My favourite restaurant in Providence used to be this tiny family-run
Cambodian place, but they sold it last fall and the new owners suck.

There's a Mexican place near my house where spanish gang members hang
out and sometimes people glare out you like they're going to kill
you, but the food is fantastic. I'll only go there with people who
I know are comfortable with this section of town. (Nervousness
attracts trouble.)

The only "nice" somewhat expensive restaurant I like is owned by
a friend, so I know everyone who works there, most of the customers
at the cheap meals (brunch, but not dinner), and my artwork is all
over the walls. Maybe 1/4 of the time they don't let me pay. :-)
