Head up College Hill to see Brown’s campus, and then pop along Thayer Street for cute boutiques, vintage shops, cafés, and bookstores. RISD's museum is also right nearby!
A hidden gem of an Italian district! Pass through here for aperitivo.
A quaint little street near the hotel with local shops, bakeries, and small restaurants — great for an easy wander.
A scenic harborwalk trail right by the hotel.
There are multiple options for boat tours of Providence via canal - a great way to see the city in the summer!
Met Links (formerly Metacomet) is a 9-hole Donald Ross designed golf course that's a <10 minute drive from the Hilton Garden Inn. JD will try to grab a block of tee times in the morning in advance, so either let him know if you're interested in playing, or feel free to book directly!
Providence has an amazing food + drink scene, with great outdoor patios in the summer. A few favorites we love: Aguardente (near the hotel) Laid-back, fun, and delicious Portuguese small plates - we like the Pao de Queijo, lamb chops, and spicy mussels. Persimmon (also very close to the hotel) A more upscale option for delicious local plates - make a reservation! Palo Spanish tapas and vermouth in a cozy space near the canal. Tiny Bar An aptly-named spot with a fantastic cocktail list. ISCO A local craft distillery, the oldest in Providence, and female-owned! Has a great patio & you can bring in outside food. JD likes their Blue Velvet Bourbon! Wickenden Pub A classic and favorite dive bar with 100 beer options (you get a special plaque on the wall if you order one of each... or you can settle for a T-shirt if you hit 33). Free popcorn! Hot Club A fun, high-energy spot for drinks right on the water - good for those who want to keep the party going!
