My aunt and I officially booked our trip to Rhode Island! We are staying in Hotel Providence. What are some things we should do/see in late may?

Definitely get some hot wieners while you are here. Order them “all the way”.

Replying to Sox_in_the_box (#1,364,120)

I’ve been to providence many times but that was only the airport to go to cape cod. I’ve been to Boston and went to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox. I was mostly interested in Providence because I wanted to move there eventually and practice as a nurse.

Lots of great restaurants! You can see if there is a show playing at the Providence Performing Arts center. I also love the Providence comedy connection. Freeplay acrade is a fun 21+ arcade that's open at night-time with mostly retro games, all set to freeplay. Roger Williams Park is nice to walk around, any there is a zoo. There are some nice bike paths you can walk or ride a bike on (east bay bike path). Amazing coffee roasters (New Harvest, borealis, Bolt, We Roast). Go to the RISD art museum.

These are my personal favorite activities to do in providence and the surrounding area.

Eat all the good food! My favorite place to tell people about is Palos. After you eat , walk down the water to burn off all the calories:)

Definitely visit the RISD museum. Also walk on the East Bay bikepath. A walk around Brown campus and Thayer St. can be fun. I also second the side trip to Newport and/or the Green Animals estate in Portsmouth. Blithewald in Bristol is gorgeous in the spring as well - and, they do an afternoon tea - be sure to make a reservation if you're doing this.

Chomp for good fried chicken sandwiches, Knead for donuts (better than PVD in my opinion), plenty of breweries to explore if you like beer. Newport is fun if you want to see a bunch of old mansions and eat some good seafood. Narragansett/Charlestown are 35-45 minutes away for even better seafood and less crowded than Newport(if you’re coming in warmer months). If you do come to Narragansett, the sea wall is beautiful and Coast Guard House is worth the price because the food is delicious and the view is amazing. Narragansett lighthouse and Fisherman’s Memorial are great scenic spots.

Brown U. graduation and alumni reunions are Memorial Day weekend so don’t go near College Hill if you are here then. It’s madness.

Swan Point is one of the most beautiful spots in the state, if you like graveyards.
