DESTINATION:

PROVIDENCE

DESTINATION:

PROVIDENCE

Providence has been branded the Rennaissance City and rebranded The Creative Capital but no matter what anyone calls us, we’ve always known Providence is the greatest city in the world! Welcome to the ultimate source for exploring Rhode Island’s capital city

THE SECRET
IS OUT

PROVIDENCE IS THE PLACE TO BE

Not that we need validation, but these international affirmations feel good. Over the summer, the Creative Capital was ranked number five on Food and Wine’s list of “Emerging Cities” in the US and was featured on Today as one of the top places to celebrate Independence Day. Gift Horse’s Sky Hanuel Kim was awarded Best Chef Northeast by the James Beard Foundation, and we landed on the UK-based The Times’ 10 Best Cities to Visit in the US. We love our namesake city and are pleased to devote this issue to exploring its streets, shops, eateries, and more!

EAT & DRINK

The word “craft” easily and aptly describes Providence’s restaurant scene, which makes sense for such an art-infused city. Without pretension, everything from coffee to cocktails, brews to baked goods, burgers to bibimbap, and pizza to pistachio ice cream sandwiches (on Madagascar vanilla cookies) is executed with artisanal flair. Whether you’re seeking cozy, elegant, eclectic, or grab-and-go, PVD’s cafes, restaurants, bars, and more satisfy a variety of palates and price points.

SHOP

For those who enjoy getting their shop on, you can’t do better than Providence. There are stores for all kinds of styles – from fancy to funky, affordable to pricey – featuring famous labels and one-of-a-kind handmade finds. The city’s streets were designed long before the automobile, resulting in a layout that is compact and wonderfully wonky, which means shopping districts tend to have businesses sprouting like mushrooms off main thoroughfares, so don’t overlook Rhody Gems that could be nestled in the smallest of side streets.
