LOVED being in Providence. The food there is soooooo delicious. And yes. There is a HUGE difference between a hot dog and a wiener there. I'm from the south so I didn't know that until I lived there for a while. Keep the delicious food vids coming! I'm living through you two and your travels!
Well, I know this is an old vid but your question about coffee milk should get a good answer. The drink wasn't intended as the boutique item you tried, it's origin and best examples are humble. RI Coffee Milk is whole milk flavored with either Autocrat or Eclipse coffee-flavored syrup. These two brands are still available in stores here and coffee milk itself is easy to make. Both syrups have a distinctive coffee flavor but they're also sweet. You can make your serving the way you want it. The NY System Coffee Milk is this way, I'm not sure what the Dave's recipe is.
It’s Cawfee Milk. I remember eating NY System Weiner for $0.25 a piece. If you’re still there try Del’s Lemonade. And Saugy’s. The Weiner with a snap. Oh, and Rhode Island style Clam Chowder.
Allison, yes, kids drink coffee milk in Rhode Island. Growing up in school, we had the choice of little packaged milks in 3 flavors: regular milk, chocolate milk and coffee milk! Great authentic RI video!
The milk man used to deliver milk to my grandmother in milk glasses then Sunday she sit the glasses outside in the bin they came in he'd take them back and sit the new 3 milks back I'm only 41 lol I remember so much growing up on the eastside
Yeah we've definitely went more towards food 🍽 It has become a huge part of why we travel! And it seems to resonate with the bulk of of our viewers. But we still love adventure though, and we try to balance the two 👍 Thanks for the comment!
TrunksGav, food is a HUGE part of travelling. Especially when in another country or other parts of the states. Food represents culture and where it's being made and comes from. It's always different and has roots to where it's made. Eating food, travelling, it's all amazing.
@@Theendlessadventure Really? You replied to this one-line, no-punctuation comment echoer, and not to Lori Warren who had the original, articulate, nuanced thought? Poor choice. For the record I think you're striking a great balance between food and general travel episodes. :)
I was just in Boston and Providence RI. We Uber'd from Boston to Providence $80+ tip - should have checked out Greyhound! But the fall colors were just spectacular. I've never been in New England in the fall - Wowzer. Dazzling! The area around Brown University in Providence is really great - gorgeous old homes (AKA "money pits." ) Gorgeous trees turning colors, hip atmosphere and very good food.
You should have had the coffee milk at the NY system. What you had is a Fancy Starbucky version of it. You would have gotten the real deal in Olneyville.
I have a friend who gives her kid coffee milk before bed, but that actually is because it winds him down ( he has add ). it was odd to me at first but that's a thing apparently.
Dang, I wish I'd have known you were in CT! I would've taken you to the casinos :-) Please tell me you didn't leave Rhode Island without trying a Del's frozen lemonade!
I noted with interest your reference to children drinking coffee. As a family we left the UK for a holiday in the US, taking our seven year old daughter with us. She drank coffee with milk, for breaakfast and there were always comments from servers and even other diners. The way we drink our tea in the UK the level of caffeine is the same as coffee or even higher. I am sure someone will tell me why we should not have allowed that and I will be interested to hear the reason. She is now in her 40s and a confirmed tea drinker.
Nobody from RI would have even blinked at you….when I was 5 my mom let me have a little coffee with much more milk…only way she could get something in my stomach before school since I could never eat in the morning…….you did nothing wrong, people need to mind their own business………
You guys picked the right things to try. Coffee Milk is our state drink and calamari is our state appetizer. Next time get clam cakes and chowder, Del's Lemonade, and PVDonuts AND Knead donuts.
Just a quick note, since you're on your way to Boston (you're probably already here). Some options for places to see/eateries to visit: Around the Boston Common (on Tremont: Lambert's Sandwiches... lambertsmarket.com) Around the corner(s) from the Old Burial Ground (Sam Lagrassa's for sandwiches)...samlagrassas.com Durgin Park (in the Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market area)...chowder and big prime ribs...also beans, scrod, etc.durginparkrestaurant.com Irish Pubs (for pub grub and good pours of Guinness): Mr. Dooleys (Fave of mine for the live music and NO TV) mrdooleys.com; An Tain ( antainboston.com); Black Rose (blackroseboston.com). Also be sure to try some of the variety of coffee shops in the area NOT named Starbucks of Dunkin Donuts...Pavement, Cafe de Nero, etc...some are chains, true, but we do coffee well here in the Hub. SBux and DD are OK too...but you know! Lastly, for things to do: - Freedom Trail - Look around the Public Garden (Oldest in the country) - Walk down Newbury street and window shop (don't spend money, just window shop and dream of Christmas!) - Walk along the seaport...visit the Aquarium (including penguins!) - Visit the Public Library at Copley Square (oldest in the country and it has great inner courtyards to chill out in) - Mapparium at the Christian Science Center Hope these suggestions help...keep up the great work you two! Mike
Next time try a pizza at either Caserta's in Providence or Twin's in North Providence. Go to Central Falls for a Stanley burger. Find somewhere on the south shore that has some RI clear chowda. Then go to Hartley's Meat Pies in Lincoln. You will not regret any of those. Particularly RI culture with all of them.
Not sure about the one you tried, but coffee milk is my favorite way to drink "coffee". Same reason why I love coffee ice cream - they're very similar in taste. Refreshing, cold, sweet and with a dab of coffee flavor. Surprised you hadn't tried it before.
Next time, you need to try clam cakes and chowda! RI has its own kind of chowda separate from New England style but both are awesome and there is nothing like dunking a clam cake into your chowda! Dels is seriously the best drink on the planet when it is hot. Right now, I wish I could get some whole belly fried clams which it seems, do not exist outside of New England. I think outside of New England, they just fry up some elastics (rubber bands for non-Rhode Islanders) and call that fried clams. ;) RI also has its own kind of pizza, only it isn't really pizza. It's really just thick bread with tomato sauce/paste, it's served at many a RI get-together and somehow manages to be really delicious despite the fact that it is not really pizza and has no cheese. And for dessert, try a doughboy! Maybe get an Italian grinda for the road. ;)
Just go to the grocery store and buy a cartin of coffee milk. It's not too sweet, just right. Buy some Autocrat coffee syrup and bring it home with you.
Omg coffee milk was my faborite discovery moving down to this area! Delicious 😊 If you guys ever get back to Providence in the future, you should check out the Waterfire festival. It runs I believe in the warmer months and is pretty cool. Gets really crowded though.

Discovered your channel completely by accident yesterday and subscribed immediately! Your videos appear effortless and are easy to watch which belies the time and real effort required to make good video. Keep up the great work.
Great vid guys.. I can say here in southwest wales,uk we have a hot drink called milky coffee...just milk brought up to the boil,then instant coffe added to it....I think the likes of Costa etc does do a very similar version but at 🏡 we boil it in the saucepan and a teaspoon of instant coffee,typically to our hot milk,and it really is delicious.hope u can try it one day.its really easy to do at home.
I know this is an old video but I just found it. Holy s#it $2.50 for one gaggah, does anyone else remember getting them 5 for a buck? And the onions back then were always minced, over the years places started to just chop them😮💨The last time I bought one they were $1.10 to $1.25, haven't made them in a while either. The way y'all described the foo foo coffee drink, doesn't sound at all like RI cawfee milk at all, it's simply milk flavored with either Autocrat or Eclipse coffee-flavored syrup, I personally prefer Autocrat. Growing up, then partially raising my kids there, the summers were always the best. Loved digging for clams, always had a knife to open some while digging🤤the steamers were the best, from ocean to the pan, unbelievably delicious! I sure doo miss it!😮💨
Atleast called it a wiener, then said tastes like a hotdog.. 😡. At olneyville NY system it's a specially made wiener, ask for hot dog go to back of line if busy, or thrown out, other places around RI sell NY style wieners but not sane everywhere, all have a take on a Greek chili/meat sauce. Wienorama has more allspice in it and awesome. Can buy autocrat coffee syrtand milk make own. You got high end stuffie lol, usually clams, Ritz crackers, butter and seasonings, chorizo/linguica.. but seafoody? Clams? Must be bad? Thought were foodies? Calamari is awesome when done right, depends how long cooked.
Rhode Island people are hard working and very friendly. You're seeing that in the diner. Working man bars are the same. However, if you're looking for a fight, you came to the right place.
She said is a wiener then a hot dog it’s self! SMH lol Overall it’s very good the food I only order two it fits right in their hand when you order a lot they stack them wiener up their sweaty hairy arm that gross me out other than that food is good just saying they work hard and sweat I don’t want hair or sweat on my bun they actually making the hood look good big ups 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This video is embarrassingly awful. I would've preferred to just watch a literal greyhound ad than watch this amateur trip through what is a genuinely amazing city and state. You guys couldn't look more out of your element at every stop if you tried smdh
It adds that extra sweaty working mans taste to it. Been going there since the early 80s. It gets interesting late at night when all the nut jobs come out. Olneyville is in the armpit of Providence.
I'd love it if they'd try fish and chips from RI/Southeastern MA area. I'd like to know if they're similar. The area was influenced early on by England.
Not just mustard. Yellow mustard. Anything else is heresy. You come in and ask for rosemary Dijon and you get kicked out. And whatever you do, NEVER as for ketchup. You will get Dijon before that LOL
Glad you enjoyed our state. Wieners at Onleyville New York System is the best. They have a special with both weiners and coffee milk. Yum! Coffee milk is Rhode Island’s “state” drink, u mentioned national. I’ll vote for that! Second place was Del’s lemonade. Enjoyed your video! Thx.
I grew up in Providence. Great choice with NY System and coffee milk, they are local staples. For seafood, I would have put clam cakes and chowder at the top of that list. The best places IMO are Jimmys Portside in Galilee, so it’s about 45 mins south of providence (driving). Maybe just as good is Iggy’s in Warwick, this is maybe a 20-25 min drive south of providence, not really a bike distance, grab an Uber. Grab a Del’s frozen lemonade to finish off the day.
Damn you -- Now I want a gagger all the way and a coffee cabinet. Signed stuck at work in RI. HAhahaha Great vid. Next time you're in RI find a Portuguese place that serves either blade meat sandwiches or otherwise known as caciola
Omg! I started watching you two because I was looking at videos of denver (where I'm moving) and then I found this video of you two in my current home 😄 so cool! Subscribing!
The beer looked best to me. The weiners weren't very appealing, especially the meat sauce, and I don't like clams. To me they taste like mud! And I'm very picky about calamari.
