New Haven-style-inspired pizzas and classic, crispy thick-crust cheese and pepperoni, plus locally harvested raw bar, clam and seafood appetizers. Pizza Marvin’s interior design pays tribute to ’80s and ’90s nostalgia, with gingham-printed table tops and retro quahog and Rhode Island Red chicken art on the walls. Even the gumball machine is stocked with colorful gumballs printed with the Pizza Marvin logo.

Fortnight is a casual, experimental natural wine bar, operated by a workers’ cooperative, known for its relaxed neighborhood vibe and special pop-ups with local wineries and chefs. Check their instagram to see what events that have on or just swing by for some great wine and a nice charcuterie plate.

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.

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!

The Cable Car is a gem. Cozy little theater with couches! Even better, you can have a beer and a turkey sandwich while you are watching the movie!
