Whether or not you look forward to Rhode Island winters, there’s always at least one perk: this is the best time to sit down and enjoy a nice, heavy meal. We’ve officially reached comfort food season, and it’s time to try those delicacies you’ve been craving for months that just don’t taste quite as good in the summer. We recommend starting at Milk Money in Providence.

Milk Money opened in 2015, promptly becoming a local favorite.

Walk in the door, take a few steps down, and you’ll be inside the cozy, intimate dining area.

Milk Money is a fairly small space, but it’s great for group dining – in fact, you can rent the place out for private events.
