I live in Elmhurst. It's safe to walk around. As mentioned above, Wanskuck Park is nice. You're also close to Providence College, I often walk my dog around the campus. If you head south on River the Pleasant Valley parkway is a nice walking spot. I'm not worried about my safety but I wish the city would invest more in repairing sidewalks and improving cleanliness with regular litter cleanup and more garbage/recycling bins. The lower income areas have a lot of litter and broken sidewalks.

Me too! Small and seemingly family run, great food, I once got coconut juice when I ate in and it was divine.

Love it here! It's diverse, and progressive, but somehow still townie and old school. And the food is top notch. As well as the friendly banter from strangers. I've never heard so many people crack random jokes when I'm out and about.

Co-opting this thread to ask about NY style pizza places in Providence and surrounds. What are the best? Seems like lots of local favorites feature Sicilian style which I like but not as much as a thin NY style crust.

I get my hair cut at a salon there. Wish there were more open shops, it's a cute building

I drink the tap water. It's fine.
