Things To Do

Chase Farm

This is a hilly state park that's gorgeous in the spring and summer. It's also where Joseph proposed to Lucy :)

Food!

We are pretty blessed (and spoiled!) in Providence with so many fantastic places to eat. A few of Lucy and Joseph's favorite places for lunch or dinner are (try to guess whose favorite is whose): - Pinoy Lane to Go - Bee's Thai - DenDen Korean Fried Chicken - Old Canteen (Italian special) - Plant City (vegan!) - India Restaurant - Wara Wara (Japanese ramen) - King's Garden Dim Sum - Pho Horn's (Vietnamese) - La Arepa (Venezuelan) - Tienda Y Taqueria Puebla ($2 tacos!) And don't forget about dessert! - Pastiche - Tricycle (Filipino-owned!) - Kow Kow - Three Sisters - Tizzy K's

RISD Museum

Up the hill, you can find Brown University and walk along the campus.

RISD Craft Fair on June 1

RISD students, alums, and other artists line Benefit Street with amazing handcrafted items.

Roger Williams Park Zoo

Beavertail State Park & Lighthouse Museum

Third lighthouse of the United States, and a really nice place to take photos.

Federal Hill

Rhode Island's Little Italy - scenic spot for great Italian food.

Farm Fresh Rhode Island

Open on Saturdays - a local market of fresh produce and unique bites.

Annual Wayland Square Sidewalk Sale

Wayland Square has many lovely shops and restaurants—Paper Nautilus (secondhand books), Red Stripe (Lucy and Joseph’s first date at a restaurant), and L’Artisan (cute café) to name a few.

Rock Spot Climbing: Lincoln, RI

We like to climb - and this is a great spot to try if you're feeling mildly adventurous while you're here. Next door is an axe throwing bar, too!

Lincoln Woods State Park

A great park for runs and outdoor climbs.

Cliff Walk

Newport is full of charming shops and sights by the sea - and this is as scenic as it gets! It's a beautiful walk near the campus of Salve Regina University.

Tennis Hall of Fame

We know very little about tennis, and yet we found this to be pretty cool. We went with our friends, and we had a great time.

The Breakers Mansion

Considered the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" of the Gilded Age. Reviews say it can get pretty busy, so if you're looking for another spot to tour, check out The Elks. (We have never been here, so let us know what it's like!)
