This is arguably one of the most lauded restaurants in all of Providence, if not Rhode Island - and it's within minutes of the house on foot. It's a foodie heaven, just be prepared to wait.

Another great spot - I tend to grab a drink and appetizer at the bar when I go here. Their appetizers are hearty and often serve as a full meal for me.

My favorite bakery in Providence - plus you get free bread on your birthday (if you're on their email list). Great homemade scones, muffins, all kinds of breads (the olive bread is To. Die. For.)

Great local restaurant and it's only a 5-min walk from the house. French-American fusion food - they have a $5 mussels-and-frites special on Monday nights that's a bargain.

Great, cheap Mexican food. You won't find a lot of native English-speakers here, but they'll work with you (pointing at what you want helps).
The windows are heavily tinted but they're open!

One of the best meals I've ever had in Providence was at La Laiterie; there's a cheese shop attached to the restaurant.

Tiny fantastic breakfast place - only about a half dozen tables. The owner does all the cooking and waiting on tables himself. Be prepared to wait a bit - even on weekdays.

Another gem of the west side. Great cocktails, fantastic Art Deco interior, and completely hidden away in a residential neighborhood. There's not even a sign - just look for the green house.

It looks a bit scary on the outside, but it's really not. Small completely divey bar but great beer selection on tap and friendly bartenders. I like to go early before it gets crowded.

This is the closest "big" grocery store to the house. It's a 5-min drive and is in a big shopping plaza with a Kmart and a few other chain stores. Across the street is a Lowe's.

The Providence River winds its way through the center of town - lovely landscaping and views. Also where WaterFire is held - a must see if you're in town for one.

Shopping
This place is sort of a hangout for locals, but if you run out of toilet paper, or need mayonnaise (or some other grocery staple) they're convenient.
