 Personally, I like Caserta's Pizza on Federal Hill in Providence, 
myself. Pizzaria Uno (in Warwick, across from Warwick Mall) is also quite 
good, though their pizza is awfully thick.

Actually, just to clarify a point.  A 'quahog' actually is a *type* of
clam, smaller in size than ordinary clams.

Soda is used all over the world (I know, I've lived there :) except    
in the Midwest, where it is called 'pop.' (Soda refers to soda water
out here).

The "Law of R Conservation" is also evident if you happen to have an
Ideer about going to CUber (cuba for the RI- impaired) with a soder
in your hand.

Oh, and speaking of pronunciations.  RI is one of the only places
I've come across where one-syllable words suddenly become three-

I remember those too well.  I used to have a paper route in West Warwick,
and on Fridays,after making collections, I used to visit the local store
and buy 3 or 4 of them and a soda,sit outside on the curb and gobble them
down.  Then I'd go home for supper.

Where did I read recently that the term "living room" was invented by
real estate agents?  The story went that the "parlor" was the room that
was used for (in addition to what else it was ever used for) holding
actual wakes during the era when people did that in their own homes.
When society had largely shifted to professional "funeral parlors,"
the old term had negative connotations, so agents trying to sell
houses (and architects designing them) renamed the space to "living
rooms."

But yes, it's still a common term in New England.

Just because you can find a word in the dictionary, I don't think that
you can discount it from being a "Rhodyism".  I grew up in Rhode Island
always knowing that a hassock was a hassock not an ottoman.  An ottoman

I am curious as to what you had and why you didn't like it.  I have
liked everything I have eaten there, as far as I recall.  Their fish in
batter with a basil sauce, with the rather unappetizing name of Pla Rad
Prik, is one of my favorite dishes.

I have recommended it to a lot of people, and never heard a complaint.
I have been there with lots of people, and they have all at least liked,
and usually loved, the food.

The fact that it is still there, and still packed every time I go there,
is a testament to the fact that many people like it as much as I do...

I would qualify this by saying that I have no idea how authentic the
food is.  What Thai restaurants do you like?

Well, Paglaridies Pizza in NK is great Pepperoni Pizza - nice tangy sauce.
Tony's Pizza in NK has a great "Meatball" pizza (really just ground beef).
And North Kingstown House of Pizza has pretty good all-around pizza.

If I was at the office, I'd have all the phone numbers handy!  Email me if you
need 'em!

Yes but according to the conservation of R theory, which states that Rs can
neither be created or destroyed,  when an R is added to a word such as SODER
or VODKER a R must be left of other words such as pahk (park) and cah (car).

This R drop/add phenomena is common not only in RI but throughout New England.
