Neighborhood Kitchens visits Pawtucket - Providence's East Side and Rasoi

By Margarita Martinez   |   Tuesday, May 21, 2013   0 comments.

Spring is my favorite time in New England. In Providence and Pawtucket, the trees, bushes, and flowers are in bloom along the streets surrounding Blackstone Boulevard and East Avenue, creating a lovely canopy to stroll beneath. One particularly lush place to visit at this time of year is the Slater Mill Museum. Located in downtown Pawtucket on the Blackstone River, the Slater Mill Museum has a park bordered by blooming trees and the historic textile mill buildings. Built in 1793, the Old Slater Mill was the first successful textile mill. Today individuals and organizations can visit the Old Slater Mill to enjoy the grounds and to learn more about life during the Industrial Revolution in New England.



Another great reason to visit Pawtucket in the spring and summer is to see the Pawtucket Red Sox play at McCoy Stadium. The PawSox are the farm team for the Boston Red Sox and sports fans can watch major league prospects play baseball at McCoy for a fraction of the price of a game at Fenway. I am particularly partial to the PawSox since they invited me to throw the first pitch during my visit! I didn't quite make it over the plate, but I am proud to report that my pitch had only one hop before landing right in PawSox catcher Daniel Butler's mitt.



Pawtucket is also home to the delicious Indian restaurant Rasoi, located right where Hope Street in Providence turns into East Avenue in Pawtucket. Within a short walk there are great bakeries, the James Beard-nominated Cook and Brown Public House, the specialty olive oil shop Olive del Mondo, a BBQ joint, the Lippitt Park spring and summer farmer's market, and lots of restaurants and cafes. There is even an Indian specialty shop, Not Just Spices, with ingredients for preparing Indian meals at home. These will come in handy after our visit with Chef Sanjiv Dhar at Rasoi Restaurant.
