citylikeyou — Bayberry Beer Hall — Providence by Elizabeth Goodspeed

Bayberry Beer Hall is a contemporary take on a German beer hall—open year round and filled with plants, the space offers New England-made brews from local favorites like Oxbow, Maine Beer Co., Aeronaut, Proclamation Ale Company (and of course, Narraganset). It’s scandi communal tables are great for big groups, and despite being billed as a beer hall, it’s food is surprisingly exceptional and seasonally inspired. Be sure to try the pretzel.

Providence / Bakery

Tricycle Ice Cream makes bespoke ice cream sandwiches that are delicious, unforgettable, and unique—especially those inspired by co-founder Giovanni Salvador's Filipino heritage like the Ube and Coconut Cookie or the Thai Iced Tea. They also sell homemade ice cream tacos, and push pops, all of which can be eaten in their small patio out back.

Providence / Shop

Hungry Ghost is an artist-owned studio and shop that sells a range of merch (all printed in-house), as well as repurposed vintage apparel, patches, pins, local zines, VHS tapes, and other deadstock eccentricities. Great for souvenirs and niche Rhode Island joke products (like their notorious "Rhode Island Slut" sweatshirt, inspired by a scene in the original Dumb & Dumber movie).

Providence / Bookstore

Cellar Stories is, hands-down, my favorite used book store of all time. I have never left without buying a book. They have especially large sci-fi, art, cooking, and antiquarian sections, as well as a lot of great books on local New England history. Their organization system is lovingly chaotic, but profoundly helpful to finding exactly what you didn't know they needed. A must for any reader or artist.

Providence / Area

My favorite place for a walk. Beautiful colonial homes with the Providence skyline peeking over roofs and around street corners. I feel lucky to live in Providence every time I walk down it.

Providence / Cafe

Julian's is a Providence staple. It has amazing brunch, is vegan friendly, serves sweet treats like apple & spice cocktails & cherry cinnamon buns, and has a cozy-stars wars-cheerful-rock & roll vibe. I feel happy every time I go there.
