July 13th 2018: Finishing Up Lincoln RI

I started out this morning in the town of Bedford, getting an Italian Sub from Sun Valley Subs, a takeout place pretty much.

Nothing special as expected.

After work, I headed towards Lincoln RI, passing through Smithfield RI,

Woonsocket Reservoir #3,
111 West Reservoir Road

then going on a hike at the Aust Family Preserve in Lincoln, where the path I took here is shown below in pink.

Nice views of Manton Pond, especially from the dam.

After visiting a few other places in town,

Lincoln Middle School

Wesley United Methodist Church

Lincoln Seventh Day Adventist Church

St. Basil the Great Church

it was on to Pawtucket RI,

St. Luke's Episcopal Church

St. Edward's Catholic Church

Woodlawn Baptist Church

St. Anthony's Church

Anchor Financial Mortgage Inc

Where I visited the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame, which is more of a corridor of posters than a museum.

With that, I called it a day for sightseeing, heading to Pizzico Ristorante, a hip Italian Bar restaurant in Providence.

With my coupon, I got the Vongole in Brodo (bottlenecks, roasted tomato broth, rosemary, shallots and evoo, served with garlic crostini) for appetizers,

The Tortellini d'Alba (pockets of pasta stuffed with Portobello and wild mushrooms, tossed with pancetta and mushrooms in a light brandy crema) for my main dish,

And the Mini Apple Pecan Tart (served warm, topped with vanilla gelato) for dessert.

The clams were not bad, although the toast was a little burnt. The pasta was good with the sauce as well, although some of the mushrooms tasted bitter. The best dish of the night was the pecan tart, warm and soft and just the right amount of sweetness.

Overall, not a bad meal I guess, if not for the long wait between my courses as the place was packed tonight. At least I finished another town today.

July 9th 2018: Finishing up Cumberland RI

I started out this morning with breakfast at the Chestnut Hill Restaurant, a decent diner at 616 Hamond street in the Chestnut Hill area of Brookline,

getting an Egg and Cheese Sandwich.

Nothing special, but I see that they might have Vietnamese Banh Mi on the menu as well?

After work, I headed to Lincoln RI, passing through Millbury,

Millbury Federal Credit Union,
50 Main Street

and Cumberland RI,

Tucker Field, 2529 Mendon Road

Old Methodist Episcopal Church,
1099 Mendon Road

Robin Hollow Pond, 281 Dexter Street

where I went on a short hike at the Veronica Geddes Bowen Wildlife Preserve. The path I took here is shown below in pink.

Not a bad view of the water body here for a short walk.

Another hike was to get to Pratt Dam on the Blackstone River Bikeway

northwestward from the junction of Ann and Hope Way and Mendon Road.

Not much of a dam, but a nice walk anyway.

visiting a few places in Lincoln

Lonsdale Baptist Church,
1570 Mendon Avenue

Scott Pond,
Walker Street and Lonsdale Avenue

including the Kelly House Museum

and a hike at Valley Marsh, where the path I took from ~1474 Lonsdale Avenue is shown below in pink.

Not much views of the wetland from the somewhat overgrown trail until the very end.

Not worth the trip in my opinion.

With that, I called it a day for sightseeing, passing through Attleborough

Old Hebronville Mills, 160 Knight Avenue

to get to Norwood, where I had dinner at Bamboo Cafe, a Chinese Japanese restaurant in town.

On the Chinese side, I got the Crispy Sesame Chicken

and the Christmas Tree Roll (Spicy tuna roll with avocado, seaweed salad, soy paper, & caviar).

The sushi was not bad, although the chicken was a little strong in flavor. Overall, nothing special here.

Glad I managed to finish up another town in Rhode Island.
