Back in Providence (in the 60s) I used to love to go up to Federal Hill and manga, manga.

In those days besides the great and inexpensive dishes (veal picatta, linguini with REAL Ro Dyland clams) you might get a glimpse of Ray Patriarca or one of his capos getting an order to take back to the Capo di tutti capi.

Last time I was in PrahVahDenz, all the restaurants were tourista joints.

I'll pass on Providence. I spent a week there - involuntarily - during a blizzard in the 70's.
