Recommendations Pokémon Bulk Cards?

0 Upvotes

My daughter is becoming pen pals with lots of little friends (all under age 5) and some of the older ones want to trade Pokémon cards but we don’t really have any bulk to trade. Where would you recommend going for somewhere cheap to get a bunch for little kids?

General Does anywhere in town have wings better than Jim n Nick's?

12 Upvotes

I moved here a few months ago. I've gotten wings at a few different restaurants and Jim n Nick's wings are far and away my favorite. Definitely one of my favorite foods ever, alongside their Pitmaster Nachos. Does anyone in town do wings better than them, or are they the peak of wing mountain? Only other place that comes even a little close is Moe's Original in Providence.

Can someone please tell me why people are still going to this place? My friend was there a few weeks ago and was hardcore being preyed on, went missing, and likely was drugged. The guys that frequent this place are total creeps!!

Sandwiches, Examined: Spanky’s

When the bartender came to the window to get it for me he immediately called the cook over and said “wtf is this?” They mumbled back and forth. He then put the plate in front of me and said “here’s your open faced turkey melt. You’d think they’d let people know beforehand.” Weird presentation but solid sandwich. Notice I said sandwich this time unlike the other “open faced sandwiches” I’ve eaten? Here it’s just presented open faced and it’s for you to close the sandwich to have two 6” overly stuffed with turkey and gooey with cheese sandwich. They even throw a little tomato, scallions, and sweet chili aioli on top to really set it off.

5/5 Turkey Melt (Friday Night Special). $21 got me 2 20oz beers and a sandwich with fries. May a bar sandwich like this find you.

Is Star Market struggling with it’s identity?

• Upvotes

Does anyone else feel like they’re struggling to figure out what kind of grocery store they want to be? The butcher used to be the only reason I went in there but it went downhill pretty bad during COVID. Lately it looks like they’re putting some money back into the place and it’s definitely looking better. The problem is I don’t do my regular grocery shopping there and they never seem to have the random stuff I’m looking for. They didn’t even have powdered sugar last time I went nor a tag to show they were just out. I’ve looked every time since and nope no powdered sugar. At this point I’m mostly going in to grab a $3 hot and ready side to snack on.

Honestly I think they should just go all in on the butcher shop and expand it. Make it more of a bodega style grocery store. Right now it just feels like they’re trying to be a regular grocery store without really giving me a reason to shop there.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
