Middletown Teen is Making Her Way in Music

From the first time Elvis Presley appeared on television his “risqué” dance moves and “suggestive” lyrics, older adults responded in abject horror. Same thing when The Beatles debuted on American TV eight years later. Their long shaggy hair and tight pants were just too much for the older folks who thought these “invaders” were destroying popular culture and stomping on the music they loved.

Step Inside This Massachusetts General Store Where The Food Is Straight Out Of A Hallmark Movie

If New England charm had a physical address, it would probably be 1228 Russells Mills Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Davoll’s General Store is the kind of place that makes you feel like the director of a feel-good movie decided to build a set, except everything here is completely real and the food is significantly better than anything you’d find on a film set.

Trendsetter: Meet Local Influencer Emily Scott James

Tell me how you got into dance. You started when you were two. Did you love it from the very beginning?. My mom brought me to a ballet class, and all the other girls were in full pink. I refused to wear pink. I said, ‘I’m going in all black.’ And the ballet teacher took me by the hand and brought me out mid-class back to my mom. She said, ‘She’s not ready for this.’ Now, having two-year-old twins myself, I’m like, ‘Are they ready?’ No, they are not ready. We moved back to Rhode Island when I was four, and that’s when I got into dance and fell in love with it.

She tried 30 espresso martinis in Providence. Only 10 made the cut

Just about any restaurant will make you an espresso martini these days. The problem is that most of them aren’t very good. Yes, that’s an extremely subjective judgement. But I’ve sampled enough espresso martinis – and experienced enough disappointment – to consider myself a bit of a connoisseur. I set out to find the best espresso martinis in Providence. I tried 30 different versions over the course of six weeks, and found 11 that I really liked. My main requirements: Espresso martinis should be made with real espresso. Not cold brew, not coffee syrup, not coffee-flavored vodka. They shouldn’t be too sweet. That means not being too heavy-handed with Kahlua and other flavored liqueurs. Anything made with simple syrup is an automatic no. I always order my espresso martinis dark, meaning without Bailey’s Irish Cream or the equivalent. (Once you add dairy, it’s just coffee milk, as far as I’m concerned.) And I refuse to try the dessert-like versions that involve caramel, butterscotch, or chocolate liqueur. It’s a cocktail, not an ice cream cone. Other than that, though, I’m not a purist (really!) and there’s no strict formula for making an espresso martini. Most bartenders use vodka, but you can
