Yesterday, my daughter and I had the chance to check out a brand new food court before it opens this Tuesday in Providence, RI. It’s called Track 15, and it’s located in the 1898 Central terminal Building where the old Historic Providence Union train station was located many years ago.
More recently, this space in downtown Providence was occupied by other restaurants, including Bar Louie, Raphael Bar Risto, and it was the original location of the very first Capital Grille. (The Capital Grille is now located across the street, with prime real estate on the Providence River and Waterplace Park, a destination every year for WaterFire.)
Track 15 features extensions of 7 restaurants in the area, offering a variety of cuisines: Mexican, Indian, Italian, American, Seafood, and Middle Eastern. The only thing that was obviously missing, unfortunately, was any sort of Asian food.
Of course, there’s also a huge bar (what good food court wouldn’t have one?) and, at least for our evening, they offered discounted parking with validation, a bonus in downtown Providence where parking can get expensive.
When you’re in Providence to see a show or just to hang out, and you’ve got a group of friends that just can’t decide on what to eat, Track 15 gives everybody a choice. Check it out the next time you’re in town.
