Even though Providence is often overlooked as larger nearby urban epicenters like New York City and Boston are more often associated with tourism, it's still an excellent city to visit. It's a city that's got a lot going for it. Not only is it the state capital and largest city in Rhode Island, but it's also the third-largest city in New England.

At one time, it was a major hub for both industry and organized criminal activity, but over the years, the city has experienced a bit of a renaissance of sorts. These days the addition of parks, museums, restaurants, bars, clubs, and a variety of other attractions have helped the city to reconnect with it's roots while paving a way forward to the future. The Providence of today bears very little semblance to the one of a hundred years ago, but even so, it's done a good job at preserving its history and architecture in such a way that it still holds some of its original charm and soul.
The majority of Providence's attractions can be found in four distinct neighborhoods. Downcity encompasses the core of the downtown region as well as Waterplace Park, Capitol Hill, and Providence Place Mall.
Federal Hill is a neighborhood due west of downtown and runs along Atwells Avenue. There you will find a vibrant nightlife scene and some of the best Italian cuisines in the city.
College Hill, or The East Side as it is sometimes called, features some of the city's oldest and historically significant homes and architecture. It's also home of Brown University as well as the Rhode Island School of Design. The area is also known for its eclectic shops, restaurants, and lively urban culture.
South Providence has developed a pretty nasty reputation over the decades. It's a neighborhood that has historically been impoverished and crime-laden, but just like any urban setting, as long as you navigate the neighborhood with a little bit of caution, you'll find that it's a great place to go to get away from all of the hustle and bustle of downtown. There are plenty of restaurants, hair salons, banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, and libraries in this area, and downtown is just a quick 15-minute drive away.
In this video, we'll be taking a look at some of the attractions and sights worth checking out next time you're in town. Providence might not be a New York or LA, but it still offers many attractions and destinations worth exploring and visiting.

Do more research on providence RI. Specifically on Trinity repertory company. I worked there for 19 years. They are the largest arts organization in Rhode Island. They have had a legendary affect on the theater industry which is well known and certainly worth mentioning . They also support most of the other smaller arts organizations around the state and have a huge educational outreach program…
Benefit St., the Providence Athenaeum, the Fleur de Lys studios, the Providence Art Club, the John Brown House, the Arcade (the oldest indoor shopping mall in America), and the John Carter Brown Library. The narrator called it the John Carter Library and said it contained a collection of maps. It has one of the largest collections of early American books, maps and prints in the world, and it has exhibitions in one small room. It has also published many exhibition catalogs. Brown’s John Hay Library has a collection of toy soldiers in display cases as well as one of the best collections of books and prints on military history to be found anywhere.
The Hill is my favorite but Cranston has some fine restaurants also.
