National Oyster Day is Wednesday, August 5th! Where are you celebrating? 🍋
Celebrate National Oyster Day in Providence & Beyond: https://hubs.la/Q04rvpmX0)
Celebrate National Oyster Day in Providence & Beyond August 5 is National Oyster Day and we've rounded up all kinds of deals for you! Whether you're digging some buck-a-shuck specials or want a behind-the-scenes peek at where oysters are grown, look no further for everything you need to have a shucking good time.
We went to Saint’s Cafe, a new Dominican-rooted spot in the West End ☕️
Saint’s Cafe just opened in April 2026, and pays homage to the owner’s heritage, taking inspiration from her father’s coffee farm in the Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴
The space is cozy, homey, and tastefully decorated. Tucked away in the West End of Providence, Saint’s is a spot you go to actually sit and enjoy your coffee. 🤎
I got an iced Dulce de Leche latte, and seriously, 10/10 rating — the foam, rich espresso, homemade syrup, cookie crumble on top (are we kidding!!?) 🍪
Go check out Saint’s Café for your next coffee run or quiet morning, and let us know where to go next!

Thinking about your next date night spot?! Yellow Door Taqueria - Providence has specials this week and next for Providence Restaurant Weeks, and the patio is waiting for you 💛
We recommend the coconut shrimp or birria tacos, and if you're straying from the Restaurant Weeks menu, go for the elote nachos 🔥

In case you're needing inspiration for where to go for Restaurant Weeks... this is what your evening at Blu Violet could look like 👀
A spritz bucket, some house-made pasta, and THIS view? Sign me up 🍹🍊
Hannah Turner, Lead Mixologist, walked us through Blu Violet PVD's Restaurant Weeks food and beverage offerings, curated by none other than herself and their new Chef, Benjamin Stroud.
You'll get to build your own 3-course menu, with several options for apps, entrees and desserts.
The signature drink is an Aperol Spritz Bucket, equivalent to about 3-4 spritzes, and costs just $27 with $10 refills. We also tried: Rum Away With Me and Loco For Lychee. 🍸
Check out Blu Violet PVD for all their updated happenings - including Sunday evening's Rooftop Rhythms ✨🎧 - and make sure you're following GoProvidence to stay updated on all things going on in PVD!
