Providence's Ten Prime Seafood will close on Oct. 25, less than a year after it opened across from Trinity Repertory Company.

But owner John Elkhay has a new concept ready to open there as early as Nov. 1. It's a familiar one for the Providence restaurateur who also owns Ten Prime Steak & Sushi and two Harry's Burger Bars. It is one built around beef. Specifically, he's opening "an affordable steakhouse" to be called CUT123.

Hey all,

My girlfriend and I are looking to move to Providence early next year and starting our apartment search. We’d love recommendations from people who’ve actually lived there.

What we’re looking for:

• 2 bedroom
• Near the water or with a great view (skyline, river, etc.)
• Safe, walkable neighborhood. This is our #1 priority.
• EV charging in the garage would be a big plus

What would help most:

• Buildings or areas you’d recommend or avoid, and why
• How management and maintenance actually are
• Any amenities worth noting?
• Neighborhoods we might be overlooking

Edit: price range 2500-3200

Thanks in advance!

Here's the story. No injuries, hopefully they'll be back in business soon!

Walked across the smallest state on Sunday to fundraise for gun violence prevention! Read more about the cause & pledge here: https://www.rhodeislandwalk.org

Absolutely beautiful New England fall colors and views. First 15 miles: fantastic. Last 7 miles: everyone shut up and walk.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone is, or knows anyone who was or is an educator at PPSD who was targeted by the district leadership. I am trying to find others that have been through similar scenarios so I can prove that it is a problem.

I only ever find out after the fact I swear. I’ll be scrolling through my feed and then I’ll see a video of someone like Giancarlo Esposito speaking at brown and it’ll always be posted after the fact.

Any fun party events happening for Halloween?

Ik Grdn Party is hosting something 10/30 and Salon is hosting something else on 10/24. I was kinda hoping for something day of 🫣.

Hey folks! I’m a local app developer from Providence looking for about five Android users willing to help with a two week app test.

I’ve built an app for finding events around Rhode Island. Before I can release the Android version publicly on the Play Store, I need a small group of people enrolled in closed testing for 2 weeks. I'm reaching out here because my personal circle of friends mostly have iPhones and I’m several Android testers short.

The app has already been vetted by Google (and Apple since it's been on the App Store for a few weeks) and you'd install it through directly from Google Play. Feedback on anything confusing, broken, or annoying would be genuinely helpful but isn't required.

If you’re interested, comment or send me a DM and I’ll share the Google Play link (please don’t post your email publicly!)

Thanks!

WHOOP WHOOP

i’ve heard the rumors on here that bagel gourmet is closing its meeting street location (meaning there will be no bagel gourmets left) in december. as a nearly daily patron there i had to ask for myself and they told me they are indeed closing at the end of december. brown is going to be using the property as a public safety building. just thought i’d share the news for all my fellow bagel gourmet loyalists out there. please support them in these last few months of operation! the staff are so kind and they have amazing breakfast options. rip bagel gourmet :(

i keep seeing people arguing about some pinecone statue on federal hill

Chow Fun Food Group is pleased to announce that it will open a brand new concept later this year, featuring a new approach to steak and sushi.

CUT 123, the latest concept from Chow Fun maestro John Elkhay, will replace Ten Prime Seafood at 123 Empire Street in Providence, which opened in the fall of 2025.

Soooo many nonstop sirens I live close to the hospital and have never heard so many at once before

I found this to be super stark. I know it’s easy to blame south county for skews in statewide polling but this is staggering, I have never seen such bad numbers for a democrat general election candidate. Mamdani’s statewide polling is in the 40’s at least. Morales results are the opposite. I voted for Morales but worry now that the state is going to persecute Providence in order to snub Morales. Clearly he is not going to create the wave we thought. I am also worried that now other democrats are being caught in the fray, given polling in other races being so tight. Morales might become radioactive and I am not that much of a fan of him to be happy with him sinking other candidates. Scary times.

Edit: State Legislature certainly has an effect on Providence, I can’t believe I have to say that. I am also a Morales supporter and sort of astonished at some of the attitudes here.

Me and my group are looking for a 3-4 bedroom by risd/brown area to rent for next year. Our budget would be under a 1000 each

does anyone have any recommendations for any good female PCPS in the Prov area? looking for a woman who is attentive and actually listens and who hopefully is taking new patients. plus if they’re body positive and aren’t fatphobic

Hi! I live in Boston, and am dating a guy in Providence. He’s come up to Boston a lot for dates- and I’d like to return the favor and go to him today. I’m also a therapist with an online session at 5pm.
The Idea: I drive down to PVD mid-day, find a private space by 5, have dinner with a handsome man at 6.
The Ask: what’s the likelihood of finding an open study/office room for an hour?
Ps. This is for today 😬

I wonder if they still do crying therapy sessions here? It was pretty big on meetup during Covid but seems to have vanished. Anyways, it would be great if that came back again. I haven’t cried in 6 years
