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).

Best coffee in Providence, hands down.

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!

Oberlin is one of the best examples of Providence's fantastic dining scene—expect a wide range of excellent lesser-known, sustainably caught local fish like tautog, butterfish and bluefish, as well as a wide range of other regionally-inspired dishes like fresh pasta, homemade sourdough, and roasted local veg. The place has a real neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay for hours, which is definitely helped by the exceptional wine list and desserts (specifically: the Basque cheesecake).

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.
