It looks like a lot of campgrounds, Audubon nature reserves, state parks, and the only major city is Providence which is museums and food.

katy ✨ ( @cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 6•10 months agoIf 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.

katy ✨ ( @cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•10 months agoThat’s a shame! I remember when I went to Johnson & Wales, I used to walk down to the one near Pine Street (I think)

cowfodder ( @cowfodder@unilem.org ) 5•10 months agoNewport 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.
anon6789 ( @anon6789@beehaw.org ) 4•10 months agoCame 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.
cobra89 ( @cobra89@beehaw.org ) 4•10 months agoIf 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.

Hope this helps!
What?
