Food Scene

Great sandwiches!!! A cute little neighborhood deli tucked away on a residential street. You can also buy deli meats and cheese by the pound here.

This is arguably one of the most lauded restaurants in all of Providence, if not Rhode Island - and it's within minutes of the house on foot. It's a foodie heaven, just be prepared to wait.

Another great spot - I tend to grab a drink and appetizer at the bar when I go here. Their appetizers are hearty and often serve as a full meal for me.

My favorite bakery in Providence - plus you get free bread on your birthday (if you're on their email list). Great homemade scones, muffins, all kinds of breads (the olive bread is To. Die. For.)

Great local restaurant and it's only a 5-min walk from the house. French-American fusion food - they have a $5 mussels-and-frites special on Monday nights that's a bargain.

Great, cheap Mexican food. You won't find a lot of native English-speakers here, but they'll work with you (pointing at what you want helps). The windows are heavily tinted but they're open!

One of the best meals I've ever had in Providence was at La Laiterie; there's a cheese shop attached to the restaurant.

Fantastic vegetarian restaurant! I absolutely LOVE their food and I'm a carnivore. Greatt cocktails too - there's often a crowd but totally worth it.

Tiny fantastic breakfast place - only about a half dozen tables. The owner does all the cooking and waiting on tables himself. Be prepared to wait a bit - even on weekdays.

AS220 has a great bar and kitchen but it's also a downtown arts magnet - there's a gallery next door and they often have live music shows there.

Drinks & Nightlife

Another gem of the west side. Great cocktails, fantastic Art Deco interior, and completely hidden away in a residential neighborhood. There's not even a sign - just look for the green house.

It looks a bit scary on the outside, but it's really not. Small completely divey bar but great beer selection on tap and friendly bartenders. I like to go early before it gets crowded.

Essentials

Local organic grocery only 3 min from the house! They sell produce, dairy, meats and cheeses - all from local purveyors/farms. Plus a cute cafe with great coffee and wifi.

This is the closest "big" grocery store to the house. It's a 5-min drive and is in a big shopping plaza with a Kmart and a few other chain stores. Across the street is a Lowe's.

Everything Else

Great local park, framed on the south side by the Armory building that gives this neighborhood its name. May-Oct there's a Thursday farmers market.

The Providence River winds its way through the center of town - lovely landscaping and views. Also where WaterFire is held - a must see if you're in town for one.

Shopping

This place is sort of a hangout for locals, but if you run out of toilet paper, or need mayonnaise (or some other grocery staple) they're convenient.

Arts & Culture

GREAT museum! Frankly, a much better collection than I expected an art school to have. Great exhibits throughout the year as well.
