Soulita and InDowncity to Launch Weekly Providence Holiday Shopping Event

Shop local and support small businesses downtown with a marketplace, live music, and food vendors at Celebrate Downcity 2021

InDowncity and Soulita are excited to announce their first ever collaboration, Celebrate Downcity 2021. The event will be held at Grant’s Block and on Westminster Street, between Eddy Street and Union Street, in downtown Providence. The weekly holiday festival will kick off on Nov. 27 for Small Business Saturday and continue each Saturday, including Dec. 4, Dec. 11, and Dec. 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each Saturday will feature local small businesses, musicians, artists, and food vendors.

Celebrate Downcity brings together Providence’s local creative community and small businesses to offer guests the best holiday shopping experience the city has to offer. A marketplace at Grant’s Block—organized by Soulita—will welcome over 20 local vendors. Merchandise will include a range of products, including clothing, jewelry, skincare items, accessories, housewares, greenery, and more. Each marketplace will be accompanied by festive live musical performances featuring local talent.

“Come experience Celebrate Downcity 2021,” says Evan Delpeche, Co-Owner of Soulita, “as we establish a cornerstone of local makers and sellers of Rhode Island. At Soulita, we continuously strive to unite, inspire, and create through artistic expression in public environments.”

On Westminster Street, shoppers can also enjoy a well curated selection of gifts at Craftland, Queen of Hearts and Modern Love, Symposium Books and Records, The Vault Collective, Civil, Homestyle, and Eno Fine Wines. Each shop offers a variety of unique items, from handmade cards to vintage clothing to skate equipment, providing shoppers with a one-stop location for holiday purchases.

“Our local businesses experienced a tremendous setback last holiday season,” says Joanna Levitt, Director of Commercial Leasing and Marketing for Cornish Associates. “InDowncity and Cornish Associates are here to encourage and celebrate their path towards recovery. This holiday, these businesses will be vibrant, filled with unique goods and ready for their customers to shop safely. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Soulita, bringing creatives from throughout the city to downtown to showcase the best local holiday shopping our community has to offer.”

For event dining, InDowncity will welcome a line-up of favorite food and beverage vendors, along with cafe-style outdoor seating on Westminster Street. Visitors are invited to sit under the heaters and enjoy refreshing beverages from Long Live Brewery and delicious food from weekly rotating food vendors. Restaurants and cafes on and along Westminster Street will be open for dining as well, including Small Point Cafe, Sura, Kleos, Little City Coffee and Kitchen, Serendipity Gourmet, and the Malted Barley.

Warming Inside and Out: Melvin Brewing and Kühl® Launch NEW Scenario Porter with KÜHL® Giveaways and a Clothing Drive

Get the warm fuzzies this fall with a new collaborative release from Melvin Brewing and premier outdoor apparel brand Kühl®. In conjunction with Scenario Porter’s debut, Melvin and KÜHL® are giving back to the local communities where Melvin’s beer is sold and warming bodies on the outside by giving regional charities one premium quality KÜHL® jacket for every 10 cases or two kegs of Scenario Porter sold. Scenario Porter is available in limited release for three months starting Nov. 1 at select retailers coast-to-coast. 

A robust porter made with oats and midnight wheat, Scenario Porter (6% ABV/MSRP $9.99/12-ounce six pack) is a beer fit to warm your insides with the rich, warming flavors of burnt sugar, cocoa and toast. It’s the first in a series of rotating seasonal releases from Melvin focusing on less-hoppier beer styles.

Melvin Field Hoperatives will be hosting Scenario Porter tap events throughout the country where they’ll collect gently-used gear and warm clothing in good condition for donation to regional charities. Everyone who shows up at an event with donations will be entered to win a KÜHL® jacket of their own. 

“As a fellow independent brand, we feel a kinship with the good folks at Melvin.  We are proud and honored to collaborate on such a worthwhile promotion,” says Jonny Atencio, Director of Strategic Partnerships, KÜHL®.

Availability: Look for Scenario Porter in 12-ounce six-packs starting Nov. 1 at independent retailers in WA; OR; CA; ID; MT; AK; WY; CO; UT; SD; NE; MO; OH; MA; RI; DC; VA; and FL.

Now in its 15th year and the largest indoor market of its kind in New England, the farmers market runs every Saturday 9am to 1pm. The winter season runs through April 30, 2022, and the market runs year-round. For more information: farmfreshri.org/PVDmarket.

Market goers can shop with over 65 local farm and food vendors in a custom-built facility designed for hosting year-round markets. Think plenty of parking and room to move around. The new Farm Fresh building is also home to other local small businesses that will be open during market hours for a full range local farm, food, and beverage experiences. Anchor Toffee, New Harvest Coffee & Spirits, Red Tomato (no retail), and Rhed’s Hot Sauce are open now and Providence Brewing Company, Robin Hollow Farm, Tallulah’s Taqueria, and Wright’s Creamery will be opening over the coming months. (Opening dates vary, stay tuned.)

The regular Saturday market will be closed on Christmas and New Years Day, 12/25/2021 and 1/1/2022. But a special Holiday Market has your holiday shopping covered — Wednesday evening, 12/22, from 3 to 7pm.

The market accepts cash/check, credit/debit, SNAP/EBT, and Bonus Bucks. Farm Fresh RI’s Bonus Bucks nutrition incentives program provides an additional 100% bonus for customers using EBT—to increase access to fresh fruits and veggies for low-income individuals receiving federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. That means for every $1 spent with SNAP at the farmers market, shoppers receive a FREE $1 in Bonus Bucks tokens to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables.

Moniker Brewery Opens in Providence

by David Dadekian December 20, 2020
written by David Dadekian
Moniker Brewery

Moniker Brewery, Rhode Island’s newest brewery (though there are always a few on the way) is now open in Providence with a Grand Opening happening on Saturday, December 26th. Currently offering curbside pickup for three beers, as well as some merchandise. When Moniker is open for beers in their tapoom and beer garden, another nearby business, Bucktown, will be providing food service.

Eat Drink RI emailed with Bryan Benedict, Moniker’s owner and co-founder, who had previously worked at Beer’d Brewing in Stonington, Connecticut and Horizon Beverage in Rhode Island. Benedict described himself and teammates Jeff Goodno and Ben Estes as “lager lovers, so we will always have some sessionable, crisp lagers available. That’s not to say we are going to shy away from hops.” Goodno, Director of Operations at Moniker, most recently helped build Taproot Brewing Company at Newport Vineyards and was previously at Victory Brewing Company, SoMe Brewing Company and Tributary Brewing Company. Estes is the Head Brewer at Moniker and was previously at Proclamation Ale Company and The Guild in Pawtucket.

Moniker’s first beers, which are available now for curbside pick up, are:

Bucktown at Moniker Brewery
Bucktown at Moniker Brewery
  • G-dangit – a Citra and Mosaic IPA
  • Debut Single – a light, sessionable cream ale
  • Modern Chemistry – an American Pale Ale

When I asked Benedict about the name Moniker, he replied, “The name came about through the realization that what we were building here was not unique. There are over 10,000 breweries around the country. No amount of branding or stories would change the fact we are 1 in 10,000. We wanted to focus on the core attributes that make craft beer so appealing. It shouldn’t matter what the name on the building or can is. It’s about the beer, the experience and those who share both with you. So our focus is dedicated to providing the best beer and taproom experience and building a community here in Providence.”

Moniker is located at 432 West Fountain Street, across from the complex housing Y Noodle & Bar, Fearless Fish Market, The Slow Rhode and fellow brewery Beer On Earth, and down the street from Bayberry Beer Hall. Their site is at monikerbrewery.com and you can follow them on Instagram and Facebook for updates.

Table Reservations: Table reservations must be booked in advance of your arrival to Shaidzon. Tables can be booked through our Online Marketplace.

Entryway and exit: Guests must enter and exit using the ramp on the South side of our building by the loading dock. Guests must wear masks when entering or exiting the beer garden. Guests are asked to use hand sanitizer from the provided stations upon entering. 

Screening: According to Phase 2 rules, guests will be screened upon their arrival. 

Table Setup: The tables will be set up on the Shaidzon Beer Garden in the middle facing East to West (building to train tracks) and spaced 8 feet apart from table edge to table edge. There is an umbrella in the middle of the table. There will be a barrel on each end. 

Walkways: Along the fence/train tracks side is for walking toward the tables from the ramp. Along the building is for walking toward the ramp. One barrel is for the Shaidzon bartender to drop off ordered items, and the other barrel is for the bartender to pick up items from the table. The barrels will also provide an additional distancing measure from the bartender to the guests. 

Ordering Process: When settled at their reserved table, guests can order their beers by completing a provided beer form to give the quantities they would like of the beers available. The forms will be placed on the train tracks side barrel to be picked up by a Shaidzon bartender. The Shaidzon bartender will return with the beer and place it on the building side barrel. 

Checking Out: When checking out, a Shaidzon bartender will take a single credit card from the table to cover the tab for the table. The booking fee will be discounted from the total amount of the tab. The card provider will inform the bartender of the tip amount they wish to give, and provide permission to proceed without a signature, so that guests do not touch the point of sale computer. 

Bathrooms: Bathrooms will be portable restrooms outside. Guests must wear masks when using the restrooms. 

Mask Wearing: According to the Phase 2 rules, people must wear masks as they enter/exit, are away from their table and when they are using the restroom.
