I'm sure eating anything out of your kitchen would be much more sanitary

Reply to Alright, Providence, I want to know… by nixnaught
Food/drinks: Tallulah's taqueria, the Eddy, the dean bar (formerly the Magdalena room), venda ravioli, I liked the old canteen but it's been/being sold, NY system weiners,
Walking: prospect terrace/park, Roger Williams park, pedestrian bridge area
I find that we enjoy "taco hopping" - like bar hopping, but different taco places around town. Of course, there are booze involved.
Weekends have $10 unlimited-use commuter rail passes for easy getaways to Boston.
If you're into history, there are plenty of things to see. Benefit st, being one of the oldest in Providence, is always beautiful to walk down. The state house has a RI museum, which I believe is free to enter. You can see the state charter from 16xx. Roger Williams has a museum as well (like $2-$5 entrance fee), with natural life found in Rhode island which is fun. There are old witch graves you can find throughout the state, but you'll be leaving Providence. If you're leaving Providence,you can head to Newport and see the cliff walks, you can head to Exeter to see that witches grave, etc. - it's RI so these places aren't THAT far away. Smithfield has a lot of good restaurants these days (Laura's & blackies to name a few), so does Woonsocket (Ciro's, Christopher's, and river falls). I can always demolish a few sandwiches at the beef barn (N. Smithfield). Always have the cliff walks, too.

Ski shop plus in n Smithfield has a lot of gear, but I haven't been in a while because I remember the place feeling pricey. I may just be cheap, though!

A few lakes, including Lincoln woods and spring lake have had dangerous levels of algea over the last few months now

Reply to comment by frenetix in Why was Route 95 sited where it is in Providence? by HistoricalDocument11
The trend is noticeable both inside and outside of Rhode island - highways are built through low-income communities rather than high-income neighborhoods.
Even if not discussing 95... Highways in general. It would negatively impact property values so wealthy property owners would fight for their property.
Poorer residents don't have the resources to do the same.

The S curve, the reason it goes through south Providence...
Notice it doesn't go through the east side?
The government would have to put up more of a fight taking land from wealthy land owners to put up the highway. Putting it through lower socioeconomic zones means there was less of a legal fight. The S curve isn't just not to knock down building for nothing - connected businesses made sure the highway went around them.

I'm unsure as well. Incomparable to the likes of Texas Roadhouse, buffalo wild wings, etc.
Just tried to think of some places off the cuff which I've been to and thought to myself, "I'd go again".
