Camp Nowhere, North Providence RI


 Finding amazing food locations is top of my list. Thanks to the Phantom Gourmet, I saw Camp Nowhere and decided to stop on our way home from the zoo one day. 


The food is delicious and everything is less than $4 (even my drink!). We ordered one of just about everything and shared across the table. 

Camp Nowhere is located in North Providence RI and absolutely worth the drive there!

Cookie Monstah, Needham


 Is there anything better than warm cookies and cold ice cream? Cookie Monstah in Needham recently opened and the kids were thrilled to go try it out.




There are over a dozen warm, freshly baked cookie varieties and lots of ice cream flavors.  You can choose to eat them separately, together, as a sandwich, or as a shake. The prices are super affordable and the portions are huge!

Cookie Monstah can be found at 1257 Highland Ave Needham, MA.
