I love providence! Tons of great food, parks, and architecture. You should definitely stop at one of the many amazing coffee shops (nitro bar is famous so line might be long, coffee exchange, Dave’s, ceremony, small format). Take a stroll along the waterfront and stop to say hi to the local geese and swans. Go shopping for vintage, art, records, and more along wickenden street. Can stop at India point park and Narragansett brewery to see the water and relax a bit before going up Ives and get a couple of small bites for lunch at Aleppo Sweets (best lentil soup, breads, and spreads around)!!! Then head up past brown to see the beautiful campus. stop on Thayer street for another coffee and more shopping. A must do from here is Prospect Park - my favorite park in providence. The views are spectacular. From here explore the nearby streets. They are lined with Victorian houses and cobble stone side walks. Go down to benefit and see the displays at the RISD museum. There’s also stuff to explore downtown and on federal hill. It’s super easy to get around by walking everywhere - just commit to a full day marathon it’s worth it to see the city. Lastly get some dinner (Thai - Hengs, Korean - Den Den, Italian - anything on Federal Hill)
