Matchbook Monday: Twin Oaks Restaurant

Today’s matchbook comes from reader Jeff Williams.  Jeff runs the website Matchbook Traveler, and attempts to keep travelers up to date about places where you can still pick up matchbooks.  With our ever increasing No Smoking world, those locations are getting fewer and fewer, but Jeff manages to list a pretty good selection of spots.

Twin Oaks Restaurant in Cranston, Rhode Island

Like me, Jeff enjoys using matchbooks as a bit of a souvenir of a special place and occasion.  He’s provides this matchbook from the Twin Oaks Restaurant in Cranston, Rhode Island.  Back in the 70’s this was considered one of the top restaurants in the state, and Jeff said that he always looked forward to having lunch or dinner at the restaurant.

The restaurant, which got its starts as a Speakeasy during the days of Prohibition, is located at 100 Sabra Street in Cranston, is still around, and over the years has won a number of awards.  It serves up quality family food six days a week (closed Monday), and is open for lunch and dinner.

Thanks, Jeff, for sharing your memory and matchbook with us!
