This weekend has all the fixings to be a great one. I kicked it off with a little throwback on Thayer, grabbing a bite at Andrea’s. While the landscape on Brown’s main drag seems to be constantly changing, Andrea’s is a constant, and their Avgolemono Soup remains one of my favorite things in Providence - utterly delicious every time. When I was growing up a quick bite on Thayer before heading to the Brown hockey game was a weekend tradition, and when you find a great combo like that it’s best to stick with it! Friday night home games are always the best when the Brown band is playing in the stands. Though their song catalogue has changed from what I remember (Lady Gaga at a hockey game?), most else at Meehan still feels like home. The Bears skated to a 3-3 tie with Union tonight, and you bet I was watching from my old spot behind the home goal.
Tomorrow’s pick for the day is the highly anticipated 2012 RISD Alumni Holiday Sale. The annual sale brings together work from hundreds of RISD graduates and local artists, and if the pieces I saw at RISD Works are anything to judge by, there will be something for everyone on my list and then some! I plan on getting a load of my gift shopping done and collecting the rest of the set of this year’s Buy Art pins! The sale will take place from 10AM to 5PM at the Rhode Island Convention Center, and is $7 admission, with proceeds to support RISD scholarships.
