Dining and Nightlife website launches in Rhode Island

TonightInRI, a new website that consolidates dining and nightlife information of premier restaurants, bars, and clubs in Rhode Island, was just launched to the public. Tonight in RI is the only website that allows Rhode Island's bar, nightclub and restaurants update their own profiles, which allows our site's users to get reliable information about where they want to go tonight.

At this moment, more than sixty RI venues have active profiles on TonightInRI. TonightInRI spokesmen have stated that they do plan on capping the amount of venues in the future.

"We listen to a lot of different people, and we learn about various places Rhode Islanders truly enjoy, and visit most frequently," stated Joshua Unseth, the site's director of Online Marketing "Our goal is to include the State's top venues on our site, with the basis being grounded in a running conversation with Rhode Islanders. Our goal is to continuously please them by having their favorite establishments on the site. That's what we mean by 'premier.'"

RI is known for its marvelous dining scene. TonightInRI provides a solution for people wishing to get a glimpse of the City's best restaurants by allowing them to browse numerous menus, dinner specials, pictures, and hours of operation - all from the comfort of their own home, and the convenience of their laptop.

"The site provides me with a very simple way to display my information, and push it out to people via the internet," said Fred Goodwin, owner of Bravo Brasserie Restaurant in Downtown Providence. "It increases my web presence at a time when people are acquiring a lot of information from their laptops and cell phones."

The dinner menus aren't the only thing that restaurant owners have made available though. The site doesn't just focus on RI's dining scene though. The site, as its name suggests, has a strong focus on RI's nightlife and bar scene too. TonightInRI has information on bars from Naragansett, Providence, and the rest of the state.

As social media is increasingly being used by individuals and businesses alike, TonightInRI fulfills an important niche - social media for bars.

"We utilize all the latest forms of social media to promote TonightInRI and our member venues," said Kyle Rowley, one of the site's creators. "And at the same time, our site allows the members to step out of the noise of Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter, and into a space designed specifically for them and their target audience."

In addition to menus and information, Rhode Islanders can find great deals at our participating venues. The site's most popular pages are those dedicated to individual bars and restaurants where owners and managers display their venue's deals, special events, and capacity. Don Jose Tequilas, a Mexican restaurant on Federal Hill, boasts a three-course dinner special for only $19.99. Charlie O's in Narragansett promotes free pool and $5 Bud pitchers.

While Nielsen Co. reports that people are cutting back most on gas, electricity and entertainment, it's important to note that they are also spending less on food. People are eating at home more often than a year ago. But when they do go out, they are shopping for deals and eating at cheaper restaurants. TonightInRI helps users select the right venue for them.
