Many EG Businesses Showcased In RI Monthly ‘Best Of’

Rhode Island Monthly’s “Best of” issue is out and East Greenwich businesses are all over it, particularly in the Reader’s Choice Best of West Bay section. But three EG businesses – all on Main Street – got named in the editors’ Best of picks: Raw Bob’s for its fresh juices, Rasa for its fried cauliflower and Twigs for being an old favorite in a new location.

All three entities just happened to have opened in 2013 – which fits with RIM’s fresh take on what’s out there for its editors’ picks

Raw Bob’s has established a devoted following for its healthy juices and smoothies. Rasa has also drawn a loyal following with its Indian fare. Twigs, which moved here from Cranston, brought its customers with it, but has quickly become a good neighbor on Main Street.

In the Reader’s Choice section, a number of East Greenwich businesses were singled out – many for a second, third, fourth, even fifth time (Sprigs!). Congratulations to all!

Sprigs Flowers was left off the list, it was voted Best Florist – West Bay, the 5th time in a row it has earned that distinction from RI Monthly voters. In addition, Sprigs also earned an Editor’s choice award a few year back from RI Monthly.

Thanks, Tom. I was afraid I’d miss someone! I will add it now. Sorry for the omission.
