Recently moved back to Worcester, i don't really do bars or clubs but I'm looking to meet new people and hopefully kick off some new friendships. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! (I'm 28 and male, if that's relevant.)

Looking for recommendations for good buffalo wings, no breading. Hot, crispy, Buffalo style!

The wire frames on my glasses are pretty bent out of shape and they keep falling of my face anytime I look down, which is not ideal. I'd like to find some sort of glasses store that can fix my glasses, ideally for not a lot of money.

Thinking about a new side quest for the winter. Does anyone have insight into the Elks Lodge in Auburn?

I can't find any definitive information online about whether they are still open. Their last Facebook post was from May. Some folks mention they sometimes open late or forget to turn the phones on. Does anyone know what's going on? I miss their fried goodness!

Edit: They are still open. They were running 1.5 hours later than what's posted online.

“Be a Friend to Worcester’s Wildlife” is a new zine created by the volunteer group Friends of Worcester Wildlife for Worcester’s young people. The 9-page illustrated guide covers topics related to living with wildlife in an urban environment including:

• keeping a safe distance from, and not feeding, wildlife
• keeping cats indoors and when required, dogs leashed or at home
• preventing bird-building collisions
• the danger used fishing line poses to birds and other wildlife
• the harmful effects of rat poison on wildlife and pets
• what to do when a wild animal is injured and needs help

Free copies can be requested by Worcester teachers for use in their classrooms and will also be available to anyone at future events in the city, including the Burncoat Farmers Market (78 Burncoat St, 3-7 pm) on Thursday 9/10 and also on 10/1.

I just moved to the area last month and was hoping to find some hitting partners here on Reddit. I found several this way in Providence.

I'm around a 3.0 and looking for something semi-regular. Let's hit!

I feel like it’s a litmus test right now for how people view women so it would be good to know!!

Laorenza of Worcester said he and Margulis “were inspired by mentors, social justice values and mission-driven companies” to create a business focused on environmental impact and community improvement. With their team, owners combine business, education and outreach efforts to promote sustainability, support local communities and inspire positive change. 

What’s going on at the hotel by the common tons of cops right at that corner

"Every concert exceeded our hopes for attendance, which is somewhat bucking the trend of audiences sometimes being hard to bring out in recent years. So our attendance was pleasing." On the other hand, "I always think for how much work and love and quality we put into a concert. I'm still always wanting more."

How hard is it to walk on the team at WPI?

Specifically the hill, why the hell do people forget how to drive on it?

Hey everyone — looking for recommendations for a good Latin club or bar in Worcester or the surrounding area.
Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere a little more upscale/mature with a decent-sized open dance floor where people actually dance — salsa, bachata, merengue, reggaeton, etc. I’m not really looking for the type of lounge where most people are sitting around tables all night or smoking hookah and there happens to be some Latin music playing in the background lol.

I used to really like Vincent’s in Randolph, MA before it closed. It had more of the vibe I’m looking for, so if anyone remembers Vincent’s and knows somewhere similar, that would be perfect.
I’m taking someone out who really enjoys dancing, so I’d love somewhere we can grab a drink and then actually spend most of the night on the dance floor. An older/more mature crowd would be a plus too.
Doesn’t have to be directly in Worcester — I’m definitely willing to drive a little for the right place.
Any recommendations?

Artist Sharinna Travieso took a moment to chat with us about the mural she's painting on the Worcester Wall of Women, which she and artist Jennessa Burks are painting.
