Temple Downtown

120 Francis Street, Providence, RI, 02903

The Temple storied past included two unlikely groups: masons and graffiti artists. Construction began on the building, which was originally intended for the RI Freemasons, in 1926. In 1928, work on the Masonic Temple ceased when funds ran low due to the Great Depression. Mason's walked off the job, leaving the building unfinished. Only the lounge, which was used for Masonic rites, was completed. The building remained unoccupied for nearly 80 years.
During its dormant period, the Temple was a haven for graffiti artists, who left their mark throughout the structure. In the 80's the state purchased the building, which remained empty until its recent rebirth.
Now the Temple is home to an upscale restaurant and lounge that still maintains the building's integrity and history.
Their surprising dishes delight and their unexpected flavors teases the palate. Whether you're kicking off your day with a plate full of power starches, lunching with lawmakers or dining deep into the night, their reinventions of regional favorites using local ingredients comprise divine dining.

Local 121

121 Washington St., Providence, RI, 02903

Local 121 is part of a landmark preservation project led by AS220. The arts organization bought the 24,000 square foot former Dreyfus Hotel in 2005 and renovated it into an affordable live-and-work space for artists, with an art gallery on the ground floor and a restaurant - Local 121. The Dreyfus hotel, built in the 1980's on Washington and Mathewson streets, served as dormitory from 1975-2000, and had been vacant ever since.
State Senator, Joshua Miller, and his wife Nancy Miller envisioned a restaurant that would not only stand out from the crowd and help define the downtown area as a "foodie" haven, but more importantly, create a restaurant that is ecologically, culturally, and agriculturally sustainable. Local 121 is aptly named for it's commitment to all things local as well as our physical location at 121 Washington Street.
We take seriously our obligation to our customers of providing the best each season has to offer. Our mission is to serve the best locally-raised foods available: vegetables harvested in season by local farmers who care about the health of their land and your food. Meats raised in sunshine on our New England pastures, with no inhumane confinement, antibiotics or growth hormones-ever. We work hard to avoid serving anything that's been genetically modified, packaged in a factory or transported very far. Our suppliers are small-scale New England farmers, cheese makers, and other food artisans we know by name. It's our goal to provide warm, gracious service and share our dedication of locally harvested ingredients with our patrons.
However, our commitment to local extends beyond our plates.
We recognize that by supporting local artists creates balance and sustains the cultural life of our community. That's why we actively support our local artists, from the tiny butter dishes on our tables to the large-scale photographs you see on our walls.
