It looks like a lot of campgrounds, Audubon nature reserves, state parks, and the only major city is Providence which is museums and food.
Try to prove it’s actually an island
If you can work it out in your schedule, the Waterfires in Providence are great.
If not, Spikes Junkyard Dogs is amazing. I ate there all the time when I went to uni.
Also Newport is further away but they have brilliant sights.
Or Point Judith.
Sad there is only one Spike’s left
That’s a shame! I remember when I went to Johnson & Wales, I used to walk down to the one near Pine Street (I think)
Sept 9th and 30th are full lightings, and are wonderful
Newport has some interesting shopping. Get some stuffies (stuffed quahog clams) if you like seafood. They should be eaten with a squeeze of lemon and the cheapest vinegar and cayenne hotsauce you can find.
Came here to say stuffies. There is also Rhode Island clam chowder. All the other seafood was good too. Stopped at a public house that had free oysters that changed my mind about raw oysters.
The Breakers mansion tour was also cool.
HP Lovecraft’s grave is there. I enjoyed looking around Providence at night thinking about it as part of his fictional universe.
I went to the Roger Williams Zoo.
There is a vampire grave people leave stuff at.
Also went to some museums and Block Island, but they just had a fire so that may be closed or difficult to get to right now.
If you end up in Newport and you’re up for a little outdoorsy activity, the cliff walk is very nice and has great views of the coast: https://www.discovernewport.org/things-to-do/cliff-walk/
To clarify: only Saturday.
Only thing I know about Rhode Island is that they made chickens there
Hope this helps!
What?
Go to Woonsocket and see a movie at the drive in!
