The Wedding Cake house was originally built in 1867 and served as the home of Anna and Laura Tirocchi, two Italian-American immigrant sisters who operated a dressmaking business before becoming vacant and settling into disrepair for decades. However, in the last 5 years it's been renovated and restored to its former glory by the long standing Providence feminist art collective The Dirt Palace. It now operates as a contemporary art installation, housing artists on short term residencies to engage with and work in the space. They also host regular shows, open houses, and, occasionally operate as a bed & breakfast. It's worth walking by to see the stunning architecture, especially on a night when you can go inside!

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.

Best coffee in Providence, hands down.

Yes, you can get the best baklava you've ever had here (the owner trained with "the Baklava master" of Aleppo, Syria as a child), but they have so much more, from stuffed dates to shawarma to falafel. Don't visit without trying one of their teas. Voted one of Bon Appetit's best new restaurants in 2019!

A fabulous little Antiques & Americana shop with a potpourri of interesting curios and vintage finds. New pleasing and peculiar finds land in the store every week, including fine, folk, and outsider art, objects of design, lighting, furnishings, signs and advertising, ephemera, antique toys, period clothing and textiles, curiosities, and more. Part of the Old as Adam store is dedicated to the Found Object Gallery, which every few months reopens with a new collection of objects bound by a different conceptual thread. The thematic exhibits sift through the material past to explore the chance poetics, contemporary relevance, and unintentional wisdom of old things, whether trashed or treasured.
