Things To Do
Waterman Grille
An awesome little spot on the water that has fantastic brunch options! We considered this restaurant for the wedding shower and/or rehearsal dinner.
Los Andes
One of our favorite restaurants in Providence - amazing food and drinks! Be adventurous, the food is excellent and you cannot go wrong!! From their website: Located on this quiet corner in Providence, Rhode Island, this high energy eatery was named for the mountain range that runs through South America. Cesin Curi took the best cuisine from the region and created a menu lined with a fusion of Latin flavors.
Tallulah's Taqueria
Our favorite local taco place! Their menu is diverse even for a hole-in-the-wall place. They have an outdoor patio with picnic table seating, and street parking. Try their mango-lime agua fresca!
Providence Coal Fired Pizza
Great coal-fired pizza within walking distance of the hotel! From their website: Providence Coal Fired Pizza offers handcrafted, gourmet pizzas, along with other coal-inspired menu items. We use fresh and local ingredients to create robust and remarkable dishes. We also have a full bar, serving creative cocktails, a diverse wine list and a selection of popular craft beers. Open for lunch and dinner, Providence Coal Fired Pizza has a warm, welcoming and upscale ambience that the whole family will enjoy.
110 Grill - Providence
One of the Bride's favorite restaurants - great food and drinks! If you are a fellow Mac and Cheese lover, the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese is phenomenal!
Persimmon
If you are looking for something truly special, check out Persimmon. It is one of the best restaurants in RI! From their website: Persimmon is a modern restaurant serving ingredient and technique-driven American cuisine. Chef Champe Speidel combines his unyielding enthusiasm for the craft with a fierce commitment to sourcing the very best ingredients and products from near and afar. The menu changes a little each night to showcase Speidel’s personal culinary vision — and, of course, to keep things novel for our guests. Persimmon is a place that merges flavor, technique and passion, for a creative dining experience that is truly one of a kind.
The Malted Barley
Great craft beer & craft food! All of their food is made from scratch by hand and made-to-order.
Black Sheep
Great nearby local bar to grab some drinks or brunch on a Sunday!
Pastiche Fine Desserts
Always have a great selection of sweets. They are right off the main avenue in Federal Hill.
Waterfire
WaterFire is a series of over 100 bonfires perched across three rivers. Created by local artist Barnaby Evans, this mesmerizing art installation continues to draw crowds by thousands to Rhode Island's creative capital. Watch the lighting of this magical event paired with enchanting music with each weekly experience.
Federal Hill
Pizza, meatballs, the tiramisu - you know when you have entered the Federal Hill neighborhood in Providence just from the aroma of fresh basil permeating about. Known for its Italian American community, Federal Hill is inundated with award-winning Italian restaurants and great shopping to boot. Stroll along Atwells Avenue and stop in the food emporiums, bakeries, coffee shops, and boutiques. Listen to live music in DePasquale Square.
Shops @ Westminster
Great place to take a stroll on a nice sunny day and visit some great local shops and restaurants!
Audrain Auto Museum
A great treat for those who enjoy the world of motorsports. Located on Bellevue Avenue in the heart of Newport, the museum has a rotating display of nearly 300+ vehicles. Each display has a theme and showcases carefully picked cars, bikes, artwork, and the like.
Newport Vineyards
A go-to spot for the Bride and Groom. The Vineyard has an excellent wine collection, and stunning views. There is also an in house restaurant, and a newly added brewery as well. Be sure to check this out if you are in the area.
Newport Craft Brewing & Distilling Co.
For those beer connoisseurs, check out this great brewery not too far from downtown Newport.
Cliff Walk
No trip to Newport would be complete without spending a some time on the famed Cliff Walk. Walk along the water's edge and catch the stunning views of Narragansett bay on one side with historic Newport Mansions on the other. The Cliff Walk is free, but parking can be tough in the height of summer. Also, be sure to wear decent walking shoes as the walk has varying types of terrain.
Newport Car Museum
Another great automobile museum near Newport (it is actually in Middletown!). The museum has nearly 80 vehicles on display, varying from vintage to modern.
Rail Explorers: Rhode Island Division
We just tried this for the first time, it was a lot of fun and you get some great views of the bay.
