Ushering in the New Year seems oh so right when it's done with the fresh and varied flavors of vegetable dishes, salad greens dressed with a miso vinaigrette and lotus root chips, combinations of black rice and sweet potato and banana-mango spring rolls for dessert.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Liberty Elm Diner, a vintage 1947 diner in Elmwood that the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission says represents the city's role in creating the modern American diner, was placed in the National Register of Historic Places for its contributions to the history of commerce and architecture.
