Everyone needs a little sweet tooth satisfaction every now and then and this definitely includes Rhode Islanders! What better place to succumb to your candy cravings than an old fashioned style candy store offering dozens upon dozens of yummy sweet, sour, and chocolatey options. While there are quite a few candy shops, most Rhode Islanders agree that one sticks out among the rest.
Pearls Candy and Nuts is located at 4 Eddie Dowling Highway in the charming small town of North Smithfield. The building's fun exterior and hand painted images of candy make it super difficult to miss and an exciting place to visit.
I love a good restaurant, especially one with a dessert buffet. A really good meal means we leave full and happy, but it doesn't end with the entree. Sometimes the part of a meal we look forward to most is also the most decadent: dessert! While we generally begin our meal with an appetizer, a salad, or a bowl of soup, we don't always have to follow that tradition. One look at this dessert buffet near me in Charlestown, and you might just want to mix things up a bit and start with a goody or two. Welcome to The Nordic in Charlestown, RI!
