???? Speaking of Rhode Island Monthly, last week I read a story they did on adorable outdoors apres-ski dining in Providence. Based on their story, my wife and I went to Chez Pascal and Wurst Kitchen last night for dinner, it was absolutely delicious and so much fun. The restaurant turned its patio into an Alpine adventure with a menu of hearty one-pot comfort food, après ski cocktails, and amaro. Highly recommend.
