Have a look at some of our favourite unique things to do in Providence and then re-route your USA road trip to include this quaint and creative city!ġ. You’ll find lots to do in Providence, aside from wandering the revitalized Downtown area admiring the three centuries of architecture, and lots of them are uniquely special to this place. We would even go so far as to call this one of the most liberal places in America. This combination of history and forward-thinkers has resulted in a charming city that is far more progressive than you might expect. But, to give Johnson & Wales all the credit would be to overlook that Providence offers the right blend of local support, community ties, and livability that keep people here. In many ways, this enviable food scene is thanks to the prestigious college of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University being located in the city. What we loved most was that there is barely a chain restaurant to be found in the downtown, and instead, in their place, you will find independent brewpubs, chic cafes, and vibrant restaurants to investigate. Providence is a student town after all, with the famous Brown University on College Hill – any city with this many students has to work to stay hip and relevant, and luckily Providence has done just that. In among all these dream houses, you’ll find an abundance of trendy coffee shops, intimate theatres, innovative restaurants, and great places to grab a drink. Providence is one of those rare destinations in the United States, which has a vibrant urban tapestry of both old and modern, and we had a lot of fun exploring both.
Though there is also plenty of engaging arts and cultural attractions to remind you, this is not a city that time forgot. We loved roaming its streets of 18 th and 19th-century buildings, taking endless photos and already mentally picking out paint samples (we can dream!).Ĭlaiming nearly 1,000 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, exploring Providence yields a taste of the cities wealthy manufacturing past. Providence, in particular, took us by pleasant surprise with its beautiful outdoor spaces, historical spots, and the delicious food in its miracle of a Little Italy area. There are hidden gems between those cities that you don’t want to miss.
The ‘islands’ near NYC (Long Island, Rhode Island) often get a bad rep as nothing more than suburban surroundings to the Big Apple, but to skip over them on trips between New York and Boston would be a mistake.
