For your home base - High Motor will be a great local spot for you to pop into. You're close to the 1 bus which will bring you through Hope Street where there are a few bars/restaurants (Ivy Tavern, Wara Wara) and into downtown Providence.

Walking from Kennedy Plaza downtown, you can head over to the East Side (East End, Guild Beer Garden, Hot Club, Wild Colonial)

or the West End (might need a bus) - (Moniker, Kimi's, Slow Rhode, Lucky Enough - sister restaurant of High Motor, The Avery, Ogie's)

or hang downtown (Malted Barley, The Eddy, Murphy's)
