cream, gelato is a summer standby By Robert Isenberg

Like ice cream, gelato contains milk, cream, and sugar, and it’s churned in almost any flavor imaginable. Yet gelato isn’t ice cream. So what’s the difference? True gelato makers could explain their craft for hours, recounting precise measurements of butterfat. But on a hot day, it’s better to just take a tiny spoon, taste its unique texture, and be amazed. Here are four places to do just that. Cold Fusion Gelato If you have a pulse, you will probably hear the phrase “Dark Chocolate Sea Salt” and grow instantly hungry. But if, for whatever reason, that sweet-savory combo doesn’t suit your palate, Cold Fusion has 33 other handmade flavors ready for the tasting. Summer in Newport is already a sublime experience, but artisan gelato and sorbets make it all the sweeter. Imagine yourself strolling down Thames Street, caressed by an ocean breeze, as you savor spoonfuls of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. You can even pick up pints or 1.5-gallon boxes for a late-night binge. Newport, ColdFusionGelato.com

HeyRhody.com

Nana’s Ice Cream & Gelato A sunny visit to the beach basically requires a waffle cone. Nana’s Ice Cream & Gelato, a short walk from Narragansett Beach, serves both types of creamy goodness, and the options are dizzying: cones and sundaes, smoothies and milkshakes, soft serve and sugar-free ice cream, iced coffee and ice cubes made of coffee, plus 50 flavors to choose from. The shop is already overflowing with sugary options, but you can also slip into Nana’s Candy Bar next door, where the shelves are stacked with fudge and taffy, and you’re encouraged fill up a plastic bucket with hard candies. Nana’s may not help your beach body, but this gelateria is a seaside treasure. Narragansett, NanasGelato.com

Amoré Espresso Gelato Bar Hot and cold, bitter and sweet – opposite flavors often harmonize, and no combination is better than gelato and espresso. Standing on a quiet stretch of Pearl Street near the RI Hospital campus, Amoré is an intimate cafe housed in a Victorian cottage, where guests can sip cappuccinos and hot apple cider all day. When the weather warms up, the pavement outside is ringed with bistro tables, and visitors feast on Amoré’s famous pistachio gelato. This gelateria offers a nice respite from the bustle of Downcity, and you can even stick around for panini sandwich or goat cheese salad, among other lunch offerings. Providence, AmorePVD.com

Medici Gelato Maple Avenue in Barrington is one of those perfect residential streets, with shingled houses and manicured lawns, so of course there would be a quaint little gelato shop. Medici Gelato has been serving customers since 2014, when Jean and Bob Robertson bought the property. In addition to their regular flavors, the Robertsons make a coffee-saturated affogato and a rice-milk gelato that is gluten-free. As for the name: ice cream was supposedly invented at the behest of Catherine de Medici, but the building also belonged to the late John Medici, former police chief of Barrington.

Rhode Island Mulch Express Blower Services has a 60 yard blower truck that can lay down mulch in less than an hour

Mulch Ma de Easy Rhode Island Mulch Express Blower Services installs mulch in an innovative and efficient way Alicia and Nick Donadio have a unique business: their Rhode Island Mulch Express Blower Services blows mulch into garden beds, saving homeowners and landscapers countless hours of work. In fact, they’re the only operation in the state that has a 60 yard Express Blower Truck. We recently caught up with Alicia to learn more about their innovative mulch service.

How does blown-in mulch work? We deliver and install the mulch without it ever touching your driveway. When the truck arrives at the property, long hoses are pulled from the truck around the property to install the mulch directly into the beds at the depth the customer requests. The operator uses a remote control that allows materials to be precisely applied. It is very uniform and creates an even application. Normally, the process involves bringing wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow over to the beds one at a time. Having the mulch blown in saves time, and a lot of hard work. Our process is significantly faster and more convenient. What types of properties do you service? Can you do small properties? If mulch needs to be installed, we can do it! We service both commercial and residential properties throughout Rhode Island. And yes, we can install our products on smaller properties with a 10 yard minimum. What kinds of products and other services do you provide? We have all kinds of mulches: brown, black, pine,

cedar, and more. Many are all-natural, some are color enhanced or organically enhanced. Our other services include Soil and Compost applications, Terraseeding, Certified Playground Chip installations and Erosion Controls like Silt Sock. What are the benefits of mulch? Mulch is not only a fast way to make your property look its best, it’s also very beneficial to your soil and plants. It helps suppress weeds, retains moisture, adds nutrients, and moderates soil temperature. How long does a typical mulch installation take with this service? Well, every property is unique; it really depends on the layout and size of the beds. A 10-20 yard job can typically be completed in about an hour. What do you say to skeptics? We have always told potential customers, “Give us your most difficult job, the one you dread doing every year.” Once they see us pull that off fast and efficiently, we have that customer for life. They’ll never touch a wheelbarrow again.

LAST LOOK

Fire dancer Elizabeth Knights of Cirque De Light performing at WaterFire

THE FIRE DANCER Words and photography by Wolf Matthewson The rhythmic pulse of drumming echoes through the city at nightfall as rows of crackling bonfires illuminate the waterways of downtown Providence. A long black boat with a fire dancer at the bow emerges through heat, smoke, and flame, as if a mirage. All are enchanted. Small children gaze in wonder; dreaming of the magical possibilities that life might hold in the future while adults drift back to a time when they believed magic was still a possibility. And the flames, under the artistic spell of the fire dancer, brush the evening canvas of WaterFire in dazzling strokes of light and shadow, flickering and whirling their way down the river.
