Governor eats to promote tourism

CRANSTON -- Governor Carcieri plans to dine at the Twin Oaks Restaurant this afternoon, the beginning of a summer eatery tour designed to promote the restaurant industry.

The governor is scheduled to make brief remarks at the restaurant at noon before having lunch with Cranston city officials and State Tourism Director David DePetrillo.

The restaurant industry is "one of the most vital engines powering the state’s economic development efforts and tourism industry," according to an announcement released by the governor.

As part of his summer restaurant tour, the governor plans to visit "everything from favorite local breakfast nooks, to lunch counters, to evening dining spots" across the state.
