1. RISD Museum
I am yet another gushing Gus in a parade of "wow, I can't believe this fucking place exists and I never went here before today" people. It really is a great museum, easily on par with Boston's MFA and without all the crowds and hassle that the MFA…More »
2. Providence Wintertime Farmers Market
The market is back in for the winter and they are better than ever. I go right at 10 to avoid the crowd and get good parking. New vendors, lots of them this week, plus some old favorites. Top this off with a hot dog from Hewtin's parked outside and…More »

I am adding a star back on because they crowds have slacked off in recent weeks. I feel badly for… Read more »
3. Rhode Island Antiques Mall
Grampy's getting up there in years and he don't git as impressed by things as he usedta. But I admit that the antiques mall blew me away when I walked in. I spent HOURS here this morning and loved it.
Other people have described this place fairly…More »

Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhood: DownCity
The philosophy section alone will make your head spin! Great selection of darn near everything except some more mainstream great literature...it wouldn't hurt them to drop some Beats or other dead white guys. People DO read that stuff. Amazing…More »
5. Frog & Toad
I had this place pegged as a straight-up chick store based on the few times I'd driven past; the stuff in the window looked too foofy and, I dunno, non-macho.
(Insert gender stereotyping here...yeah, yeah, I know.)
I'm glad that I had the chance to…More »
6. Providence Art Festival
Downcity flava! Booths with crazy arty stuff! Glitter belts! Found art! Cool people-watching! Del's Lemonade! How can you go wrong?
Suggestions for next year: more, more, more! We need more booths, more food choices, more art!
Some folks might also be…More »
7. Dunkin Donuts
This former dump of a stadium has gotten a nice makeover and is actually a pleasant location to take in a show or a game. We park over at the mall and make the hike through the mall and Westin to save some parking dollars. I like the proximity to…More »
8. Hope Street Farmers' Market
I am pleased to update this review. Someone got their head screwed on straight at the market because they've spread out their area and they've added many more vendors including the ones who got pushed out last year. Best of all is that Wishing Stone…More »

9. Providence Place Cinema
Pros: Clean, semi-comfortable seating, big theatres, good sound, bar in the lobby. Nice manager who got us a sound assistance device.
Cons: cranky employees, maze-like halls that make it difficult to find your theatre ("You're in Theatre 15. It's…More »
