Iggy's | Warwick Neck

( photo caption - took this photo midway through the meal - this is a half eaten lobster roll with a friend dipping a clamcake into chowder)

Writing about Iggy's is strange for me - I feel as if I'm talking about a friend. I am here all year - ordering the same thing: lobster roll with white chowder and a half dozen clamcakes.

Instructions: Dip the clamcakes in the chowder as I do. Ignore the fries as best u can, eat the lobster roll and a few dipped clamcakes, then take the remaining chowder and clamcakes home for a second meal tomorrow.

Located on Warwick Neck and South County, lines are long year round and the "Best of" magazine covers decorate a no-nonsense interior.

In bad weather you will find me usually parked in the lot facing Narragansett bay - eating in the car and looking out at the water. Occassionally feeding hungry gulls with fries.

IMHO the best clamcakes in RI + best deal on lobster rolls in the state. I am addicted to this place plain and simple.

Hewtin's Sausages

Yes, summer is defined (for me) by the return of the scant selection of Street Food ® that Providence, RI is known for- Del's Frozen Lemonade, Palagi's Ice Cream and an occasional variant of these two. I don't like either which is why I am really happy for Matt Gennuoso's Hewtin's truck. Every decent day from around June till it gets too cold in September he's been sending out a truck to Lippitt Park across Hope Street from his East Side restaurant, Chez Pascal. This week I discovered he's started a sausage business, too- a truck that's been making what he says are "test runs" to local bars (like the Scurvy Dog) in the evenings. Not one to get out much after dusk, I got to try one of his sausages today for lunch (this one Asian themed with cucumber slaw, pickled pineapple and peppadew peppers)- yum.
